One of the few public downtempo sets I ever played. This set was played in the chill room at Make Waves, The Rhythm Society's March 2019 ANDC event on the glorious USS Hornet, anchored in Alameda as a WWII museum. It was an epic event, with a lot of stimulation, so I played some of my all time favorite downtempo tracks, ranging from 1990s to some released a less than a month ago. The result is a 1hr 20 minute downtempo journey, that's sexy, atmospheric, and yet maintains that signature LeftCtrl groove. Listen and please leave comments if you like it!

(DJ Set, Downtempo & Ambient) "0FOX1 @ Make Waves ANDC

LeftCtrl —(also known as PolyGroovers, or DJ Zeel, real name: Konstantin Gredeskoul) started DJ-ing in the Bay Area in 1998, having been inspired and encouraged by @djethan Ethan Miller (FnF, BrassTax) among others. 

Konstantin produces downtempo music as PolyGroovers, (see https://soundcloud.com/polygroovers for more information).

Starting with the underground rave parties where he threw down Detroit Techno on vinyl, LeftCtrl played all over the Bay Area, with additional appearances in the UK, Spain, and Australia. 

He collaborated with @kem, Captain Tinrib, @henry-navarro and many more.

LeftCtrl's DJ sets feature a storyline, harmonic depth, and a smooth and deep, melodic, nearly always syncopated and groovy sound. Konstantin is an obsessively technical mixer, who admits to the most anal-retentive pitch-matching of the mixes, resulting in some of his entire sets played in the same key.

Since about. 2020, LeftCtrl refocused on the composition and production of tracks for the dance floor: house, progressive, and many genre bending tracks. Currently collecting sufficient portfolio for the upcoming releases in yet to be determined label.
