Peter Westheimer – Tin Drum (Len Leise, 33rpm Edit)

Len Leise Edits (LL001)
Limited edition edits. Side A 'Stars for Jorge' turned into more of a remix and the B side 'Desperado Dining' is much simpler in execution. These started as edits for me to play out a couple of years ago. But due to a few requests I thought i’d give a them a press. I’ve only pressed 150 of these. All hand numbered.

Out at the end of May.
Exclusively available via Public Possession

As taken from the Test Pressing site. With much thanks to Apiento and Dr Rob.

Ok so we are about to hit a run of mixes again at Test Pressing. Dr Rob sent me an amazing ambient one that I need to get him to post but first up we have a new one from shining star Len Leise. His new album on International Feel “Lingua Franca” hits the shops tomorrow and its a beauty. I run the label alongside Mark Barrott and we have a lot of fun with Len. He makes amazing music very very naturally. Which is apt as his music both for us and Aficionado, as well as his edit 12, are all very organic. They have a truly natural sound. This album to be honest required hardly any help other than encouragement to finish it. So as we are about to hit our run of mixes again we asked Len to do us one. And here it is. It’s suitably oddball. x.

AN AFRO DANCE MANIFESTO: LISTEN TO LEN LEISE’S NEW VINYL-ONLY MIX

VF Mix 22 is courtesy of Len Leise.

Beginning his 2015 with a self-released edits EP that immediately sent the ‘wants’ to ‘haves’ on Discogs into the stratosphere, Melbourne-based record collector and producer Len Leise has dropped a stunning 75-minute “afro dance” manifesto for our latest vinyl-only mix.

With his new mini-LP Lingua Franca on International Feel catapulting him to the top of every Balearic head’s End Of Year list, this new mix digs around the roots of the record in a little more detail, pulling out the Nigerian boogie bombs and odd-ball fashion funk 12″s that never leave his record bag.

Assembled from the rare (he was willing to swap a copy of his coveted Edits to get hold of one) and the not so rare, it’s a journey that reflects the wanderings of Lingua Franca, taking you down river on a raft of shimmering synths and percussive grooves.

One side of Lingua Franca was heavily influenced buy the afro disco and funk that I regularly DJ out. It happens a lot that what I DJ in turn comes back into my music in some subtle way. So this being a more uptempo mix is more of a representation of what it’s like to hear me DJ out, the tracks I love to play whilst paying homage to some of the tracks that helped shape and inspire Lingua Franca. Particularly the B-side.

Ing - The first release for General Purpose (GP), a record label created by Len Leise and longtime DJ partner and collaborator Salvador. Leise and Salvador neither plan to release exclusively on GP, nor promise regular releases. It’s a label for when they can find the time, energy, money and, most important, the sound they believe in.
Ing is about embracing change, experimentation and progression. Terrified to follow a format, Leise looked to other genres for inspiration. He turned to his love for dub, afro, post punk and experimental music to find guidance. Artists like Scientist, Jah Shaka, Savant, Adrian Sherwood and Andromeda all in their own way influence Ing.
Ing is not what you’d expect from Leise. Ing is a dub record, a post punk record, an experimental record, a balearic record, a homage record, a record with a purpose. General Purpose 2016 (GP001)

Negativ Magick - Dark Pool (2010)

"Blow in the bag", The second release for General Purpose. This time labelheads Len Leise and Salvador Ricardo as General Purpose have teamed up with swedish Anton Klint to bring you a different structure to a dance movement. "Suck of the Sav" is a melodic array of swirling jungle sounds colliding in a rainforest off the coast of Jupiter. The beat is deeply moving and organic. Anton Klint shows his rough psychedelic techno sound with his "Suck of the Sav re-interpretation". A charged and confident club track to lose yourself in, on the dance floor, eyes closed, feet moving, shoulders chugging and chest vibrating. Lookout for the switch-up. "Slim Dusty" premiered here is what it would sound like if you were riding a kangaroo whilst on acid in the Australian outback. Now imagine that ! It's a bouncy, fun, quirky percussive number that will ensure 100% vibe.
