Italian producer Leon is undoubtedly one of the success stories of the modern wave of young producer talent. His releases for VIVa MUSiC, International Freakshow, Soma Recordings, Supernature and Cecille have seen him set a personal benchmark for delivering groove-infused, tech-laden anthemic house. Something that the heads at Saved Records know one or two things about. 

This immaculate partnership culminates in a two track EP overflowing with distinct characteristics from both parties. The infectious 'Body Monster' combines a killer groove with instantly recognizable and equally contagious vocal, to provide an uplifting dancefloor delight. The B side, 'Agua Del Santo' provides a hypnotic insight into the talents of the young Italian, who has created a most exciting of debut's.

I can’t even describe what it means to have been invited to do the essential mix but I’ll try , the essential mix is arguably the most iconic electronic music show in the world I have been listening for well over 20 years myself , I would tune in on Saturday night and I would dream of the day that I might be invited to do the show. This Saturday that day has come , to be joining the greats like Daft Punk , @kerrichandler @masters_at_work_official and too many more to mention that I have admired for decades is one of those milestones that is so meaningful that it’s hard to find the right words.
I’m writing this sat on a beach in Thailand and my heart is full of gratitude thanks to everyone that has been on this journey with me I love and appreciate you all.

30 year old LEON from Italy is a man that has been making major waves in the house scene since his breakthrough at the beginning of 2009. Bursting onto the scene with a bang, LEON has carved out quite a reputation in such a short period of time., and this looks set to grow and grow. Releases for Steve Lawler’s Viva imprint kicked things off, followed by releases with Nick Curly’s much talked about Cecille label in Manheim, and the highly successful ReBirth records in Italy as well as remixes for artists such as Audiofly, Felipe Velenzuela & Ali Nasser. If that wasn’t enough Leon’s track ‘Rain In Rio’ was recently licensed to Cocoon’s ‘Green & Blue compilation’.

In 2009 Leon is one of the producers that is helping re-invent the house sound, and as such his tracks are getting support from all the major players right now.  Steve Lawler, Luciano, Carol Cox, MANDY, Loco Dice, Ricardo Villalobos, Tiefschwarz Matthias Tanzmann and many more are all fans of Leon’s work, so its not hard to see why people are already talking about him as a future star.

Born and raised in Teramo near Rome Leon’s obsession with house music started at a young age after discovering the music of Danny Tenaglia, Todd Terry & Laurent Garnier – something he still regards as a major influence on his sound to this day. Djing in Italy from a young age would inevitably lead to production for someone of Leon’s ability. At the age of 23 he took his first steps in the production world. However rather than rush things he knew he needed to hone his talents. 3 years of hard work later and he is starting to bear the fruits of this work, and starting to show the world that he means business!

With over 10 years experience behind the decks, its not hard to see why LEON’s reputation as dj, which was outstanding in Italy before his productions broke through, have now skyrocketed in the past year. Already djing in some of the worlds most famous clubs such as Cocorico in Italy, Pacha & Cielo in New York, Ministry Of Sound London, Zouk Singapore, Arma 17 Moscow, Sunwaves Romania, Monza Frankfurt and many many more.

Get ready to be hearing a lot more about LEON, as forthcoming releases with Viva & Cecille.
