A peak hour dance set from the 3 Degrees & Unison collaborative campout over Fourth of July weekend near Yosemite at Spinning Wheel. Magic was in the air, and so was the heat. Enjoy!

3 Degrees + Unison: Bubble Trouble Campout 2024

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.

Music has always been at the core. I had a bit of muscal training early on, but it was the Bay Area rave scene that really shaped me - the nights that went 'til sunrise, the sounds that didn’t fit anywhere else, the feeling of being fully lost in it.

I’ve been producing and DJing for over two decades, across a wide range of genres: ambient, deep house, breaks, techno, drum & bass — whatever tells the story. I came up as part of a house music collective, playing countless underground events, always chasing the feeling that only a perfectly timed track can deliver.

There was a long break in the 2010s, but since returning I’ve been reconnecting with the craft in a deeper way. Some recent tracks have gotten real love, and people have been resonating with the sets again — the flow, the selection, the sense of journey.

I’m not here to follow trends. I’m here to move people.
