their own biography
the whole biography
kels is a triple threat: dancer, digger, and DJ. She had her musical upbringing in Detroit, where she danced for 13 years surrounded by the people who gave birth to the music and values that exposed her to different realms. Being present and sensitive trained her ear and took her musicality to the next level. In 2018 she started her party and mix series maneater - where she cultivated unique line ups that connected many talented DJ’s to share music in spaces that allowed them to shine. Maneater moved with her to Brooklyn in 2019 where it has continued to draw crowds to clubs and underground spaces alike. Meanwhile, kels continues to DJ independently at venues across the States including Public Records, Spot Lite, Dante’s HIfi, Hot Mass, and Nowadays. She recently launched a new residency at Nightmoves, a club designed by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, where you can find her playing an extended five hour set each month. As a former elementary school teacher of eight years, kels brings her empathetic nature and magnetic spirit to the turntables every time she steps into the booth. kels is an agent of change always pushing community to the forefront aka connecting the cuties. Her musical thought process, practicality, and genre fluid vinyl collection will take your heart on the voyage you deserve - if you’re open to it.Recently at Dead Letter No. 9, Good Room, Mansions · often with Shawn Dub, Mike Servito, Titonton Duvanté, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Underneath the warm sun that hangs over Brussels, a tiny three-by-three metre shack pumps out tunes day and night to a dancing crowd of onlookers. LeFtO is at the controls of Kiosk Radio, a perfectly placed wooden hut in the centre of Parc De Bruxelles. “Good day to you all outside the Kiosk, live from the park. Thank you for coming through,” says the soothing voice of LeFtO. The chatroom pings with hundreds of messages from around the globe as the crowds gradually tune in for another session out of leftfield from the Belgian music connoisseur. Lefto Early Bird fuels a hub of listeners with an appetite for new sounds, week in, week out. Becoming a household name at Kiosk Radio, as well as mainstay station Studio Brussel, LeFtO always has his finger on the pulse. A quick peek at the DJ’s Mixcloud reveals a hearty range of genres - with everything from house to rap to jazz and more. Fusing sounds from Belgium’s melting pot of musical talent with his relentless passion for new sounds, LeFtO has gone on to work with major names and labels including Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, Blue Note, BBE, Universal Music, SDBAN and many more. Cutting his teeth on jazz and new beat, a genre that moulded the shape of electronic music in 80s Belgium, LeFtO formed his early tastemaker know-how via his dad’s record collection. “My father mostly played jazz at home, he had a serious collection which I still own myself. I was probably 14 years old when I asked him for money to buy some records,” he says. “With a certain pride, most of what I liked was made in Belgium”. More a selector than anything else, LeFtO continues Belgium’s tireless musical legacy through his extensive palate, brimming with flavour. https://linktr.ee/leftoTheir RA profile lists Universal Music, !K7, BBE, Brownswood Recordings and 1 more.Recently at public records, Good Room, Black Flamingo · often with Marco Weibel, Nappy Nina, Haseeb Iqbal, none of them here that night
