London duo Leftwing & Kody are on a mission to take house music to the next level. And so far they’re kicking butt! Having established quite a reputation for themselves through issuing highly impressive dance floor tracks on Off, Exploited, Anjunadeep and Alive, the secret to their success is their keen ability to infuse elements of UK garage into their pumping tracks. This month they released a rousing remix of Todd Terry’s classic jam “Bounce to the Beat” and recently issued the Into the Deep sample pack for the folks over at Loopmasters. Ahead of a busy summer filled with DJ gigs, we caught up with the guys and asked them which artists are in heavy rotation in their world.
Leftwing & Kody play Loughborough Student Union in Loughborough on June 19 and Summerfestival in Antwerp, Belgium, on June 29.
