Since releasing his debut Sargas EP on Connaisseur Recordings in 2015, Italian DJ/producer Lehar has refined a deep, emotive signature. He’s gone on to release productions and remixes for Lost & Found, My Favorite Robot and Moodmusic.
Lehar recently released an evocative mini album for Diynamic’s brand new Picture series, featuring a selection of six choice cuts. His relationship with Diynamic dates back to 2016 when his dropped his Magical Realism EP and contributed “Lonestar Memories” to the 10 Years Diynamic compilation.
While the genre of deep house is currently brimming with upstarts looking to take the genre to the next level, Lehar’s unassuming sound is already making an impact and winning favor among DJs and clubbers alike.
Curious to know about the music he’s playing, we connected with the Venice native and asked him to share his five tracks of the moment.
1. Enzo Elia feat. DJ Cash – “Black Birthday”
Enzo Elia is a long-time friend of Musumeci, and since he introduced him to me we became very close. I’m a big fan of his music. When Musumeci sent me this demo for Engrave last summer, I immediately fell in love! The B-side “Turks Do it Better” is very cool as well. Forza Enzo!!
2. Boot & Tax – “Dimensione A”
I like them a lot. The disco atmosphere they create in every track is modern and unique.

3. Musumeci – “Hey Mama”
One of my favorite productions by my buddy Musumeci. I’ve been playing it for at least the last six months! Great!

4. Chaos in the CBD – “Pressure”
Been fan of the guys and of the label for a long time. I love using this track at the beginning of a set usually.

Fantastic jazz-house track. I love to play it on early mornings.
