Belgium's most adventurous spinner celebrates 3 decades of career with Lander & Adriaan and other succulent guests
“There are few moments as fun as Lefto firing off all cylinders...” - Boiler Room
Brussels DJ and producer Lefto Early Bird is undoubtedly an international beacon of good taste, whether dropping jazz, electronica, techno and house or hip hop. Appearing as a special guest on live shows from Robert Glasper, Thundercat and touring with Badbadnotgood just to name a few, he’s been praised for being consistently ahead, devoted to the future of music, not waiting for the next thing.
For more than 25 years Lefto Early Bird has dedicated every Sunday night to radio, from a local fm station to one of Belgium’s radio institutions and back to the local community radio station. His weekly show “Think Outside The Kiosk” broadcasts from the heart of Brussels on Kiosk Radio and simultaneously on Brooklyn’s The Lot Radio. It is his most important outlet to share his latest discoveries, exclusives and rarities for the audience onsite in the park and worldwide online.
Any Given Sunday will be the full celebration of his weekly Sunday evening shows, inviting musical and other artistic friends to the party. Lander & Adriaan already confirmed their presence, more names to be announced soon!
Belgian duo Lander & Adriaan have a very special bond with Lefto: their legendary surprise concert at the master’s Kiosk Radio show marked the start of their international career after the live video went viral!
Drummer Lander Gyselinck (STUFF.,Beraadgeslagen,Hihats In Trees) and Adriaan Van de Velde (Pomrad, Mauro Pawlowski, J. Bernardt) were brought together by their common fondness for slick digital synths and 90s underground dance music genres, driving them to symbiotic jams during the first lockdown in 2020. They haven’t stopped raving since, releasing records at a steady rhythm. Their performances at quality festivals are always met with critical acclaim, appearing on several top 10 lists for best live shows of the 2024 festival summer. Their loony mashup of corny jazz with all kinds of 90’s dance genres like Chicago juke, Detroit techno, UK-Funky and Classic rave, guides you to a realm of (not so) guilty pleasures, sweet drumming frenzies, pulpy saccharine melodies and mushy basslines, all gently weaved into raw dance music. This remains a must-see live act, sparking a craze wherever they perform their 360° set.
