Imagine at your local event in Leeds you hear J Dilla beats transition to Len’s jerk 🍇🍇
Now this is what I do at Low Notes, I love to curate mixes across different hiphop sub-genres, inspired by Japanese listening bars and leaving the Disco & Funk for Aka Low. Other Djs come with a more electronic groovy rhythms. In resume this a night of good music and boogie on a nice sound system that you cant miss.
Now this Tuesday 31st is the next Low Notes night at Holding Patterns. Dont miss that 🤎

Promotion aside,
Sometimes social media can make you feel pressured on external judgments.
As an individual and creative you need to protect yourself.
Artist I admire dont rush their art, as much as I feel like getting it out and letting ppl hear it. There is a stronger necessity of keep turning up, learning, exploring, polishing.
Anyways, Im currently in the production stage of a mixtape project, along with @rogerthatfuckingstings and collaborating with my Dahlia family as usual.
Apart from this, we have been also creating music with @paulgalassia that Im actually looking forward to share when the time comes.
This stuff keeps me going with intention on my day to day. But also it feeds into new ideas, new projects and more art and experimentation.
More information about the projects later down this 2026.
Thanks to the people being part of the shows, sets and events, asking about my music and seeing the process; Love.
