It’s time to groove with Leisuregroove!
By admin on Aug 14, 2008 in DJs and Producers
LGR MUSIC is the UKs freshest new house music label & mp3 download store. They specialise in funky, dirty, soulful and electro house. For DJs and house music lovers alike, you can download the latest tracks from all of their featured artists long before they are released in stores, which is really nice to see.
The guys behind the label, Trevor and Brad, also produce under the alias of Leisuregroove and have had a string of top quality tracks coming out of the last few years. They’ve just launched their artist album - “Leisuregroove WMC Miami Sampler”. After hearing some their latest tracks London Club City arranged an interview with Trevor to find out more about what’s going on in the world of Leisuregroove…
The following is a transcript of selected questions within the interview. To hear the full interview, please download the audio file using the “Quick links” box at the top right of this page.
I’ve been hearing a lot of your tracks recently, but Leisuregroove has been around for nearly 6 years now.
Yeah that’s right. In and out of the scene between the US Garage sound and House music.
What styles of music are Leisuregroove producing at the moment? Just house or are you experimenting with other genres as well?
We’re producing House, but actually we’re also doing a little bit of Hip Hop for someone as well. We’re just doing all round production really, but our first love is House music - that’s our main style. We do work with artists who produce other styles such as Hip Hop and Rap and release under the same name of Leisuregroove because we want to become recognised as global artists, you know?
Your artist album, “Leisuregroove WMC Miami Sampler”, is out at the moment, do you want to tell us a bit about that?
It’s a compilation of 10 tracks that we’ve produced over the last year and forthcoming releases that we have coming out over the next year. It’s basically a sampler of the stuff we do. The album features a variety of guest artists and songwriters and it really is a wide mix of tracks. We’ve gone from electro to soulful house though to minimal, and it’s just to give people an idea of what we’re about and what we can accomplish.
What have you guys got coming up over the next year? Anything interesting?
Yes! We’re starting a new label called Digital Disco. We’re currently working on writing some house music for this label, but we’re trying to write a specific style of house music to suit it, so we’re really working hard on that. We’ve got a big track coming up for release in October called “Untrue”. This track features Joe Kellington and is a full release on a German label. This track will also feature a remix from Ian Carey so it’s quite a high profile thing for us. I can’t wait to hear what the remixers come up with, and people are tipping it to be a big track so that’s great. We’re also working on a new album which we’re looking to release towards the end of this year, or the beginning of next.
