Leif – Resident Advisor podcast #394
“Deep Welsh house music.
Leif Knowles is a quiet achiever. Since 2004, the Welsh artist has steadily released music through a small pool of labels, earning him the respect of DJs but mostly flying under the radar. His best tracks—from the minimally-inclined music of his early years, through to his more recent deep house output—have high production values, a pleasing sense of swing and tons of warmth. He’s a resident DJ at the much-loved Freerotation festival and has played outside of the UK a few times, but his touring schedule is steady rather than busy. All of which made it a pleasant surprise when he released one of the finest house albums of this year. Dinas Oleu saw Leif step back from the dance floor and refocus on melodies and atmosphere—it was described by RA’s Kristan Caryl as a “sumptuous symphony of sound.” We don’t think the record will make him a star, but it should hopefully create a wider audience for an artist who deserves one.”
