Portsmouth based producer Leon Vynehall is definitely one of the most interesting up-and-coming artist of the Deep House scene. The English talent made his debut in 2012 on Well Rounded Housing Project and George Fitzgerald‘s label ManMakeMusic and reached a wider audience with his now classic House EP entitled BROTHER & SISTER released on Will Saul‘s Label AUS MUSIC in 2013.

Leon Vynehall has a very genuine and noble conception of music. According to his recent interview with Gabriel Szatan for the Boiler Room, nothing is more important to Leon than the feelings associated with a record. Leon Vynehall‘s music is stufed with micro-samples taken directly from his mother’s K7 tapes and hard to find vinyls he collected through the years. There is something nostalgic and romantic about his approach in terms of production. Music is not about fame, money or glory, it’s personal, experimental. It’s all about recovering and elaborating deep feelings and memories from his childhood and teenage with audio snippets as tools. A kind of Proust’s audio-Madeleine actually.

Leon Vynehall‘s music is pretty unique and the feeling that stands out from it, is an impression of liveliness, on purpose imperfections, good taste and nostalgia. Even tagged with the House or Deep House imprint, it’s sometimes hard to define Leon Vynehall‘s music because it’s not that easy to fit it in a modern genre-locked playlist.

Leon Vynehall latest release is entitled MUSIC FOR THE UNINVITED and is actually a mini-LP with seven genuine music pieces from electronica to House Music where samples and interwoven sonic tics arrive from all over the map. In the title It’s Just (House Of Dupree), introduced by an excerpt from the wonderful PARIS IS BURNING documentary about the rise of the VOGUING Dance movement, the beat is totally unsteady, which is quite unique in the House Music genre. Since Leon Vynehall is a smart man, there’s no doubt this off-the-grid groove has been made on purpose, maybe as a tape machine flutter reminiscence… maybe to avoid blending it with other titles and keeping it as a stand-alone audio-cutup piece of art.

Last but not least, the talented Leon Vynehall is going to play in Montreal at Piknic Electronik on Sunday the 10th of August 2014. We are really looking forward to seeing him playing there and he really deserves to be acclaimed here.
