About this artist

LeftKicks

Leftkicks was born in 1984 in a very small village near Granada, a city located in the South of Spain. Since he was a teenager he has been strongly interested in electronic music and groups like Chemical Brothers, Public Enemy, Crystal Method, Beastie Boys, Nwa, Orbital, Boards of Canada and similar groups which got him in the world of electronic sounds.

When he got a good computer in 2000, he started to create his own rhythms with music software. Shortly after, he bought a MIDI keyboard and started to go more deeply into this topic. It's true that the above-mentioned groups are his influence. They mark his music. However, he creates his music taking the first basis from hip-hop and funk to the purest electronic tracks. He loves to play with the sampler and destroy sounds but also enjoys his collection of free VST synthesizers.

VRB010 released: Unknown Door by LeftKicks

LeftKicks

Unknown Door creates an atmosphere marked by science fiction and B-movies. It is an imaginary travel, a door to get away from the routine world and experience something totally unknown.

The idea of the EP was to look for an attractive and hypnotic atmosphere and give it a hint of funk with guitars, drummers and basses treated with their own effects.
