After the widespread acclaim for "Shoulders Back" and "July V", Leif
fires up his 10" TIO Series with another pair of dazzling, future-minded
cuts for the more inquisitive dancefloor. Increasingly he's been moving
away from house and techno conventions towards intriguing broken beat
variations, and that's apparent in abundance on this new release.
"Bluebird" rides on a set of tough but dynamic drum ripples, but the
stand-out element is the gorgeous twinkling arpeggio that pirouettes
over the top of the beat. "Number 13" meanwhile takes a moodier, dubbier
approach without losing that deft programming, harmonic warmth and
crafty rhythmic interplay that has become Leif's calling card in recent
times.
