The histories of BBE Music and the
Southport Weekender have intertwined
since day one. The first release on the
label, Stop & Listen Volume 1, was
compiled by Dr Bob Jones, the venerable
UK selector who was for many years an
integral part of Southport's core of
resident DJs who helped shape the sound
of the Weekender scene.
Over the past ten years, the label has
continued to release multi-genre
compilations, mixed with some killer
artist contributions while still
finding time to introduce authoritative
new collections such as 'The Kings Ofà'
series, always working with veterans
and newcomers of the finest stripe.
It's amongst this musical royalty that
the history of the label and the
longest running indoor dance and urban
music event in the world continue to
converge: an incredible number of
Southport Weekender guest artists have
been showcased on the label, Jill
Scott, Roy Ayers, Jazzy Jeff, David
Rodigan and Kenny Dope amongst them.
With this in mind, weÆre most proud to
announce a joint venture, building upon
this symbiotic relationship with an
anticipated run of joint projects from
these two groundbreaking brands: real
music for real people from the world's
friendliest party!
First up is LeFtO whom Fact! Magazine
described as "your favourite DJ's
favourite DJ", affiliated with
Brownswood Recordings, Blue Note, !K7
Records, and one of the most
significant tastemakers Europe has to
offer. This bearded early riser is
consistently a couple steps ahead of
your average early adopter.
He doesn't wait for the next thing to
land on his lap, he actively seeks it
out, just take a peek at his playlists
on Belgium's foremost national radio
station Studio Brussels which received
compliments from Rough Trade Shops,
Gilles Peterson and has featured on MTV
Hive. However, don't assume that he's
only working futuristic angles - no
sir. Firmly rooted in jazz and hip-hop,
he sharpened his digging sensibility
working at the now legendary Music
Mania record store in hometown
Brussels. His passion for jazz resulted
in a remix album for Blue Note. LeFtO
is forever moving forwards but always
got an ear in the past. Famed for his
gloriously eclectic DJ sets, he
switches effortlessly between hip hop,
funk breaks, neck-snapping beats,
future bass, south-American influences,
along with wild African rhythms. He's
not only a deejay and producer but also
curates his own stage at the Dour
Festival and his own nights in the
Belgian city of Gent. World renowned,
LeFtO regularly blesses sound systems
from Tokyo to Seoul, Singapore to
Manila, Kazakhstan to Germany, San
Francisco and Los Angeles, with
residencies in Amsterdam and New York.
