English record producer Leifur James announces the release of ‘Magic Seeds’ LP alongside a 2025 European and UK Tour. Opening track and lead single ‘Smoke in the Air’ sets the scene, spectral and hypnotic. Like many songs on ‘Magic Seeds,’ ‘Smoke In The Air’ evokes the wonder of the natural world but also the threat to it, underlined by gritty, DJ Shadow-influenced bass.
James has steadily built a reputation as a vital new voice in electronic music on both sides of the Atlantic. Gaining support from the likes of Pitchfork, KCRW, BBC 6Music, NTS, Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Bradley Zero and actor Cillian Murphy. His 2018 debut album ‘A Louder Silence‘ defied convention, deftly blending IDM and minimalist avant-garde influences with Nina Simone-inspired vocals and capturing heady nights at London’s long-lost and beloved club Plastic People. A remix EP followed, featuring respected leftfielders including Bruce, FaltyDL and Coby Sey.
Yet James refused to stay in one lane. ‘Wurlitzer’s’ ominous crescendo of neo-classical piano and sub-bass won acclaim at film festivals thanks to its visual by Hungarian director Balázs Simon, and then came his second, more challenging electronic full-length. 2020’s ‘Angel in Disguise’ garnered attention from the dance music world, earning praise from Mixmag, CRACK and DJ Mag, and culminating in a full performance on Boiler Room.
