Burning Brightly

To celebrate our 1 year birthday, we decided to invite one of the most remarkable freestylers of the dj circuit, Lefto. Being the dj’s dj, praised by Gilles Peterson himself who welcomed him years ago inside the Worldwide family, the Brussels talent is touring the world extensively the last years & nothing can’t stop him.

Deeply grounded in the Black music spectrum, Lefto is constantly exploring new sounds & is a genuine activist of the Belgian scene by promoting his own events, having a national radioshow in Belgium & taking part to all Worldwide events of Gilles Peterson in France, UK, Japan & Switzerland.
