When it was announced last week that rapper/producer/dancer/musical extraordinaire Le1f would be heading to Australia next year for Sugar Mountain in Melbourne, I could hazard a guess it wasn’t just me that had a little bit of a broken heart that it was just going to be the one show. However, with a new week comes new prospects – and a new Le1f tour for 2016!
Now extending his festival appearance to include sideshows in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, 2016 is going to be off to an absolute cracking start come late January. Possessing one of the most fiery and exciting presences in the international music scene right now (and has done for some time now), Le1f brings with him a a fierce and enthralling performance that can only be seen to be believed.
Le1f will be coming Down Under off the back of his latest album Riot Boi, which will be released later this year. Featuring collaborations with Dev Hynes, Junglepussy, Don Christian, and Miss Geri, as well as recruiting the likes of Lunice, SOPHIE, Blood Diamonds, Salva and more for production duties, it goes without saying that Riot Boi just became one of this year’s most anticipated records.
He has already released two tracks, Koi and more recently Rage, and both tracks paint an interesting but nevertheless game-changing and unique picture that shows Le1f in a more experimental and ambitious mode. Listen to Rage below, and get on those tickets as soon as possible – they won’t last long!
Riot Boi is out November 13 via XL Recordings/Terrible Records.
