Band MembersLeko. Yeah, just me! If trying to reach me to send promos, it's Leko (at) DJLeko (dot) com ... Cheers!
InfluencesMy favorite DJ is Sander van Doorn, with Mauro Picotto number two. Be sure to check them both out if you've been living under a rock and don't know what's up.

My favorite producer (there is not even a close second) is Uberzone. If you haven't heard "Kung Fu", you need to go listen to that madness right now! I love how innovative and unique !Q! is. I can't recall a track of his that I heard and didn't totally get into.

My musical influences include Sander van Doorn, Uberzone, Deadmau5, Hijack, Richard Dinsdale, Santiago & Bushido, Sandra Collins, Chris Cox, Mastiksoul, Bryan Cox, Jaimie Fanatic, Deepsky, Hybrid, Sasha, Satoshi Tomiie, Mauro Picotto, Cajmere, Dajae, Lidell Townsell, Hardrive, Jaydee, House of Gypsies, Masters At Work, Kenny Dope, The Chemical Brothers, KRS-One, Boogie Down Productions, Kid 'n Play, The Crystal Method, Herbie Hancock, Dire Straits, Steely Dan, Thomas Dolby, and The Beastie Boys.
Sounds LikeLeko's style is a tasty mix of techy house, filtered progressive funk, and chunky fidget stew, seasoned with a pinch of breaks.

Musical Orgasm! Yummy. Think of that instant between when you hear the sound of canned whipped cream spraying into your mouth and when you actually taste it. Let's face it, the only way that stuff tastes better than right out of the can is when you're licking it off a hottie. Although pumpkin pie is a close 3rd.

Bio...



You find it difficult to make out the shadowy figures springing upon you at arms length as you navigate blindly through the dense fog which flashes in colors synchronized to the vibrations rushing through your feet and up your legs. The setting is 1992, at Club Orpheus in Baltimore's Little Italy district. Genderless silhouettes take the form of the underworld's most Gothic creatures of the night, in pale white skin with streams of black dripping down their faces. Screaming into your ears are German industrial techno mavericks Front 242 hunting your head, and Nitzer Ebb coercing you to join in the chant.

This was Leko's first exposure to the sheer power of electronic music. With none of the bureaucratic constraints of pop music applied by government regulators and know-it-all corporate executives, the freedom to explore, create, combine, and influence was limitless. The undead, who emerged at night seeking out transcendence, scoffed at society. This was the underground. And the underground was a deeper experience, of which the music was just a part.

Inspired and encouraged by resident DJs Joey Jamm and Donnie, crafting their wizardry with two Technics 1200 turntables on a platform suspended in the air by a system of chains and rubber bands, Leko began learning the intricacies of the legendary Urei rotary mixer.

Fast-forward to the present.

Having emerged from the Baltimore underground scene to infect dancefloors across the USA and around the world, Leko has enlisted with superstar Bryan Cox and his Crux Records army of the world's premier jackin' fidget maximal house producers. With fidget's heavy Baltimore club music influence, Leko carries with him a unique and deeply-ingrained perspective to the genre.

Through his own label, Tharsis Records, Leko stays true to his personal roots in progressive, industrial, breakbeat, tech house, and techno, while introducing his favorite new artists and collaborating with heavy-hitting names you already know.

You mean to tell me there is a kickass DJ up the road from me? And I thought I had to go out West for my DJs playing me, hehe! Looks like a huge event in June you are gearing up for.

Thanks for adding me... hope you'll see if you like Rain Dance. I've got a couple of other DJs playing it, some on digital radio, some in lives mixes. Been featured in an international podcast show too.

But of course I love the exposure, ha! And damn it would be nice to work with some folks locally!

Come on by, anytime Mr. Leko!
