Bio
Initially conceived as the producer/MC duo of Nikolai and Eff le Ref, Left Step Band have immediately set their stall out with the aim of confounding expectations and moving away from the traditional hip hop formulas being peddled around the scene. A love of reggae, dub and old skool ska are all evident in the band's sound – new E.P, Rebels of the Front Line (available now) features everything from Jerry Dammers-esque keyboards on the title track to the shuffling, to the laid back beats of 'The Deep End'. Not content with being a mere studio project, Left Step's ranks quickly expanded to encompass a full live line-up. Meeting through that most modern of mediums, the internet, Nikolai and Eff le Ref were put in touch with Zac who seamlessly slotted in to their ranks. These three developed a chemistry which would become the bedrock of the LSB sound but quickly realised that a final magical ingredient was missing. Having toyed with the idea of introducing a guitarist to their ranks, LSB eventually decided, as they always do, to do things their own way. The final piece to be added to this diverse puzzle is a familiar face, namely BBC Radio 1 breakfast DJ Dev. Recognition has been quick to follow – live slots supporting the likes of Finlay Quaye as well as stomping remix from Nu Skool Breaks legend Rennie Pilgrem, have seen the band turning heads and capture hearts in recent months and 2011 is looking to be LSB's year.

Influences
Late London nights, the smell of fresh vinyl in the morning, cold Guinness and warm hearts, full tanks, open roads, home made salsa grrr, days you just can't get knocked off the pool table, Baileys and ice, big f***in' drums, herb gardens, comfy cans, bus conversations, mavericks, maestros and moochers, tables that turn, tall stories, long odds, big dreams and the music of all time.
Sounds Like
A Natural Mysfit groove collective, The Rivvum, The Rebel, The right move from the Leftfield. The toast of London smeared with the sweetest jams. Beats so fat they clinically obese. Get some LSB on your USB. Wildstyle.
