RISING SOUTH EAST LONDON PRODUCER LEAPS PRESENTS MESMERISING NEW SINGLE ‘CLOSE’ FROM FORTHCOMING EP

Producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Luke Osborne, aka Leaps, is the latest Goldsmiths alumnus to add to South East London's rich electronic music legacy. Inspired by Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Four Tet and BICEP, their distinctively soulful sound blends elements of house, garage and an infectious '90s futuristic nostalgia, and is already garnering endorsements from BBC Introducing Dance and

plus.

'Close' is the first single from the highly anticipated new EP 'Transcendent' and their first on the French Unity label. The track weaves dreamlike vocals over haunting pianos, hypnotic pads and open-plan garage, beat evoking the nocturnal longing for connection in an unforgiving urban landscape.

The entire single manages to provide introspection, absorbing energy and twilight light, and that closes a record that knows how to turn musical pulp into a refreshing ambrosia juice. The more the record is listened to, the more difficult it is to locate it in a specific geographical location. His music seems to never solidify, to be a flow of sounds and impressions that never seem to remain fixed in place or memory, like a perfume or a quick vision of a body in motion, until it postulates as one of the true future values of tame and lustrous electronics.
