Leon Vynehall

Up until late last year,Leon Vynehallwas one of numerous house producers making music that referenced the classic Chicago sound. But he didn't really standout from the crowd of other like-minded individuals. However, 2014 has changed all that, and it's because he's taken a step back from the genre, incorporating a number of other elements into a house-based structure. Up until now, the best example has been "Inside the Deku Tree,"fromMusic For the Uninvited. His latest track, released as part of Will Saul's excellent DJ-Kicks compilation, is further evidence of Vynehall's growth. "Time" has a similarly organic sound, taking a somewhat mournful tone through use of drawn out strings. Certainly not your average house banger. You can get "Time," or the whole of Will Saul's DJ-Kicks, here.
