About LE FRIQUE SONIQUE:
LFS (Le Frique Sonique) goes down monthly at the Moroccan Lounge on the outskirts of Little Tokyo and the dtla Arts District. Bodies of every shape and shade move together, sweating out the toxins of the day – absolutely all are welcome here and intolerance is not tolerated. Celebrating the bold, untamed styles of every culture and genre worldwide. Sounds from Lagos to Bahia, Brooklyn to Bogota, Detroit to Berlin, Kingston to Chicago, London and beyond.
These LFS events are unique in that THERE IS NO OPENING ACT. From 9:30 until 10pm we gather in the front bar. Then at 10 the doors to the main room open, we all walk in together, Sole plays the first record and we co-create the 4-hour journey together.
Long Beach’s Native Sol will be doing a pop-up and selling the LFS merch, all printed on vintage T’s, jackets, jumpers, jean shirts, hot pants and army fatigues all one-of-a-kind, hand-sourced by Sole. Ozi’s Kitchen cooking fresh Jamaican dishes (Vegan options too).
LEFTO EARLY BIRD:
Like many of his generation, Lefto has gained a global following because of his radio shows. Broadcasting on the likes of Kiosk Radio, The Lot Radio and the late Worldwide FM from his base in Brussels and several shows on NTS, he's become an international beacon of good taste whether dropping jazz, electronica, techno and house or hip hop.
Appearing as a special guest on live shows from Robert Glasper, Thundercat and touring with Badbadnotgood just to name a few, he’s been praised for being consistently ahead, devoted to the future of music, not waiting for the next thing — he seeks it out.
No wonder he is affiliated to many international labels like Brownswood Recordings, Ninja Tune, R&S Records, Boiler Room and Red Bull Music. Lefto’s biggest personal achievement is a remix album for Blue Note, but he also released productions on International Anthem, Heavenly Sweetness, Bastard Jazz Records, has a Serato record, and curated compilations for Gilles Peterson, Universal, BBE and SDBAN.
Famed for taking his crowd on a journey from Jazz to anything he likes, and blessing sound systems around the globe with regular nights in Japan, South-Korea, USA and Europe, he also curates his own nights in Belgium, is a resident at Horst Festival and hosts a stage at Dour Festival, the European Award winning festival.
Now looking forward, 2024 will see Lefto Early Bird’s first full length record and his third Jazz Cats compilation. Futuristic yet rooted in jazz influences, ‘I Sing To Find Peace of Mind’ sets the mood perfectly for the year ahead
JEREMY SOLE:
Chicago-born L.A. resident Jeremy Sole has been collecting vinyl from around the world for 30 years to build his own global sound. Sole’s remixes and live DJ sets are soundtracks for the “genre non-conforming”, blending or downright transcending era, style, tempo, and genre. He has had the honor of sharing the stage and/or recording in the studio with hundreds of his inspirations over his career, including Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayers, Chaka Khan, Moses Sumney, James Blake and many more. Gilles Peterson named Sole "#2 DJ Of The Year, 2011" as well as "Radio Show Of The Year, 2014". Sole was the last DJ to open for both Ray Charles and Gil Scott-Heron on what turned out to be their final concerts. He deejayed for Sly Stone's birthday party, worked on music for a year with Ms. Lauryn Hill, enlisted Daptone musicians to reimagine a 1976 classic for David Bowie in his final days, and was asked to spin traditional New Orleans funeral dirges atop a giant animatronic octopus with Susan Sarandon, leading a procession of hundreds through Burning Man to bring Timothy Leary’s ashes to the temple.
Sole is most widely known for his weekly KCRW radio show, now in its 16th year, where he helped break many now-major artists with their first radio plays including Black Pumas, Hiatus Kaiyote, Michael Kiwanuka, The Shakes (now Alabama Shakes). He aired the world radio debuts of music for Santana, Bardo (Chicano Batman), Rhye, Gary Clark Jr, Yusuf (Cat Stevens), Aaron Frazer, Saul Williams and countless others.
