RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2026
Much of the Collide's sound is derived from an old Aria Pro II electric guitar from Leif's childhood, scratched up with damaged and unpredictable electrics. The record leans into this sense of things being broken or damaged -- and how sometimes things need to break in order for listeners to make sense of them -- reveling in, rather than resisting, unpredictability. Lush textures traverse the listener. across unexpected terrains.

WHYT 020LP
|
Made up of six tracks but presented as two 17-minute pieces, Leif's Loom Dream meanders through warm chord-scapes, glistening synths, and loose live percussion, woven together with field recordings and ambience. Loom Dream invites the listener to peacefully reconnect with the living world by placing one amongst lush sonic verdure.

FOF 008EP
|
"Welsh wunderkid Leif returns to Fear of Flying after his much played Commonplace EP from last year with another beautifully paced EP of super sweet minimal house music. 'Squally Showers' kicks proceedings off with solid house kicks before dropping into a beautiful, melancholy melody which gives the track its main hook. Dutch good 'uns Polder kindly give 'Squally Showers' a bit of a tech-house dust down, giving it more drive and keeping the groove more constant to ratchet to up to PEAK TIME level. We think you'll be hearing this quite a bit. Flip the script for 'OHNH,' a track Steve Bug says is 'right up my road.' We're talking fine minimal house beats, we're talking warm grooves, we're talking -- well, enough talking, just listen. And finally 'Everywhere I Go I Meet Myself' -- smooth deep beats, wrapped b-lines and some Gregorian chanting -- what else could you need? We may be biased, but we reckon this is Leif's best yet -- suck it and see."

TRIM 006EP
|
"Trimsound presents its sixth release from in-house artist Leif, with a special remix from minimal master Pheek. Leif has been busy recently with releases/remixes on labels such as Moon Harbour, Morris Audio, Frankie, Logistic, Floppy Funk and Fear of Flying, often working together with label partner Tom Ellis. Our Canadian friend Pheek has established himself as one of the genres most innovative artists with his work on Archipel, Epsilonlab, Thinner, Kalimari and Minus! Customer Services EP embraces a variety of styles, the title track is pure chunky tech-funk and 'Kindling' provides us with some dry melodic crispy microhouse. Pheek throws in a beautiful extra phat techy remix of Customer Services and finally 'Mining for Opal' explores Leif's deep dubby style, in a similar vein to his previous outgoings on Textone and Archipel."
