With a long list of label appearances to his credit, LEFTI‘s expertise as an ever-sharp signee in the disco house space has been well established. In recent years, the funk arbiter has made his name known via Sakura Music, Mark Knight‘s Toolroom Records, Big Beat, and Nurvous Records, among other imprints. And now, as LEFTI’s artistic footprint expands with the foundation of his very own label, the New York native can add Quincy Boy Records to this roster. Originally conceived as a conduit for the content that LEFTI chose for self-release, Quincy Boy Records will naturally play host to some of the label head’s own originals and collaborations; however, it is also primed to welcome releases from other creatives, who currently include Calo Vance, Sum Bloke, clavette, and Bubs. The curatorial undertaking colorfully commences with LEFTI’s “I Demand,” which finds him taking aim at an effervescent, get-out-of-your-seat aesthetic.In an interview with Dancing Astronaut, LEFTI discusses how “I Demand” sets Quincy Boy Records’ groove in motion, his motivations for establishing the label, and its namesake.
