LESKY - Mink Coats & Ladas

German-born, Tbilisi-based producer LESKY returns with new EP “Mink Coats & Ladas”. Packing his renowned recipe of crisp drums and spacey synths, LESKY once again creates a unique soundscape of laid-back beats and refined melodies, that is rich in engaging detail. With a little help from some friends – namely German producers The Breed and MAS as well as British guitarist Waywell – LESKY sonically solidifies the Tbilisi lifestyle into a 7-track-EP. The artwork comes from Parisian illustrator MC Blue Matter.

LESKY was born in Leipzig and after a short intermezzo in Cologne moved to Georgia in beginning of 2021 to pursue music full-time. Since 2019, he has dropped several EPs and two full-length albums (both released on LP) on Melting Pot Music and has worked with well-known labels like Blue Note Records/Astralwerks and Lofi Girl.

His music is a canvas of diverse influences, seamlessly blending the sophisticated harmonies and textures of the Soulquarians's Neo Soul movement, the deep grooves of Hip Hop, and the multifaceted futuristic visions of electronic music. With a discerning ear for details and a strong, high speed work ethic, LESKY creates tracks that feel rooted in the moment of their creation yet thought-through.

LESKY's tracks have garnered widespread acclaim, cementing his status as one of the most promising producers of his genre and securing his place as a regular in the biggest editorial playlists of the Lofi phenomenon.
