Itโs fair to say Leftwing & Kody, real names Jon Kong and Chris Adie, have made it look easy, but itโs their determination and diligence thatโs helped them prosper so rapidly in such a short time. Before long support from the upper echelons of house and techno quickly burgeoned, with Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, James Zabiela, Maya Jane Coles, Loco Dice, Steve Lawler, Adam Beyer, Nic Fanciulli and Huxley continually advocating their productions throughout the years. Before long the pair had launched Lost Records, before kick-starting it with a lauded release from Darius Syrossian. Now, with regular label showcases and a Beatport topping discography spanning forty releases, Lost Records can boast a roster including wAFF, Josh Butler, Detlef Yousef and Mihalis Safras. With everything mentioned itโs no surprise, then, that Leftwing & Kody continue to charm BBC tastemakers such as Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Monki, MistaJam and Nemone. Meanwhile, press support has been equally tenacious, with the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag, Thump and Dancing Astronaut regularly endorsing the likely duo.
Reflecting on a 2016 thatโs seen Leftwing & Kody and Lost Records attain new heights, including releases on Viva, Truesoul, Mobilee and Knee Deep In Sound a renowned summer residency at Viva Warriors (Sankeys Ibiza) thereโs clearly no symptoms of Jon and Chris resting on their laurels. With releases already lined up on Wow Recordings, Relief Records, Solid Grooves and a landmark 50th release on Lost Records, fans of their high-octane musical aesthetic have an exciting 2017 to look forward to.

You had nothing to show
When I was crying out, you left me there to bleed
But now the table's turned, you have nowhere to run
You were missing, yeah, you left me in the dark
You didnโฒt listen, you left me with a broken heart
You were missing, you let our souls drift far apart
I should've known it
You were missing, yeah, you left me in the dark
You didnโฒt listen, you left me with a broken heart
You were missing, you let our souls drift far apart
I shouldโฒve known it from the start
I should've known it
Shouldโฒve known it
You were missing, you let our souls drift far apart
I should've known it from the start
I shouldโฒve known it
You were missing
You were missing
You didn't listen
