about

Leska is the meeting of two complementary artistic sensitivities, those of the two French producers, Marc Mifune and Thomas Lucas, aka Les Gordon and Douchka.

Trained cellist who spent several years at the conservatory and self taught multi-instrumentalist, Les Gordon quickly began to produce with several EPs released on Kitsuné. The last two EPs, Atlas (2015) and Abyss (2016), caught the attention of many and gave him the opportunity to open Fauve’s Tour.

Thomas made his first steps into the music world as a Dj before beginning to produce. He quickly drawn the attention with a selection for the 2015 Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo, followed by his signature on Nowadays Records and three EPs releases, Joyful (2015), Together (2016) and Infantile (2017).
Thanks to an opening act for La Fine Equipe, he met Marc Mifune and the rest belongs to history.

The two producers then decided to unite for the best and only the best under the name of Leska. Started in 2015, this is more than a simple side project. Leska is above all things a lab where the two bros like to experiment with freedom, following their instincts without setting any borders to their universe.

This freedom inhabits the six tracks of Circles, making it elusive sometimes. However, they’re always humbly looking at a great and beautiful ambition: to renovate the word Pop, stretching its lines and shades and imagining new ways to define it.
The result is a hybrid musical object with multiple facets, electronic in its flesh and plural in its moods. Circles is haunted by Motown’s ghosts (“L&H”), townships fever (“Welcome To Mandela”) and sublimate by “I Got You”, a hit featuring the voice of Carla Fonseca (Batuk) that already sounds like a classic. A collaboration of choice that perfectly illustrate the will of a band that knows what it wants and where it wants to go, as the children voice samples in “Welcome To Mandela” or the visuals designed for the live performances illustrate it, because Circles is an experience that has to be lived on its own.

On stage, Marc and Thomas play all the instruments (guitars, cello, drums).
Thanks to a clever set up creating a triangle drawn between the two producers and their public, the sincere complicity that connects Marc and Thomas is palpable. This is the moment where Leska comes into full play, celebrating art with a capital A through a project caring about the human above all.
