Real name / Luke Johnson
First making a name for himself from around 2008 within Manchester’s underground free party scene, playing for soundsystems such as GASHcollective, Daylite Robbery & Neuron – Leadbelly soon caught the attention of local promoters who attended these raves now and again.
Looking back over the past 4 years, Leadbelly has held numerous residencies for nights across the city as well as being booked to play in such places like Amsterdam, London (FabricLive), Leeds, Wigan and Wales to name a few.
His latest residency resides with Project 13 – a relatively new night on the Manchester scene but one that has already been successful and is set to cement its name into the bass music scene in the following year, much like the intentions of Leadbelly.
Production is now Luke’s main focus, having already given away a free E.P with tracks that have had support from local Mancunion heavyweights such as Chimpo, Chunky, Dirtklod & The Steppahs…it is only a matter of time before Luke’s music is heard by the wider spectrum of bass music fans....
