Catapult / Spiral by LTF
Being hit in the head by a full-speed Transsiberian train of horns on a silky roller coaster, and ask for more... this is the impression made when you listen to the new LTF 45, the third on BMM Records. Always backed by old-fashioned groove, manipulated with the help of his favorite sampler, his double bass, and old soviet synths, Anton’s music takes us to an era, that we believed to be definitely lost, chic and exciting funk that gives ants in the legs and glitter in the head.
On “Catapult” and “Spiral” we are witnessing a form of revival of the great hours of acid jazz, tinged with shadows of Boulevard Saint-Germain, about to hit the Kremlin doors. Swing it on your turntable as soon as possible and listen in loops!

Hip hop’s influence has permeated territories far removed from its Bronx origins, spawning creative and surprising fusions that strengthen the art form’s global reach. Case in point: Anton Ivanchenko, residing in the southwestern Siberian city of Omsk, has been obsessed with funk, hip-hop, and b-boy culture since the ‘90s.
