Leon Switch

With a career spanning 20 years and a backlog of releases, Leon has been busy, to say the least. Stemming from a musical background, he specialised in lead guitar and spent most of his teenage years in bands performing anything from Heavy Metal to 60's-70's Rock'n'Roll. In 1998 his debut release appeared on Unkut Recordings. 2002 saw the birth of Defcom Records along with the partnership of Kryptic Minds. With releases on Metalheadz, Frequency, Freak, Monitor or Penetration, he had recorded and remixed for some of the scene’s true pioneers. 2007 was to see his debut album ‘Lost all Faith’. 2008/9 and a change of tempo and name pushed him into the limelight. Kryptic Minds released on Swamp81 and international touring started - reaching places as far as New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Moscow, Siberia and nearly all of Europe. The releases continued on Tectonic and Osiris Music UK and Black Box. In 2013 Hollywood's Elysium featured ‘Six Degrees’ in the film, then the ‘Namaste EP’ got released and ‘Badman VIP’ hit the shelves. 2014 saw him branch out on his own again and sign to the legendary Chestplate. In 2018 he toured across America & Europe, joined Education & Bass and 808 Music School. A year later he started Kuro Records alongside Kelly Dean & Kwizma as NoTaN. In 2020 he composed the OST for ‘Distortion’ VR and released the ‘Box Clever EP’ feat. Alys Be & Flipz MC on Kuro. In 2021 his ‘Gask Mask’ single appeared on Dungeon Beats’ Volume 1 V/A Cassette Compilation.
