Leavs

I’m Leavs, a German beatmaker making groove-driven instrumental hip hop with roots in jazz, soul and the golden era of hip-hop. Punchy drums and a strong bassline anchor the sound, while vibey chords, analog textures and melodic details bring color, mood and movement. The tracks often feel tied to a place or a scene — a late-night ride through the city, an open landscape, or somewhere much further out. I like music that feels laid-back without standing still: warm and atmospheric, but always grounded in hip-hop. Along the way, I’ve released music with We Run This, Chillride Records, The Retune Project, Beatmology, Post Lofi Records and Lola, and worked with artists including Dom Zaruga, Spective, Rigid Moods, Cuezy. and Psylone. At the moment, I’m working on an EP with Cuezy and exploring a new project inspired by 70s library music.
