2014 saw Left/Right perform at Burning Man, SXSW, and Lights All Night festivals as well as producing his resident FUTURE art/music residency in Dallas, TX. He also released his acclaimed single Puzzle with a remix competition. In 2015 Left/Right will release more singles, several remixes, collaborations with Refracture and Trespass, and his forthcoming album T I M E.

I’m the head honcho of Barely Legal Records. 2014 has been awesome for us – a couple of Top 20 releases on Beatport and new signings and remixes from Beatslappaz, Wardian, Dom Almond, EvilBeat, and Adrenalinez. We also started up “Faultline” – San Francisco Bay Area’s only full-on Breaks monthly party at Lounge 3411 in Oakland, CA.
2015 looks to be just as good, if not better, for Barely Legal. Expect more original tracks from Adrenalinez as well as remixes from Geon, Wes Smith, Gulf Gate Project, discObeta, RuN RiOT, Sychosis, and more.
