Welsh beatmaker Don Leisure has cemented his name as one of the most forward thinking and experimental beatmakers & producers within the current musical ecosystem. As well as being 50% of Darkhouse Family (alongside Earl Jeffers) he has collaborated with the likes of Angel Bat Dawid, Gruff Rhys, DJ Spinna and First Word label-mates Amanda Whiting & Tyler Daley (Children of Zeus). Garnering serious support from Lauren Laverne, Tom Ravenscroft, Huw Stephens, Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan, The Vinyl Factory, Clash, Uncut and many more. A dedicated student of music, over the years Don has amassed a vast encyclopaedic knowledge of music genres and subcultures, including a fascination with Welsh psychedelic folk music from the mid-20th century. This introduction was made by respected musician, producer & selector Andy Votel’s 2005 two-part compilation series ‘Welsh Rare Beat’ (in collaboration with Gruff Rhys and Don Thomas), comprising twenty-five tracks from Sain Records’ back catalogue.

A shimmering patchwork quilt of sound, ‘Tychru Sain’ traverses a shifting landscape of acid folk, eerie vocal melodies and interstellar soundscapes, propelled forth by crisp, head nod inducing drums and grainy textures. Breathing new life into compositions lost to time, and paving a path for new listeners to discover the magic that lies within.

Caiff y cerddor, Don Leisure, ei gydnabod fel un o’r cynhyrchwyr a’r arbenigwyr bît mwyaf arbrofol a mentrus yn yr ecosystem gerddorol gyfredol. Mae’n un hanner o’r ddeuawd Darkhouse Family (gyda Earl Jeffers) ac mae wedi cydweithio gydag artistiaid megis Angel Bat Dawid, Gruff Rhys, DJ Spinna a’i gyd-gerddorion ar label First world, Amanda Whiting a Tyler Dayley (Children of Zeus). Mae hefyd wedi derbyn cefnogaeth a chlod gan Lauren Laverne, Tom Ravenscroft, Huw Stephens, Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan, The Vinyl Factory, Clash, Uncut ac eraill. Dros y blynyddoedd casglodd Don wybodaeth drylwyr a helaeth am gerddoriaeth o bob math o genres ac is-ddiwylliannau, yn arbennig felly cerddoriaeth werin seicadelig yn y Gymraeg a ryddhawyd yn ail hanner yr 20fed ganrif. Dechreuodd ei ddiddordeb yng ngherddoriaeth Cymru pan gyflwynodd y cerddor a’r cynhyrchydd cydnabyddedig, Andy Votel, y casgliad aml-gyfrannog ‘Welsh Rarebeat’ iddo – casgliad a ddetholwyd gan Votel, ar y cyd gyda Gruff Rhys a Don Thomas, o blith ôl-gatalog Sain, ac a ryddhawyd gyntaf yn 2005.

Yn gwrlid Cymreig o sain, mae ‘Tyrchu Sain’ yn croesi ffiniau rhwng gwerin acid, alawon sy’n cyffwrdd yr enaid a synau arallfydol, a’r cyfan yn cael ei yrru gan guriadau a gweadau anelwig. Gan roi bywyd newydd i gyfansoddiadau’r gorffennol dyma albym fydd yn agor y drws i wrandawyr newydd gael darganfod hud a swyn ein cerddoriaeth.
