24 Hr Sports
Leon Michels has quietly become one of the most sought-after producers in music. His signature sound has caught the attention of the mainstream while continuing to inspire the underground. Since 2023âs El Michels Affair and Black Thought album Glorious Game, Michels has been busy producing records for other artists; Norah Jonesâ Grammy winning Visions, Clairoâs Grammy nominated Charm, Kali Uchisâ Moonlight, as well as albums for labelmates Brainstory, Derya Yıldırım and Grup ĆimĆek, Thee Heart Tones, and Liam Bailey. His new album 24 Hr Sports marks the highly anticipated return to recording under his own moniker, El Michels Affair.
24 Hr Sports was inspired by the fashion and graphic design of â80s & â90s Sports Illustrated magazines, MF DOOMâs Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used on them, and gospel music a la Pastor T.L. Barrett. The sum of those influences with Michelsâ impeccable creative touch prove to be the recipe for an instant classic that will surely be one of the most heralded releases of 2025.
Features Clairo, Norah Jones, Shintaro Sakamoto, Florence Adooni, RogĂȘ, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Dave Guy
