Leko is currently working with Segway and Dub Nation's Smash Gordon on projects for release on Dieselboy's "Subhuman" label.

Additionally, an unlikely partnership that has blossomed into a full-on production blitz has been Leko's teaming with former techno maverick and current fidget maximal house king Bryan Cox on his Crux imprint. Leko joined the Crux Da House crew and has released remixes of legendary tracks like Human Resource - Dominator, and Robbie Tronco - Walk For Me, in addition to mixes for Italy's Gigi Barocco, Chicago's Justin James, Holland's Mightyfools, and UK's Jay Robinson.

Another Leko collaboration with Nashville electro-rockers Sanchez & the Shockers (a.k.a. Noisefloor / Bag Lady) features remixes by Aquilaganja and the legendary Charles Feelgood. The Feelgood remix is being licensed by Leko's Tharsis Records imprint for compilation to appear on Moist Music and has appeared on several promotional videos.

Leko also has releases on New York labels Kult and Digiprana, and his remix of "Love Letters", by Armada Music vocalist Marcie Joy, is out now on Infrasonic Recordings.

Recent History:

Upon Leko's return to the USA from a tour in the Caribbean in February of 2006, he began assembling an extensive distribution network for his imprint upstart "Tharsis Records". Among his first releases on Tharsis was "Survive", the Original Mix of which garnered significant attention from the leaders of the breakbeat community, including Uberzone, Hybrid, Drumattic Twins, and Dopamine. "Survive" went almost immediately into rotation internationally on "The System" (WorldSpace Satellite Radio, formerly XM Satellite Radio channel 82, DirecTV channel 860, and AOL Music).

Leko's follow-up work included his Beatport Top 100 progressive hit EP "Conscious Mind". After a global remix competition for "Conscious Mind", sponsored by Sony Music on AcidPlanet.com, Leko added professional remixes by Noel Sanger and Romania's Hy2RoGeN to the top 3 entries of the 126 remixes submitted for the release. The Noel Sanger remix first caught the attention of Matt Darey, appearing on his globally syndicated mix show "Nocturnal" 3 times (episode #174, Nocturnal Sunshine #34, and Nocturnal Sunshine #42). From there, two remixes of "Conscious Mind" were added to rotation on Energy 105.1FM Toronto. Additionally, the original breaks mix is supported by Uberzone, and is recurrent on 91.1FM Nashville.

Leko again appeared on Matt Darey Nocturnal #190 with the EP "Drip", played in the guest mix by Dave Dresden, of Gabriel & Dresden, Motorcycle, and Dresden & Johnston. Drip also appears in hour 1 of Dave Dresden's February promo mix.

Additional airplay for Leko's "Break Your Computer", "Drip (Original Mix)", "Survive (Original Mix)", and "Conscious Mind (Original Mix)" includes regular spins on 91.5FM WPRK Orlando's "Cryptic FM" breaks show, with "Break Your Computer" among the most requested songs of the program.

Leko also began recording with Nashville's Hilary Williams, pop singer and daughter of country music legend Hank Williams, Jr. Their debut collaboration, "Sign of Life", written about Hilary's near-death auto accident with sister Holly, has received significant national media attention, and was coveted for airplay on Alan Freed's "BPM Project" show on XM Satllite Radio channel 81 BPM during its first round of promotions. This single is being re-worked, and will accompany the release of Hilary's book of the same title.

Among Leko's notable tour stops were shows in San Antonio, TX, Phoenix, AZ, and Miami, FL. The San Antonio show at Club NV was scheduled only two weeks in advance, and was sold out to full capacity, with Leko performing a three-hour set of electro, tribal, and progressive house. Leko's 2009 show at the desert rave "Mayday Massive" with Uberzone vs Bassbin Twins was among the highlights of his lengthy DJ career.

Leko's performance for the Culture Thursdays party at Soho Lounge, Miami garnered the attention of executives at 107.1FM VybeRadio Miami, who invited Leko to become a resident DJ with a weekly on-air mix show in their peak listener hours of Friday evening drive time (5pm to 7pm). The 'Orion Spur Dance Party' immediately became Miami's most popular mix show, gaining the attention of world-famous DJ's including David Guetta, Chris Lake, Chris Fortier, Uberzone, Christopher Lawrence, Judge Jules, Robbie Rivera, James Zabiela, Starkillers (Nick Terranova), Austin Leeds, Bryan Cox, Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), Jen Lasher, DJ Chus (of Chus & Ceballos), Elite Force, Aquasky, General Midi, Deepsky, Charles Feelgood, and Miles Dyson, all of whom have appeared as guests on Leko's show or were scheduled to appear.

Leko's Miami influence led to his scheduled appearance at the Official Winter Music Conference Closing Party at the world-famous Pawn Shop with DJ Keoki, Donald Glaude, Miss Lisa, and DJ Diamond, which sold out to its 1,200 person capacity. Follow up shows in Miami included another sold out performance at Pawn Shop with Austin Leeds, which turned into a 13-hour party spanning two venues when it spilled over to the after-hours at Area 51's Discotekka.

Leko's radio success took him immediately to the national and international airwaves on both Sirius and XM Satellite Radio with appearances on "Hardwired", a Detroit-style techno mix show on XM-80 - The Move, and the "Saturday Night Out" overnight mix show on Sirius 109 OutQ. In 2008, Leko was invited to appear on Ekaterinberg, Russia's Radio SK, 90.2FM in the guest slot previously held by Dave Dresden, Miika Kuisma, Menno de Jong, Above & Beyond, Ronski Speed, Filterheadz, Kyau & Albert, and Alexey Sonar.

In addition to Leko's long tenure on 107.1FM VybeRadio Miami, other terrestrial radio appearances include DigiPrana Sounds on 90.3FM New York City and "Spotlight" on 97.3FM Richmond, VA.
