LF System

at The Great Northern (9:30pm - 2am)
LF SYSTEM's 'Afraid To Feel' is quickly becoming the sound of the summer. After spending three weeks in the UK Top 5, the track has now spent four weeks at #1 making it the first UK dance chart-topper since Joel Corry's 'Head & Heart' in 2020. It has already exceeded 30 million streams and has been certified Silver, while Gold status is well within reach.

Blending modernist disco vibes, towering soul vocals playfully reworked from Silk's 1979 single 'I Can't Stop (Turning You On)' and classic piano house keys, 'Afraid To Feel' was generating steam long before its official release. It first took off with tastemaker support from Jamie Jones, LP Gioppi, Noizu and more, before becoming an airplay smash, which commenced when it was named as Clara Amfo's Hottest Record on Radio 1's Future Sounds. It has been a major airplay hit ever since, first being named as Radio 1's Tune of the Week and then enjoying an extended run on Radio 1's A-list, and becoming the most played track at Radio 1, Kiss FM and Capital. 'Afraid To Feel' subsequently translated to TikTok too with millions of video views.

The success of LF SYSTEM has played a significant part in the current resurgence of the Scottish music scene. 'Afraid To Feel' reached #1 on the same day that Paolo Nutini topped the album charts with 'Last Night in The Bittersweet' -- a moment that Lewis Capaldi celebrated during his headline show at Glasgow's TRNSMT.

LF SYSTEM commented, "Just over two years ago we played our first show as LF SYSTEM, and just over two months ago we were still working our day jobs. And now we have the first UK #1 dance single since Joel Corry two years ago. No idea how we've gone from releasing disco edits on SoundCloud years to battling it out with Harry Styles, George Ezra, Beyoncé and Kate Bush. Thanks again to everybody who's shown support and love towards us and our music. We will never forget this."

LF System are a Scottish production duo consisting of Conor Larkman and Sean Finnigan. They are from West Lothian and previously worked as a roofer and petrol station worker.

They topped the UK Singles Chart in July 2022 with "Afraid to Feel", which was also certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. This song is based on "I Can't Stop (Turning You On)" from 1970s soul band Silk's album Midnight Dancer, with vocals by Louise Clare Marshall both sped-up and slowed down from the original Philly release.

Prior to this number one, they released the track "Dancing Cliché", which was based on a 1981 soul track written by Luther Vandross called "Party People", which was released by the Harlem funk group the Main Ingredient featuring Cuba Gooding. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LF_System
