leon joins factory 93 with peak-hour house track
Leon has officially joined the Factory 93 roster with his latest single The Snake, out July 18, 2025. The release has already been making waves after Chris Stussy played it during his Coachella set at the Yuma tent, sparking early interest from DJs and dance floors around the world. For longtime fans of Leon’s raw, groove-driven approach to house, this track delivers exactly what they’ve come to expect: tight, swung drums, chunky low-end movement, and a clear nod to classic New York house.

Known for past releases on Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels, and Hot Creations, Leon has built a reputation over the last decade for DJ sets that balance minimal tech house structure with rhythmic attitude. The Snake is a continuation of that approach, but filtered through a distinctly West Coast lens thanks to its release on Factory 93. For a label that’s defined LA’s underground aesthetic, this collaboration feels like a natural match.
Classic House Energy With a Modern Pulse
From the first few bars, The Snake leads with a slap-heavy bassline that pushes the groove forward. The drums are snappy and percussive, full of swing and syncopation, giving the track a live, driving feel. Layered on top are hazy vocal chops—treated more like rhythmic instruments than leads—sitting back in the mix to create tension without pulling focus.
Leon’s use of space and texture is what gives The Snake its club appeal. Nothing feels cluttered, but the groove stays locked for the duration. The arrangement leans into classic house tropes without leaning on nostalgia. Instead, it feels current, sharp, and functional. This is the kind of track that can fill the middle hour of a peak-time set—subtle enough to mix long, but catchy enough to move a room.
Leon’s Factory 93 Debut Marks a High-Functioning Club Tool With Legacy Influence
Leon’s background as a resident at Cocoricò and a fixture at Music On events has always informed his production. He pulls from classic Todd Terry influences while working within the modern toolkit of minimal tech house. That hybrid is on full display here, where the track lives at the intersection of European tech sensibilities and New York house tradition.
The track marks a strong debut on Factory 93, a label that has recently opened its doors to more global voices while keeping its identity rooted in dancefloor functionality. The Snake isn’t an experimental risk or genre-bender—it’s a polished, efficient club track from a producer who knows exactly how to read a floor. That kind of discipline rarely misses.
