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 2023s El Michels Affair & Black Thought album Glorious Game, Michels has been busy producing records for other artists; Norah Jones Grammy winning Visions, Clairos Grammy nominated Charm, Kali Uchis Moonlight, as well as albums for labelmates Brainstory, Derya Yldrm & Grup imek, 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 80s & 90s Sports Illustrated magazines, MF DOOMs Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used on them, and gospel music a la Pastor T.L. Barrett. The sum of those influences with Michels impeccable creative touch prove to be the recipe for an instant classic that will surely be one of the most heralded releases of 2025.
