LF System
LF System are a Scottish production duo consisting of Conor Larkman and Sean Finnigan.[1] They are from West Lothian and previously worked as a roofer and petrol station worker.[2]
They topped the UK Singles Chart in July 2022 with "Afraid to Feel",[3] which was also certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[4] This song is based on "I Can't Stop (Turning You On)" from 1970s soul band Silk's album Midnight Dancer,[5] 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.[6][7]
