LF System are a dance music production duo from West Lothian, Scotland, consisting of Conor Larkman and Sean Finnigan.[1] They are best known for their 2022 hit single "Afraid to Feel".

Larkman and Finnigan previously worked as a roofer and petrol station worker.[2] "Afraid to Feel", their third single, topped the UK Singles Chart in July 2022,[3] and was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[4] The track is based on "I Can't Stop (Turning You On)" by 1970s Philadelphia soul band Silk, from their 1979 album Midnight Dancer,[5] with vocals by Louise Clare Marshall both sped-up and slowed down from the original release.

Prior to this number one, they released the track "Dancing ClichΓ©", 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]
