The debate of nature vs. nurture seems like an unsolvable intellectual debacle, but if any musician could whole-heartedly embody both sides of the argument, it’s gotta be UK-based producer Lee Dunn. You might know him as Ghosts of Venice.
INTERVIEW: GHOSTS OF VENICE
The debate of nature vs. nurture seems like an unsolvable intellectual debacle, but if any musician could whole-heartedly embody both sides of the argument, it’s gotta be UK-based producer Lee Dunn. You might know him as Ghosts of Venice.
Dunn grew up surrounded by house and disco, nurtured by four-on-the-floor rhythms and dance music. His stripped-down style leans heavily toward disco, a sound he created while working on the Chicago House label he started with Garrett Shrigley, Second City Recordings.
Remixing the likes of Grum, James Talk, and Ridney and releasing tracks on labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Defected, and Guest House are all huge feats for a producer in his early 20s, kind of like how huge Sweet Shop and CreateSpace’s booking of such a forward-thinking artist for this Saturday night at Good Life is. Not to mention Ghosts of Venice seemed pretty keen on making an appearance at Dancing on the Block beforehand. Here’s what Dunn had to say on iChat to CoWaBunga182 (my unfortunate screenname from sixth grade).
Hi Lee, we’re very excited to have you in
