La Valigetta

We’re sincerly happy to release, after a friendship of years, this ep by Chicago based Lee aka GHOSTS OF VENICE.

After his previous music released by Hed Kandi, Dust Traxx and Strictly Rhythm he’s back with this 2-tracks ep: the gorgeous title-track My Love (ft. Josh Jakq) and the smooth b-side High Fives and 909s (ft. Alec Carlsson).

Tracks are atm supported and spinned by Steve Aoki, Treasure Fingers, Don Rimini, Goldroom, Moon Boots, Bit Funk, Sammy Bananas, Dj Dan, Grum, Dj Mes, Solidisco, Acid Washed & lots of others

Having burst onto the House scene in late 2009 with remixes for the likes of Grum, James Talk and Ridney, Leeds UK based Ghosts Of Venice, aka Lee Dunn, has been working away on his own unique brand of filtered disco house. He has become known for his energetic DJ sets as well as his stripped down style of production.

His music has been widely supported by the likes of Alex Metric, Grum, Tommie Sunshine, Andy George & Jaymo, His Majesty Andre and even house legends like Patrick Alavi, Todd Edwards & Derrick Carter. Fast forward a year and his tracks have already been picked up by the likes of Hed Kandi, Dust Traxx and Strictly Rhythm, the label which will be home to his first big UK single ‘Without You’ featuring Errol Reid.

“Ghosts of Venice is the solo brainchild of Leeds producer Lee Dunn, and under the moniker he’s been nothing short of awesome, remixing and re-editing some unexpected tunes (Janet Jackson and Shakira to name a couple) into nu-disco bangers that rip right through any dance floor.” – Chicagoist

The Uprising ep is the 1st official release from Guillaume and Violette, a talented French duo called RISE & FOOL.
They developed their funk-oriented sound in recent months remixing tracks from Lana del Rey, Zedd, Alex Metric and Louis La Roche.

The release includes a synth-pop single called Toy Boy and Jail Cell a more dancefloor-oriented track.
The pack also includes 3 different versions of Toy Boy remixed by the hyped french producer LE CRAYON (Kitsunè), the legendary belgian duo THE GLIMMERS (!K7-Fabric-Eskimo) and the german project SAINT PAULI (Tuffem Up!).

Here’s the official video of Toy Boy, by Caio Zini via Funky Panda & Dance Like Shaquille O’Neal:

Early support comes from Don Rimini, Moullinex, Jerry Bouthier, Cassian, Cosmonauts, Sammy Bananas, Taku Takahashi, La Zebra, Ridney, Spiller, Acid Washed & lots of others.
