PRESSPLAY

Formerly Chilli Guerrea

About Me

Formerly known as Chilli Guerrea, Pressplay is the programming alter-ego of Andy Prentice, a Leeds based Producer/ Bass player. Born out of a background in jazz, funk and a CD collection in which anything goes, Pressplay is the fresh sound in the Leeds music scene. Combining early 90s Trip hop, tight programming and live musicians with a modern electro-beat edge, its music that needs to be listened to.

Dark, brooding beats and lush synths combine down-tempo, electronic elements with live Rhodes, Guitars and soaring vocals. Sit back and enjoy good music and intelligent production from Leeds' freshest export.
