About Me
Chuck Love Has found his calling. Behind the decks, and the microphone where the groove is musical and solid. Good vibes flow out of the HI-FI as infectious hooks float, smoky chords punch, and solos fly, in this sensitive yet effective beat-down for your head, your soul, and your rump.Chuck was born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota where music found him at a very early age. he displayed the spooky ability to pick out melodies and play them back on the piano as early as age 3. His ear abilities had him correcting his second grade music teacher when her arrangements were over simplified, and encouraged her to "play this chord like they do on the record" The sixth grade band director would shake his head in disapproval, or disbelief when Chuck would fill in the "cool parts" that weren't on the page, and subsequently he never learned to read music.First track out of the box is Nymphonix "Off My Mind" with vocalist Andra Suchy This track caught the attention of Bryan Gerrard and David Drone. These two Minneapolis taste makers released it on their Celebrity records imprint with mixes by the DeeGees, and Jay-J. This coincided with Chuck's first trip to Miami for the Winter Music Conference. "Miami was a real eye-opener. The combination of sun, sand, and sub-woofers was an education how to "get it done". It was mind bending to see the world's best talent, and biggest fans converging in such a perfect setting" says Love. Nymphonix would follow-up with "Arms Around You" on Celebrity which featured reworks by Bryan Gerrard and Andy Caldwell.When Monte Hilleman, another Minnepolis soul head launched Vino Recordings, Chuck was tapped. First as instrumentalist on "Raindrops" Feat. DeMonica Followed by the first Chuck Love solo EP. "Take Me" and "Close Enough" The wax featured mixes by Monte and Jask, and stormed the DJ mag hype chart to ..13.Chuck Love "Frozen in Minneapolis EP" released on Miguel Migs' Salted Music imprint presented 3 original mixes. "Spread The Love" feat. DeMonica, El Divorcee', and "Back in my Life" with vocalist and songwriter FOURFEET. (AKA Justin Thompson).Support from the likes of Migs, Kaskade, Heather, Fred Everything, Hardsoul, Jay-J, Julius Papp, MFR, Groove Junkies, and Marques Wyatt. made "Back in My Life" one of the most unavoidable tracks of WMC 2005.Now you're sure to find Chuck behind the decks juggling vocals, guitar, flute, sawed-off black trumpet, percussion, and that weird little keyboard thingy with the hookah hose on it, bumping through a largely original set that runs from lush chords and organic textures to straight up speaker freakin' electro-thump. You have never seen anything like this DJ/Live alchemy, and your fist will pump as you realize that there's a truck load of soul, funk, fire, and Love packed into that skinny white dude.
