Exclusive Interview: Chuck Love

Exclusive Interview: Chuck LoveFunkyHouseMusic.com proudly presents this exclusive interview with one of the most exciting house music performers currently in the world. Not just an inspiration to house music and dance, but an inspiration to the art form of music in general. Enjoy this insightful dialogue with the one & only Chuck Love!

FHM: Please describe how it all began. Your love for music, instruments, and performance’if it’s possible, provide the readers of FunkyHouseMusic.com who aren’t as familiar with your history with a short synopsis of how you became the multi-talented artist you represent today.

CL: Wow. My history with music has been a long one indeed.
I started my fascination with music at a very early age, for some reason I just “got it.” I was able to pick out melodies on the piano, and sort out harmonies and sing them at an age where my parents, and teachers etc..were pretty amazed.
My strongest asset seems to be my ability to analyze what I hear and repeat it or add harmony.
This may describe why I have a thing for parrots!

FHM: What was it about house music that originally drew you to it?

CL: I first heard House music in the early-mid 80s when the world first heard it and the term was born.
I was interested in it then because I was recording electronic dance music, and House had a real “do it yourself” feel. Lots of samples, and crazy drum programs.
It was clear to me that this music was driven much more by the end-use dancefloor deployment, than some fancy studio, or some expensive producer’s take on what people should like.

It wasn’t until the late 90s that I purchased turntables and started spinning acid jazz, broken beat, atmospheric rrum and bass, etc. The final piece of the puzzle was the CDJ-1000 which I adopted immediately as a mechanism to play my own productions, and I started making tracks that were more about the beatmixed 4/4 house music format that we know, and my productions and DJing evolved in that direction.
