Recent Mix: http://soundcloud.com/r_co/lee-curt...ast-august-2010
Over the last two years Lee Curtiss has made a name for himself creating primal, exquisitely deep and emotional dance tracks that pulse with life, sex, and humour, incorporating countless influences and genres but beholden to none. With his broad shoulders, even wider grin and keen sense of humour, Lee may give off the straight-shooting air of a Midwestern woodsman, but he’s got the ear, plain and simple. Lee Curtiss is an eccentric, an original, an innovator, a ten-year veteran of the electronic-music scene. His love of his craft shines through in his tracks’ every bump and shudder. From last year’s Visionquest remix of Kiki’s ‘Good Voodoo’, sighted by many as the underground smash of the year, to his ‘Black Door EP’ on Spectral (Mixmag’s techno ‘Tune of the Month’, October 09), Lee has an innate ability to create instantly memorable lead riffs that will stand the test of time.
Lee grew up in Western Michigan and eventually moved to Detroit, living the guitars-to-turntables, concerts-to-underground-parties arc shared by so many other children of the electronic music revolution. The similarities end there though. Lee displayed an immediate knack and passion for dance music that translated his love of Prince, Quincy Jones, and good old underground disco into a production and DJ style noted for its sensuality and effortlessness. Recently back in Detroit after an extended stay in Berlin (where he swapped ideas and lived with his close friends and partners-in-crime Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson and Shaun Reeves), Lee continues to produce vital releases and remixes on labels including Spectral Sound, Get Physical, Dumb-Unit, Wolf+Lamb, Esperanza, and Mothership, and play DJ gigs the world over.
Lee’s previous trans-Atlantic tours have seen him play at some of Europe’s most important clubbing institutions including, Fabric in London, Watergate in Berlin, City Fox in Zurich, Kiss Klub in Nurnberg and the UK’s Bloc Weekender Festival. He tore up the Toilets in East London for Kubicle, supported long standing friends Wolf+Lamb in Paris and look his, as Resident Advisor described it, ‘libidinous tech funk’ to Bristol, Leeds, Cardiff and Aberdeen.
Lee’s live debut at Fabric earlier this year was met with universal praise and Matthew Dear was so impressed with his live show at the Spectral party at the Miami WMC that, he immediately invited Lee to join him as the live face of Spectral Sound, touring alongside Matt over the coming months. In June Lee is set to follow up his Beatport chart topping ‘Love In The Key of Freak’ EP on Get Physical with ‘I Can Hear You Arthur’, his tribute to Arthur Russel on Guy Gerber’s Supplemental Facts label which is set to be one of the summer’s biggest underground anthems.

| I've heard many times that his mixing in clubs sucks (probably due to alcohol, who knows), but the tracks he plays are sick. |

I'll be there. The next couple of months look pretty neat; Curtiss, Droog in February, Kate Simko in March, etc.
And Sam, his mixing was okay the last time I saw him. Nothing to call home about, but decent enough and the tracks were great. Not to mention that he's one fun mother fucker to party with. |

I love how Atlanta transforms fully into Techno Town when you show up, Jake. :p
We always had good stuff coming through with Cleaning Up The Dirty South, but now with Cardio (some of the same people actually), it's coming with a steady and now successful pace. :) |

I was getting serious cabin fever for a while. I miss being in a city with bigger shows going on every weekend. :( |

Right now is probably the best Atlanta has ever been since I've started going out. Just wish there was more berghain rape techno.
But yeah, I'll be at this. Lee was soliddd in Miami. |

| I'm totally down for making this happen. I've had cabin fever for a while now ever since school consumed my entire life. This degree better be worth it... |

Well nah, I haven't been going to shows. But I've been in Atlanta. And you have my number. And I even facebook'd you recently.
I feel cheap, Jake, that's all I'm saying.
Cheap, and meek, and covered in a thin layer of fuzz and miasma.
Oh my asthma. |
