Details: Chuck Love's day starts off with fighting parrots - a brawl the house multi-instrumentalist/producer/DJ would normally avoid if he didn't need their squawk on his record check out the album if you don’t believe it! Mr. Love then packs a suit case and boards the private jet he shares with 130 other people. Touchdown, sound-check before heading to the booth where the gratuitous head-bobbing begins and doesn't end until his guitars are unplugged, the roof was raised, and sub woofers smoldering. Then, before he knows it, he's back in the studio squabbling with the parrots again creating his smoking debut longplayer, "Bring Enough To Spill Some".
Love is not a typical house music maker - in fact, the dance music veteran didn't start off as most do with the bedroom DJ gear and gig here and there. While his contemporaries in Minneapolis expressed their love of the beat through DJ sets, Love would happily back them on trumpet, guitar, or anything else he could find - his shows at legendary night spot First Avenue becoming more packed each month. It's not that Love can't DJ or produce - au contraire. Released by Om Records - a label Love has followed for decades - "Bring Enough To Spill Some" is a 2-disc collection that demonstrates his special, stylistic diversity and ability to both mix a ridiculous set and produce tracks to showcase inside it.
Disc one features fourteen original, edited and remastered Love cuts, boasting collaborations with house siren DeMonica on the aptly titled "Spread The Love", Estaire Godinez on "Bailando", and longtime Twin Cities studio buddy Fourfeet on a handful of others. Followers of Love's chunky, fluid funk will immediately recognize his dancefloor slayer "Back In My Life", featuring Fourfeet on vocals and featured prominently on Miguel Migs' Salted Compilation in 2006. We should also not forget the blood, sweat and tears shed by the partytime parrots, which appear on Disc 2: “Giveitupsista" includes 'Flip the Bird' saying, 'C'mon!'," Love laughs. "He charged me $100 bucks and a month’s supply of pizza crust for that one."
Switching things up a bit, Disc two takes the listener through a selection of his finest remixes and choice cuts, showcasing some of Love's old favorites and new bangers - including Andy Caldwell's "Warrior,” Colette's "About Us," DJ Fluid's "Keep On," and Love's own "Funky-Ass Beat/Still Funky.”
”Bring Enough to Spill Some” is,overflowing with lyrical excitement and musical showmanship! In his own words, "This album has tracks from the last two years of the material that people have come to know…introducing downtempo and more minimal electronic production, infused with the soulful jazzy flavor that my music is based in. The challenge was to take my diverse musical background link it to my life long interest in electronic music and lock it down to the 4/4 house beat-mixed format."
Love says he's found a really good fit to do what he does from the DJ box, with a show that not only revolves around his own productions but also live solos with instruments and vocals, making the party just a little different from what house-heads usually see from their DJs. You'll really have to see him in action for yourself! From Om's Y Ultralounge party in Miami to Sydney to Hollywood – Chuck truly rocks every city and every crowd with his unique performances and blend of good time grooves…check the album!
