DT769 – Pirate Copy

When you’re entering your second decade as a revered DJ and Producer, some might begin to take their foot off the gas a little, admire what they’ve achieved and feel satisfied… Not, however, if your name is Lee Spence aka Pirate Copy.

As like artistes the world over, Lee’s been taking the opportunity to knuckle down in the studio over the last 12 months and alongside presenting the hugely popular weekly Kaluki radio show, which is broadcast in 47 countries, he’s been crafting his very own artiste album. Here, you’ll find him exploring those 20 years’ experience and creating something completely him – a sound that reflects his adventure through house, techno and minimal to conjure up a melting pot of what he does best.

Kaluki Music head Pirate Copy makes a long-awaited debut on Hot Creations this November with the three-track ‘You Need It’. Collaborating with rising vocalist Hattie Snooks, the release includes two remixes courtesy of US legend Harry Romero and Spanish mainstay Miane.

“It’s a huge honour for me to make my debut on Hot Creations, a label I have admired since the very beginning. This track started as a studio jam during a dark winter in lockdown. I sent Hattie the dub, she wrote and sang the perfect vocal, then I sent JJ a personal message. He came straight back to say he was feeling it… and the rest is history!” – Pirate Copy.

“It’s been a total joy working with both Pirate Copy and Hot Creations. The track has such a mesmeric quality and it conjured scenes in my head of a captivating but dangerous woman on the dancefloor – someone, otherworldly and lost in dance, enchanting the crowd on the dancefloor around her.” – Hattie Snooks
