Legendary producer Dave Lee returns as AC Soul Symphony with Metamorphosis -- his most ambitious production project in his 35-year career. With an inimitable CV and discography that includes over a thousand production credits to his name, hundreds of singles under renowned pseudonyms including Joey Negro, and three UK top 40 hits as Jakatta, Dave Lee is one of the UK's most revered producers of disco and house music, defining each genre with a signature sound. Always looking to push the boundaries of what it means to make music, his latest project sees Dave return to one of his lesser-known pseudonyms -- AC Soul Symphony -- to deliver an epic disco record that takes the sound back to its roots in every way possible. Comprising 15 beautifully arranged disco tracks that effortlessly span almost two hours, Metamorphosis is an album by definition, but at its core, much more than that -- it is a labor of love, meticulously composed, arranged and crafted through a very tangible and human creative process which is unmatched by many modern producers. Inspired by happy memories from the golden era of TV and the soundtracks of his favorite childhood shows, Metamorphosis was borne of a desire to put the strings center stage and recreate the same analogue sounds that brought instrumental albums by Love Unlimited, MFSB, and Salsoul Orchestra to life. Taking disco back to a physical place, Metamorphosis was an organic writing process that saw Dave lay down his ideas digitally, before reshaping the MIDI strings into a proper arrangement and recording them live with a 20-piece orchestra at RAK Studios. By his own admission, it is an album of pure indulgence, but by relying on digital production methods, it can be easy to lose sight of the soul that makes music such a unifying entity. Backing up the immaculate strings with catchy vocals and enough groove to level a discotheque, it's this soulful energy that Dave has captured and expertly delivered with Metamorphosis.
