Golden Gate

Golden Gate is a live disco and house project from Leeds UK with a collective musicians from around the world. United by a love for Masters at Work and Nuyorican Soul, DJ/producer Tee Cooper and songwriter Harper Lake classic house and disco, played live, produced for the dance floor with a host of killer musicians and vocalists. “Nuyorican Soul is definitely where the spark of inspiration came from,” Tee says, “we both absolutely love that LP. We usually write the songs as a duo and then bring in musicians to build them out with us, so our other main influences are two of the best songwriting duos Nile Rogers and Bernie Edwards from Chic and Ashford and Simpson. They both made music with depth and emotion in the lyrics but it always managed to have dancefloor energy and movement in the production. That’s the music we want to make.” Support from: BBC Radio Introducing, Mousse T, Francois K, Skream, Danny Krivit, Severino, Hedkandi, Birdee, Ken@Work, Discoholics Anonymous, Norman Doray, Javi Frias, Young Pulse, Da Lukas, Reach Up Disco Wonderland and Sophie Lloyd. The band’s mission is to make disco and house music with real instruments and real people, inspired by the old but sounding new. 2025 is the year to enter the Golden Gate.
