Golden Gate is a new disco and house project from Leeds, UK whose debut ‘Enter The Golden Gate’ EP on the world renowned Disco Express label. United by a love for Masters at Work’s Nuyorican Soul project, DJ/producer Tee Cooper and songwriter/vocalist Harper Lake classic house and disco, played live, produced for the dance floor. Their 'Enter The Golden Gate EP' gained over 200K streams and incredible support from Skream, Laurent Garnier, Danny Krivit, Mousse T, BBC Radio 1, Hedkandi, Horse Meat Disco, Birdee, Fred Everything, Ken@Work, Discoholics Anonymous, Norman Doray, Javi Frias, Young Pulse, Da Lukas, Reach Up Disco Wonderland and Sophie Lloyd and many more. Live they have already performed at Wilderness, Glastonbury, Hootenanny, Jazz Cafe and many more.

“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.”

Live and in the studio their work features a truly international cast of musicians: including Adeleye Omotayo of The Gorillaz/Amy Winehouse on vocals and forthcoming tracks with Jessie Wagner (Nile Rogers/Chic),  the legendary Inaya Day (Mousse T/Strictly Rhythm). Bass is all played by legendary dub, reggae and disco bassist Dubsworth recorded in his studio in LA, horns and flutes are played by rising star of Blue Note Records Parthenope and keys come from another London jazz up and comer Tom O’Brien. Guitars are Gary Haguenauer in Paris and Rich Jevons in Leeds known for his work with Tavares and many other classic disco acts. Everything was either recorded in the studio in Leeds or remotely in studios round the world.

The band’s mission is to make disco and house music with real instruments and real people, inspired by the old but sounding new. Hedonistic, positive music for hard times, 2025 is the year to hit the dance floor and enter the Golden Gate.

Rooted in the rolling hills of Yorkshire, Ireland and Spain, this emerging UK Americana artist brings an authentic approach to UK Americana. Raised on a working horse farm, she offers a truly authentic sound that weaves a line between the classic country traditions of Emmy Lou Harris and emotive storytelling of Jason Isbell.

With her debut single generating over 10,000 YouTube streams, she's quickly catching the attention of the UK Americana scene. Collaborating with top-tier producers and musicians – including 2 x Country No1 producer Dan Mizen and 4 x Grammy winning Chris Wilkinson, who brings a decade of experience from Jack White's iconic Third Man Records in Nashville – she's crafting a sound that's both familiar and refreshingly original.

A gifted lyricist, Maggie May crafts songs that dive deep into heartbreak while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. Her rich and captivating vocals affect healing and emotion in the audience as she uses her rare ability to turn vulnerability into anthems of survival.

Steeped in the musical heritage of Irish folk and American Roots, her songwriting draws from a deep well of rural experience – as comfortable on horseback as she is on stage. Her English, Irish and Spanish roots infuse each song with a unique perspective, blending American musical traditions with the grit and authenticity of a classic folk storyteller.

**Dj/Reviewer for passion:** presenter of TOP TEN mix Show on Capitaldisko radio every Saturday 

Il mio percorso nella musica inizia 38 anni fa, quando ho scoperto la mia passione per il mondo del DJing. Fin da allora, ho dedicato la mia vita a esplorare e condividere la bellezza della musica con gli altri. La mia avventura nel settore mi ha portato grazie a Mike Belmondo e Dj Paul a diventare un reviewer e collaboratore per Capitaldisko, un'importante piattaforma dedicata alla musica Soulful/Deep/funk-disco/ Nu-Disco 

Nel corso degli anni, ho affinato le mie abilità nel cercare brani originali e vecchi sample per creare un ponte tra il passato e il presente della musica moderna. Amo immergermi nelle profondità della storia musicale, scoprendo gemme nascoste e tracce dimenticate che possono arricchire le nuove generazioni e coinvolgerli in un viaggio unico.

La mia passione per il DJing continua a guidarmi, spingendomi a esplorare sempre nuovi orizzonti sonori e a condividere la mia visione della musica con il mondo.
