As if it wasn't apparent by his moniker, Chuck Love reveals himself as something of a smooth dude when he sings. The Minneapolis-based artist, who is also a DJ and producer, found a natural home at San Francisco's Om Records for last year's debut double-disc Bring Enough to Spill Some.
He's not just a bedroom house producer; Love is both a remixer (recently for Colette, Jay West, and Troydon) and a one-man band. He plays several instruments (including keys, bass, guitar, flute, and trumpet), which gives him a much more full and real sound than many of his computer-twiddling cronies. His MySpace headline, as of this writing, is "I snuggle with subwoofers," which is simply hard to hate. And with his fairly ambitious WMC schedule planned, there's a lot of Love to go around.
