bio:

Lovesky is somewhat of an anomaly in the world of electronic music
.
Originally a member of the moody, shoe-gaze, drone band The Veldt,
Michael Simone realized his contrasting passion for diverse musical concepts in the late 90’s. Making a trip to London to record his first solo, singer/songwriter recordings at the Cocteau Twins’ September Sound Studios, Michael was struck sharply by the variety of sounds and influences he found while exploring the London record shops. Deciding instead to return home and begin building his own collection of studio gear, Lovesky was created with his first experimentations in eclectic house that would combine his love of organic music with epic beats and psychedelic altitude.

With his first collection of Lovesky material in hand, Michael flew to San Francisco to seek out the legendary Hardkiss brothers, in hopes that a musical relationship would materialize for releases on their Sunburn label. Thanks to their amazing support, Lovesky was taken under the Sunburn wing and introduced to the electronic masses with three songs on their Electric Manor II compilation. With growing interest spawned from that release, Sunburn then released Lovesky’s first single, “Drums 4 Better Daze,” with little knowledge of the mark that would soon be made on DJ’s and listeners world wide. After receiving support and play from the likes of Sasha, Digweed, and Sander Kleinenberg, UK’s Hooj Choons decided to license the track for a re-release to increase the exposure of Lovesky’s distinctive sound.

Lovesky’s follow up releases, “Dark Veldt”, and the brooding “Come back to Me” only increased this spell, with his music being sought out by the BBC’s Pete Tong, for his essential mix, and a multitude of compilations from notable others such as Dave Seaman (for the esteemed Renaissance collection), Carl Cox, Peace Division, and Jerry Bonham to name a few.

Lovesky’s singles and inspired remixes have generated as much adoration as they have questions. Choosing to continue his musical journey in Brooklyn, NY with his newest band, Starling Crush , and his own vocal/guitar creations as Michael Simone, the revealing and timing of everything Lovesky is as much of a surprise as the evolving approach and experimentation of sound with each of his creations.
