Legendary producer Dave Lee returns as AC Soul Symphony with the “Metamorphosis” LP - 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 labour 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 favourite 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”.

Hello and thanks yet again. Lulu (Edwina Lawrie. A belting voice and top girl too) on lead vocals, or tell me I'm wrong? No wonder Take That wanted her on their Dan Hartman cover of 'Relight My Fire'. Eileen (late mum and top granny) loved Dave's work and was a passionate advocate of 'music for kids' in all shapes and forms (she was a special needs/'ESN' as known now teacher and more). Make the world dance. It will be a better place for that. Night from a madhouse. I'm doing the washing-up..
❤ Dope Dave. Love it
I’ll have to wait for the sleeve notes when the vinyl arrives. This is just so emotive and gorgeous. Sublime vocal with a real gentleness and kindness in the performance. Nice understated drums too so it’s not swamping everything. I’m wondering if the album should have been called “ Strings Matter Too “ lol
Check out the original from Darcus. Don't get me wrong this is a great rendition but the original is pure magic. Richie Rome who wrote and arranged this song is criminally underrated.
My Goddess. Very Cool song. Thanks Dave 😎👍🏻🎉❤🕺🏻
Hello ❤ ❤ ça me rappelle mes bonnes annees ..Monique
Nice 👍
❤
❤❤❤
as a true authentic disco man its a great Re-mix 101% ,, yet,,
as they say in reggae a lot of the sauce is on the 2 & 4 (UK)
just listened to the original & the sauce in parts is on the 1 & 3 (USA)
though admit to get that exact sauce may have been impossible to capture, if, you cannot hear it
Disco sometimes has a very ethnic beat, not an A typical 4/4
some would call it slight of hand (even a bad drummer reading a weak score )
my research suggests its the St Louis March or similar
ruling ,, the upbeat 1st beat & is "rolling" or adjustable rather than fixed
jazz musicians are sometimes powerful when doing commercial music
thanks
pure dope! love it, masterpiece, ordered 2x2x2 -Viynl..please sent it fast.....
Does anyone think some of the vocals really sound like Lulu?
Totally 👍. When her goes slightly hoarse… ❤
