Soulful, filtered house music that feels like a warm embrace. Euphoric disco loops and gospel-tinged vocals built for sun-drenched rooftops and late-night floors.
Pete Heller is a foundational figure in the UK house scene, emerging from the legendary Shoom Club culture of the late 1980s. His career is inextricably linked with the Boys Own and Junior Boys Own labels, where he formed a prolific partnership with Terry Farley.
Together, they bridged the gap between indie-rock and dance music, remixing acts like Primal Scream and The Farm. Heller's sound identity is characterized by 'Big Room' house, utilizing sophisticated filtering techniques and soulful, often gospel-influenced vocal sampling. His 1999 hit 'Big Love' remains a definitive example of the filtered disco-house subgenre. Beyond his solo success, his influence as a remixer is vast, having touched the catalogs of Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, and Michael Jackson. Critically, he is respected for his technical precision (bolstered by a degree in Physics) and his ability to maintain underground credibility while achieving significant chart success. He remains a key architect of the 'modern soul' aesthetic within electronic music.
