The build up to Christmas can be stressful or exciting, I’ve weaved in and out of both these zones the past month. Stress has come through my ability to leave everything to the last minute and just make my 4pm deadlines. The excitement comes after these 4pm deadlines on the walk home as I know Greggs does not close until 5! So on the walk home I put on my headphones with a pasty in hand and see what I have in the recently added playlist. When you come through the other end of the assignment turmoil you find yourself way behind on everything music and let be honest most the stuff is half-assed done and not worth your time. Then something fantastic with an even more fantastic name comes along making you realise the cold pasty you have been given isn’t so bad. Greggs were not going to make a new batch of sausage and bean pasties just for me finishing my work on time, thus bring back the swagger in my step.

This is the moment I jumped on the Ghosts of Venice (Lee, one half of Leeds famous Youth Attack!) wagon, I don’t plan to get off this for anyone. Not even the snow is stopping Lee from showing us how to have a good time. Moving away from the dark Youth Attack sound that bites, Lee and his Ghosts of Venice project goes down a different path which is much smoother with some disco arrangements involved. If we were going to give the word ‘fun’ a sound genre Ghosts of Venice has hit it spot on with his Filter House. If I were going to give it a genre name, it would only be allowed to be used after the 9pm watershed sadly. Give the tracks a listen and tells us what one of your made up genres it would fit into.
