Q&A and 6AM Guest Mix: Charlie Rope

Heavily influenced by the likes of Larry Levan, Giorgio Moroder, Frankie Knuckles and Giles Peterson, Charlie Rope’s love of classic house music and disco is apparent in his productions, which are also driven by a desire to bring people together through music.

Growing up in Bedford listening to disco, funk and early house music, Charlie has started to find his feet as a producer, which only felt like a natural progression after DJing from a relatively young age. Both a regular on the dance floor and long-time listener of BBC’s Essential mix has help build the foundations to his love of club music, track selection and energetic DJ sets. 

His very first release was on Reptile Dysfunction back in 2017, confidently setting out his musical stall with life-affirming disco loops and chunky house grooves.
