Postino (artist)
Postino (real name Junho Lee) is an electronic music producer based in London. He is the owner of independent record label Postino Records, and is noted as being one of the first South Korean producers to top the European DJ charts.
History
He started his professional career as a pop music producer in South Korea, composing film scores and producing singles for Korean singers. He has worked with Lee Ki Chan the longest, having produced five of his albums; a song from the ninth album, "합니다..." (to do...), was used to promote the film The Illusionist throughout South Korea. He arranged and produced for South Korean pop-girl group S.E.S. in 2002, and his songs 'Requiem' and 'Red Angel' were chosen by Japanese fans to be released on "S.E.S._Best". He was also producer and keyboard player for Acid Jazz/pop outfit Mogi.
His debut album, A Letter From The Postino, was released in early 2007 via Lupin Records in South Korea. He moved on to work in London in 2007 where he started focusing on electronic music.
Bushey Hill Jazz House peaked at #2 on Juno Download's with the single "Bushey Hill". It remained at the top of the charts on Juno Download for five successive weeks, and ranked on Juno Recommends: Broken Beat/Nu Jazz and Deep House.
He subsequently remixed a single for Korean entertainer Hwangbo, which peaked at #1 on JunoDownload's singles charts for four days .
Pieorgi Records recently hosted Postino as a guest DJ at SQ Club in Poznań, Poland.
The name 'Postino' was inspired by his life-long vision that electronic music can be as warm and full of meaning as a hand-written letter.
