Coke & Rum was conceived in the bedroom of artist and producer GEE LEE in the middle of the pandemic. When the world stood still and dancefloors fell silent, behind closed doors GEE LEE was busy honing his craft and synthesising his unique sound. Amidst this creative flurry, where he was obsessively making music everyday, GEE LEE reworked the vocals from Riton & Kah-Lo’s ‘Fake ID’ and ‘Coke & Rum’ was born

Without much thought, GEE LEE posted the track online; but unbeknownst to him, it would go on to change the course of his life. After initially going under the radar, house heads across the world slowly began tapping in and sharing the song online. This would be the tinderbox moment that would propel this song in the public eye. Suddenly ‘Coke & Rum’ was everywhere, spreading like wildfire across the digital landscape. This coincided with the end of the pandemic, where the song then successfully migrated over from the online world to the dancefloor. Having already set alight Soundcloud and TikTok amassing millions of streams, the song has now set dancefloors ablaze all over the globe.

“Coke & Rum took off in a way I’d never have imagined. It resonated with so many people across the world. When I released the track I never expected it to get the kind of response it did. This song is a testament to how creativity and new technologies push forward new sounds and movements. The digital world has democratised music in such a radical way. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection”
