Lee Coombs
Fraktured Friday’s coming out swinging with legend LEE COOMBS. Lee has been at the forefront of the electronic music world for over 25 years. Releasing ground breaking mix albums, remixing the world’s most acclaimed artists, and knocking out dancefloor destroying productions that are considered classics years after their release. Join us May 27th for this epic night of break beats!
Lee Coombs (Thrust Recordings – United Kingdom/Orlando, FL): A seasoned veteran, Coombs first hit the DJ slopes in 1989, bathing himself in the acid house scene at parties around London and Cambridge. Crucial in shaping his all-encompassing approach to DJing and production, this boundary-less approach would become Coombs’ trademark, mixing up Breaks, House, Electro, Techno and Acid with dexterous assurance. In 1998 Coombs made his first massive strike on the Breaks scene as the prized recruit of then ‘up and coming’ label Finger Lickin’, with the man’s acclaimed album of 2001 ‘Future Sound of Retro’ signalling his arrival on the world stage. The album struck a chord within the dance music community, so much so that respected industry figurehead Pete Tong noted him as the ‘man to watch’. An ‘Essential New Tune’ accolade soon followed courtesy of Tong, with Coombs’ re-rub of Quivver’s ‘One Last Time’ making dance fans weak at the knees the world over.
When he is not in the Producers chair, Coombs regularly tours all corners of the globe and is a bona-fide fan favourite throughout Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia and of course the UK. His popularity has also ensured his repeat appearance at infamous festival ‘The Burning Man’ in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. In a world that’s so often governed by trends and fads, Coombs’ unwavering ability to simultaneously destroy dancefloors and push musical boundaries over 25 years since he first touched a pair of turntables is a remarkable achievement in itself. There’s little doubt that his impressive sonic skills will be rocking ears for many years to come.
