NEVER HEARD OF LEE COOMBS?!!

(shame on you..)

*****************

FUTURE SOUNDS OF RETRO...

It would be fair to say that Lee Coombs is more seasoned than a salt and pepper sandwich. He has presided over many a dance floor for the last 12 years beginning his DJ career in 1989 at acid house parties in London and Cambridge and soon becoming the resident at the now fabled Eclipse raves. A natural progression from decks to the studio led to releases under several monikers such as The Invisible Men and The Frog Junkies as well as establishing imprints to release his own work... more DIY than a 'WorkMate'. Fast forward to the summer of 2001 and Lee Coombs is a man enjoying a season in the sun with the likes of Tong caning "The Future Sound of Retro" 12" and Seb Fontaine declaring that he is the DJ that everyone is talking about at the moment.

Even a quick 'once over' of the latest release from the Finger Lickin' stable and it's easy to understand the current groundswell; 11 tracks of acid tinged, bass driven breakbeats mixed seamlessly across 60 minutes provide an excellent showcase from an artist who is clearly reaching a creative peak. The title track "Future Sound Of.." is a revving bass monster that lies somewhere between the home grounds of the Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method whilst the tech-beat "Dance To The House" is a classic in the making, perhaps it is this self assurance in the quality of his own work that has led Mr Coombs to title this album in such a way. The inclusion of Sister Bliss's "Deliver Me" and Quivver's "One Last Time" are a definite attraction rather than a distraction and give context to and complement the overall aim of this project. Look forward to looking back on this record and remembering just how good the summer of 2001 really was. Phat enough to fry your chips in.

'Future Sound Of Retro' is the eagerly anticipated release from Finger Lickin's hottest artist, the DJ that everyone's talking about at the moment, Lee Coombs. Cutting across acid house and tribal breaks it features Lee's best tracks to date, including faultless breakbeat remixes for Sister Bliss, Quivver and Arthur Baker and new cuts like Tribal Tension and the awesome Dance To The House.

Check out some tracks:

wasn't a fan of Porter when I heard him last sat....sounded like he was playing the same song for 30 mins but he's perfect for the average ny club goer...

Lee Coombs well that's just some next level shit on a Phazon!!!!:D

Missed this thread before posting on the other one...

Yeah, I'm pretty down. Lee Coombs tends to play breaky funky house and busts out into breaks once in a while (or at least that's what he played last time I saw him at Centro). Who knows...Steve Porter might also spin some breaks there (his latest track was a hard nu skool breaks track under an alias....can't remember the name of it, but it has a 2sinners track on the flip)
