Some info on the artists...

LEE COOMBS:

"If this show had an in-house orchestra, it would be LEE COOMBS", Pete Tong, Essential show, Radio One. (27/10/00)

Lee Coombs first started DJ¹ing in 1989 at acid house parties in and around Cambridge and London. He quickly built up a following and name for himself and was soon a resident at the infamous Eclipse raves.

He produced his first record in 1991 under the name of The Invisible Men on Orbital Records, and this was just the beginning. He went on to run his own labels Paradise Recordings, Pumpin Vinyl and the now much talked about Zoid and Thrust series as well as an outing as The Frog Junkies. Under his real name Lee Coombs he has recorded the most excellent Sky Juice and Intensity for Finger Lickin' and then his monstrous follow up single Future Sound of Retro, a firm favourite with Radio One's Pete Tong (it was included on his Essential Selection Spring 2000 CD). It was played on Radio One¹s Essential selection every week for 2 months.

In 1998 Lee was drawn to the bright lights of London where he has continued to DJ regularly at all the major clubs including Bugged Out and Fabric as well as under the Finger Lickin' banner all over the U.K and Europe. He has forged his own style of DJing, converging funky deep grooves from electro, breakbeat, house and techno, that is guaranteed to get them moving. He has been busy blowing up dancefloors from Edinburgh to Berlin, from San Francisco to Jersey!

After working for Intergroove distribution for years, Lee has now given it up to concentrate on music full-time. When he¹s not locked in his studio he can be found early morning water skiing, or restoring his beloved 1972 Porsche Targa (as seen on Finger Lickin' artwork). His past success with the remix of DJ Technique My Definition for Mob Recordings and his own production Thrust 2 under the pseudonym of Oscar Goldman have seen his profile soar. His talents have brought him remixes from Sister Bliss, New Order, Planet Funk and Spot On, as well as achieving Essential New Tune on Pete Tong for his incredible mix of Quivver. He now spends his time touring the world, has a radio show on Frisky Radio, an exclusive residency in San Francisco, and continues to find time to produce new tracks

BASSBIN TWINS

Bassbin Twins have been releasing records in the underground dance music scene since 1992 including their own Bassbin Twins Volume series, ep's for labels like Skint and Southern Fried, SSR, Marine Parade, Mute, Spider Cuts, and numerous remixes for artists including Boogie Down Productions, Evil 9, DJ Punk Roc, Dub Pistols, Freakpower, etc.

The Bassbin Twins dj set is an anything goes mix bringing in broken beats both old and new school, jacking tech house, electro, and funky drum and bass all put through the Bassbin blender and mashed in the name of up for it party music.

DYLAN RHYMES

Breaks DJ's know the name Dylan Rhymes well, as his records and remixes are in the A list of tracks getting played. Releasing tracks on all the major breaks lables such as Fingerlickin', Lot 49, Kingsize, Thrust and others, he is defining the evolution of new sounds in dance music. In his first major appearance at an SF party, you can bet he will bring his A game to America's capital of break beat.
