'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 DJ'ing 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 of a long string of productions. 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 has been played on Radio One's Essential selection every week since June.

In 1998 Lee was drawn to the bright lights of London where he has continued to DJ regularly at Home 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 he's 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.

In June 2001 Lee's compilation album 'Future Sound of Retro' was released to critical acclaim. With numerous plays by Pete Tong, Seb Fontaine (his album of the month in July Ministry magazine) and countless others, he's the man to watch. He's now busy DJ'ing all over the world from San Francisco to Sydney as well as featuring heavily on thre Finger Lickin' national tour. As far as productions go he is working on his artist album for release in 2002.
