Though he might be unknown to the casual electronic music fan, Lee Burridge is an established figure in the global dance music scene who is always able to dish up phenomenal music and hedonism. Discogs will tell ya:

Before Lee Burridge became one of England’s more acknowledged house DJs in the early 2000s thanks to his Tyrant residency at Fabric alongside Craig Richards, he spent the majority of the ’90s in Hong Kong, where he honed his skills. Burridge left for Hong Kong in 1991 after realizing that his chances for success in England as a DJ were slim. During the ’90s he spun at most of Hong Kong’s premier clubs and also made contacts with visiting DJs such as Sasha and Craig Richards. In addition, he would often spin at a number of Thailand’s famous full moon parties in Ko Pha Ngan. By the end of the ’90s, Burridge had moved back to England and was ready to establish himself as a premier DJ. This didn’t take long once Burridge and Richards set up their Tyrant residency at Fabric, one of London’s leading clubs. He garnered special attention with his unexpected mix of house and breakbeats, two often juxtaposing styles of dance music that he would carefully balance during his sets. Lee Burridge is currently ranked # 30 in the DJ Mag top 100 list for 2003.

On February 7th, DJ Lee Burridge threw down a massive set and killed the place at Avalon in Hollywood. BT followed up but frankly seemed underwhelming with a very ‘orchestrated’ performance that barely required any effort on his 19″ ws touchscreen and certainly didn’t demand the attitude of his bouncer.

Alas, beautiful music all night so no drama, only joy with this interview recorded with Lee:
