LEE COOMBS NEW ARTIST ALBUM 'LIGHT AND DARK' RELEASED NOW!!
Light and Dark is in Coombs own words "a true tech funk album", an amalgam of sounds and influences from dance musics often disparate scenes. Alongside Lot49 crew Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes and Elite Force, Coombs has pioneered this open minded attitude and helped forge the sound of tech funk, a fusion of techno, breaks, house and electro. On this long player Coombs takes the tech funk spirit and develops it to the n’th degree, it is a true melting pot of influences, from the opening bars of the Diva driven Control with the wonderful Katherine Ellis to the final refrain of the heavily Echo & the Bunnymen inspired Blues I’m Singing. Collaborations with the highly talented and spiritually inspired Seasunz rub shoulders with the massive Uberzone joint production Right Now whilst the siren drenched sounds of Detox and the squelching warehouse intensity of Moog Acid all add up to make this a pretty special album indeed.
This is not an album for those who want an LP that stays in a single static vein from beginning to end. Rather this is an album that is a true celebration of electronic music and everything that it has to offer, Coombs has been bold enough to dip his musical wand into a variety of styles (see the Leftfield-esque I’m a Machine or the superb Italo Disco) and has pulled off each record with aplomb. His immense experience and ability as a producer have allowed him to take 11 very different aural shards and draw them in an incredibly accomplished final piece that makes for truly great listening.
There will always be a place for Lee Coombs in the dance music landscape and this, his latest offering shows once again why he is held in such high regard.
