The Plump DJs Live from the Fabric in London...
BiO Plump DJs....
BORN
Lee: London, 1972
Andy: Northampton, 1974
FAMILY
Lee, Andy's family have known about his musical desires from
a very young age. He's a really talented pianist and has
studied music all his life. He's classically trained so his
family have always backed him in the music thing. My family
really wanted me to do something else, feeling that music
wasn't a consistent thing to get into. I was playing the
guitar at school but I got into other stuff, architecture
and buildings. When the building industry collapsed in `95
there were no jobs so I was promoting and DJing. ThatÆs how
I got back into music, which was my first love. I think both
our parents are slightly bewildered by what modern dance
music is and what we do. But we sorted that out by taking
them to fabric, which was quite good fun. They got to
experience Room 1 from the DJ booth at 2 in the morning.
There were mixed initial comments, I think Andy's mum
thought everyone would be really good at dancing because
when she grew up everyone did proper dancing. Now people
stand and throw their arms around so she was a bit
bewildered by that. My dad thought it was like a football
match, my mum loved the energy of the night and I think they
all now have a better appreciation of it. It seemed a bit
weird at the time but the result is we now have both of our
families rooting for us.
MUSICAL ROOTS
Lee, We are both a similar age and we enjoyed similar sorts
of music although we never met. We shared the same sort of
musical progression. It started with disco at a very young
age, the sort of things our parents were playing at parties.
Growing up in the 80's past the age where you listen to your
parents music it was pop through to hip hop. We were both
into hip hop from a really young age and that led on to
dance music for us both. We got into house music quite
heavily when it kicked off at the end of the 80Æs and thatÆs
what we were partying to. Then we went off it when it got
all glam and cheesy. That revived our early interest in hip
hop and I was promoting one of the early breakbeat nights in
London, Freshly Breaked. It was about the same time the
whole big beat thing kicked in and we were programming The
Freestylers, Ali B, Tayo and that, before they were doing
anything at all. That's when Andy and I met because I got
him to DJ as Cut N Paste when he was working at Freskanova."
FIRST PROJECTS
Lee, We got together in 97 after being introduced by Matt
Cantor from the Freestylers. We met Steve Blonde (fabric,
head of promotions) and changed Freshly Breaked to
Passenger. Me and Andy were friends initially then Andy
played me a tune one day and asked if I fancied doing a
remix, so we created the Plump DJs. The first remix we did
together through Freskanova wasn't blinding but got a few
nods from people we respected at the time. We kept our heads
down, did a couple of dodgy remixes, but then started
finding our feet and thatÆs when we took the new tracks to
Finger LickinÆ. It all started there.
LABELS & PRODUCTION
Lee, When we went to Finger LickinÆ we had a meeting with
Justin Rushmore. He's got a really good head on him when it
comes to music. He said some things about what we were doing
and basically made us realise a few things about where we
were going and helped us along the way. IÆve not been
classically trained or trained in music at all, so I've had
to pick it all up. Andy does most of the programming but we
basically find all the component parts together.
DJING
Lee, Andy had decks quite early. I only bought mine last
year, I thought it was about time. I learnt on Matt's (The
Freestylers) decks and pissed him off for an entire summer
going round to see him, for his decks upstairs! I would be
up there for hours and he would just go out. To be honest
there isn't much to it, once you've spent a whole summer
getting your head round it then it's like riding a bike. You
don't need a bike to know that you can ride one. You need an
understanding of how tunes are put together. No one can be
expected to know that from birth, you need to be taught.
ItÆs amazing; when I first went into the studio with Andy he
was pointing out rudimentary things to me. 'This is a high
hat, and this is a kick drum' he'd say, and I was like æoh
yeah. I wondered what that noise wasÆ. It's just an
education.
FABRIC
Lee, They're a nice bunch, there's a lot of love there. We
get treated so well when we come down. We've been playing
for a year and a bit. We started doing the main room thing
at the beginning of the year. We played a couple of times in
Room 3 at first with Finger Lickin'. Now it feels like home.
THE FUTURE
Lee, We are polishing off our album at the moment, it's
coming out on Finger Lickin' Records in the summer. We're
play at the Transmusicales Festival in France in December,
Hong Kong for Christmas and Australia over New Year with a
17,000 crowd on New Years day. Then we stop at Singapore on
the way back. We've got a few of our new tracks on the
FABRICLIVE compilation and our Mr Velcro Fastener remix with
some exclusives from Lee Coombs, Meat Katie and Soul Of Man.
We are launching it with a gig at the club in February that
we are really looking forward to. There should also be a US
and European tour around our artist album launch next
summer. We are looking forward to a good year in 2003 with
our continued FABRICLIVE residency and other nights.
