“Coombs has done well by enticing fans of breaks, house and techno and creating something they can all dig.” (Compilation Of The Month) - DJ Mag
Lee Coombs has been at the forefront of the electronic music scene for the better part of 15 years. He’s released groundbreaking mix CDs, remixed the world’s most acclaimed artists and knocked out dancefloor destroying productions considered classics years after their release. While often associated with the Breaks genre, this labelling does not begin to tell the entire story. A boundary-less approach is truly Coombs’ trademark and he’s famous for mixing up breaks, house, electro, techno and acid with dexterous assurance. Prime example: Lot49 Presents: Lee Coombs
For this compilation, Coombs has pulled out all the stops, digging deep into a treasure trove of breaks, house and techno and pulling out pure gold. Opening with the rocking drums and simple catchy riff of Coombs & DJ Icey’s “Duo Drive The Ride,” the mix shifts effortlessly through an electronic landscape taking in earth shuddering basslines, deep brooding grooves and a blatant disregard to genre boundaries. Here. Offerings from Tiga’s Turbo label sit alongside productions from German wunderkind Oliver Huntemann and rough breaks and bass from Dopamine rub shoulders with the house sound of Guy Gerber. Amongst the gems is an unreleased Meat Katie remix of Alloy Mental and the much sought after “No Hits” from Black Mountain vs UNKLE.
Lot49 Presents: Lee Coombs is just one of several new releases this Producer/Remixer/DJ has planned for the next few months. In October top breaks label Fingerlickin’ Records will release Coombs’ “The Future Sound of Retro 2008 remixes” and include the track on it’s 10-year anniversary compilation. In November, Lot49 Records will issue Lee Coombs feat Katherine Ellis “Control.” The package is set to feature three remixes and will be available in both vinyl and digital formats. Looking towards 2009, Coombs looks to offer his collaboration with Uberzone entitled “Right Now” and plans on the release of his latest original artist CD. While still dancefloor focused, Coombs views this album as his most ambitious project yet. It will feature a range of tempo from 100 – 128 bpm and collaborations with the likes of Meat Katie, Seasunz, Katherine Ellis, Uberzone, among others.
Further proof of Coombs’ versatility and talent as a producer arrives with his own bangin’ white label remix of Meat Beat Manifesto classic “Radio Babylon.” Call it what you want, but this one truly kicks ass. Download it while you can free by clicking here

LEE COOMBS BULLET POINTS
* In 1998 Coombs made his first massive strike on the breaks scene as the prized recruit of then ‘up and coming’ label Finger Lickin’, with the man’s acclaimed album of 2001 ‘Future Sound of Retro’ signalling his arrival on the world stage. Such was the impressive nature of Coombs’ debut that respected industry figurehead Pete Tong noted him as the ‘man to watch’. An ‘Essential New Tune’ accolade soon followed courtesy of Tong, with Coombs’ re-rub of Quivver’s ‘One Last Time’ making dance fans weak at the knees the world over.
*Such was the demand for Coombs, that luminary Paul Oakenfold signed him to mix 2002’s acclaimed Perfecto Breaks album.
* Coombs has remixed world-class acts including Moby, New Order and Lamb
* Lee Coombs released his debut artist album Breakfast of Champions in 2004. The album signalled a significant evolution in his sound by traversing the ambitious new territory of Tech Funk and injecting the Breaks sound with butt-shaking elements of House, Electro and Techno.
* In 2005, Coombs’ relocated to San Francisco and launched his Thrust club nights. These quarterly events would become one of the city’s hottest tickets.
* in early 2008, Coombs was married and relocated to the historically breaks-friendly land of Orlando, Florida
