Plump DJs
Plumps DJs are internationally renowned DJ/Producer duo Andy Gardner and Lee Rous, widely considered to be the co-creators of the Breakbeat genre in dance music. Self-admitted suckers for bass and the groove, the duo fuse the favourite styles from their youth into what they call ‘Plump Music’. The creative hub from which Andy & Lee craft their sound, is to this day still sited in Central London’s Soho. The results of which, have led the duo to the four corners of the world to perform via a four-deck DJ show, notching up literally thousands of live appearances. The duo have enjoyed a prolific musical career spanning over 2 decades, spawning over 100 singles and many award-winning albums. Their sound was originally born into the now legendary breakbeat label Fingerlickin Records in the late 90’s, whose pioneering work provided the platform for the groundbreaking A Plump Night Out album. This led to a golden era of breakbeat releases masterminded by label creators Jem Panufnik and Justin Rushmore of Soul of Man fame. At present Plump DJs are signed to UK premier bass and breaks label Punks Music, from this platform they have released a host of celebrated singles & remixes. Their list of collaborators reads like a line-up at a super festival: Mark Ronson, Deadmou5, Fatboy Slim, the list goes on. Incredibly the Plump DJs have continued to maintain relevance on the electronic dance scene, a passion for innovation and strong friendship being the main fuel to their fire. More recent cross-genre support from artists like Eats Everything has added to long-term essential club & radio presence. Plays from BBC Radio 1 DJ’s Annie Mac and Annie Nightingale, have galvanized an already established list of Plump enthusiasts worldwide. Their legendary 10-year residency at Fabric Nightclub, and subsequent regular shows at their home towns leading venues like XOYO & Ministry of Sound, are a testament to the success of the Plump DJs in London. Further afield they have graced the main stages at premier festivals like Coachella USA, Fuji Rock Japan and Field Day Australia. There seems to be no slowing down for Andy&Lee.
