    LOVE LEE TENDER

    Ladies lover Tim 'Love' Lee will be our guest this Saturday, 1 April 2000. He can get the party rockin and the bodies shockin to his mix of house rhythms, sweaty funk, brazilian vibes and "where the hell did that come from" sample pressure... Throw tequila somewhere in there.

    Tim 'Love' Lee was born in January 1970 and, as far as his taste in erotica and facial hair is concerned, has not progressed much further. However, when it comes to music, Tim is not so stuck in his ways. He started piano lessons at eight years old and from the age of fifteen, when he bought his first synthesizer, he has played in just about every type of band you can name, including a stint playing Hammond organ with "Walking On Sunshine" popsters and Eurovision Song Contest winners, Katrina and The Waves.

    With a penchant for roughed up samples and slabs of punky beats, Tummy Touch head honcho Tim 'Love' Lee has been busy laying down his own vision of British 90s dancehall funk. Like big beat, only tougher, looser and way more debauched, as the albums 'Confessions Of A Selector' and 'Tim Love Lee's XXX-Mas Selection' both display to glorious effect.

    The recent chart success of Groove Armada has suddenly thrust London label Tummy Touch into the upper echelons of dance culture. But Tim 'Love' Lee's imprint had been responsible for countless musical triumph before that, not least two albums of uproarious sampladelic made by Lee himself.

    The Tummy Touch trademarks - profuse amounts of warm live playing and outrageous samples, usually employed with an uncanny knack for classy tunesmanship. Check it this Saturday at Intrafunk.

    DAZE ACTION

    Our previous event on 11 March 2000 with Simon Lee of Faze Action was a blast! Playing to a select crowd of head-nodding individuals, Simon served up the goods with the latest moves and the rarest grooves. Spreading his message of "menage a trois, me and you... and you", the crowd responded in dionysian flair and devil-dressed freaks started prancing about in the mardi gras ambience. Thanks to Dimitri and Brother Tee for messing Simon up with all that alcohol!
