Lee Pennington Artist Bio

Middlesbrough in the North East of England may not sound like the epicentre of the dance music universe, however in October 2003, with the inception of underground house club night *riffraff, Lee Pennington (Section 75) put his two feet firmly on the first rung of the DJing ladder.

Launched initially as a one-off promotional event to help promote his debut release on Source of Gravity Recordings, it quickly developed into an event that would cater for those people who appreciate forward thinking and thoughtful house music.

Over the last few years Lee has fast become a respected DJ / producer of underground house music under his Section 75 and riffraff aliases. He now has tracks available on many independent labels that are supported by the likes of, Hernan Catteneo, Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, John Digweed, Scott Bradford, Paul Van Dyk and many more A list Djs.

As well as his resident DJ duties at *riffraff, Lee has managed to get out and about across Europe playing his own brand of progressive / tech house to the masses as well as completing a Source of Gravity tour of the USA where he played nine gigs in twelve days. By being part of *riffraff he has played with majority of the UKs top respected underground artists and clubs.

This last year has seen Lee taking *riffraff to the world famous Back2Basics club, Shindig club, Sankeys, Area 51 and finally the one and only Ministry Of Sound. *riffraff also spent its first full summer in Ibiza at the now ever so popular Zoo project where Lee played week in week out to literally thousands of people.

He has been a busy man with radio broadcast appearances on Energy FM, Red & Blues Shake show, Digiprana Sounds, Downshift Radio, LRCN’s shows The Bidness & Four4 (formerly 4×4 101) on DI.FM & AfterhoursDJs.org respectively, and now his own show hosted on Proton alongside Source Of gravity boy Tim Mills.

With DJ gigs coming thick and fast and many more European dates being filled in as we speak, the running of *riffraff, remix and production duties we now look forward to more music from the man in the coming year.
