Plump DJs
Plump DJs (Lee Rous and Andy Gardner) are a popular DJ and producer breaks team who have earned their position in the small group known to be pioneers of the genre. The duo's first record release was a 1999 double single "Plump Chunks/Electric Disco" on Finger Lickin' Records. The next year, they released their first album A Plump Night Out on Finger Lickin' and Nettwerk and its singles "The Push/Remember My Name". The album stayed in the top position of DJ magazine breakbeat chart for three weeks.
They released their second artist album, Eargasm, on July 7, 2003. It featured collaborations with Gary Numan and Lou Rhodes of Lamb. Following the release of Eargasm, they established a quarterly night club night of the same name at Fabric in London after the popularity of their FabricLive mix CD. In July 2005, they released Saturday Night Lotion. It is considered their third artist album, due to the sheer number of original productions included on it. Soon after the release of Saturday Night Lotion, they were called upon to preside over the mixing duties of Mixmag's 'Breakbeat Annual 2005' which was to be included in their upcoming November issue.
They are one of the few breakbeat acts to have songs that have broken through in to more mainstream radio programs. In addition to producing, they have toured outside the UK to DJ at breaks events around the world.

The Plumps have never let me down. From the moment i heard 'The Gate' at Fabriclive in 2004, the bar for any of my breaks comparisons was raised.
