Lee Coombs has been one of the driving forces behind the ‘tech-funk’ approach to DJing and producing, one that knocks down the genre barriers and takes in breaks, house, electro and techno in equal measures, and in late October he’ll be back in Australia for a tour where he’ll be DJing in support of his new album Light and Dark, which is out shortly of Lot49.

Coombs has been working on Light and Dark for nearly two years now, and it’s a change of tact in that there’s a bit of a retrospective angle going on, where he looks back through the history of electronic music and tries to meld it with his approach of the present. Think dirty old-school analogue sounds, brought together with the big techy sounds that Coombs is known for.
