The seminal Tyrant partnership between Lee Burridge and Craig Richards looks to be entering a new phase in 2010. Speaking to inthemix as he readies himself for a September visit, Burridge revealed that the pair plans to make its dancefloor blow-outs a more regular affair – and not just at home.
Tyrant intermittently meets at Fabric in London, with the two men going back-to-back over many hours. The most recent party was but a few weeks ago, and so much fun was had (“I didn’t get to my bed until Tuesday morning,” Burridge notes) that they naturally want to do more.
“Craig and I are planning to do Tyrant more regularly again and also take it out of the UK,” the DJ confirmed. “It’s very special to both of us and worthy of refocusing on. We’ve not really exported the experience in the past as the venues we decided to play in – Fabric and The Bomb – had a lot to do with the overall experience. We will, of course, chose carefully where our Tyrant marauds.”
When they get together, the musical alchemy is legendary. Burridge clearly agrees. “To this day, his musical choices confuse, confound and consume me. He has a very unique take on the whole thing and together, with what I have going on, we make a cake that tastes really weird and quite different to our own individual pastries.”
Burridge of course is due to return here on his lonesome in September, and Richards is firmly on our most-wanted tours list. Hopefully we show one half of Tyrant such a good time, they choose to maraud here together…
