It's 1985 in the idyllic backwaters of rural England and a young Lee Burridge has just embarked on what will become a very colourful DJ career. Currently, though, he's playing appalling music at birthdays, weddings, and the odd funeral.

Sadly for the deceased, but luckily for us, with aspirations of playing the kind of music he's been hearing at acid house parties, Lee takes a quick look at his life and decides a change is needed. So he moves from Dorset... to Hong Kong. As you do.

The caliber of Lee's early parties ensured that scores of world-class DJs played, and these sometimes chaotic, often unforgettable nights helped lay the foundation for Hong Kong's - now thriving - underground house scene.

It wasn't all fun though. During his 6 years at the forefront off Asia's dance music scene, Lee and his cohorts also endured grueling periods hanging about on the beaches of Thailand, as they brought dance music to the legendary full moon parties for the first time.

2 DJs who passed through Hong Kong were Sasha and Craig Richards, and these guys later fashioned together a partnership called Tyrant. In 1998, they lured Lee back to the UK, using carrots, to become part of the Tyrant Soundsystem.
