  • James Pennington, also known as Suburban Knight, is an artist and DJ andProducer with Underground Resistance (UR), an independent record label based in Detroit, USA. Music by Pennington and other UR members was featured in the video game Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, which is set on the streets of Detroit. A crucial figure on the outskirts of Detroit techno since the mid '80s, James Pennington's recordings as the Suburban Knight pioneered the moodier side of the Motor City with classics like "The Art of Stalking" and "The Groove". And though he collaborated on the biggest hit to come out of Detroit, the techno-pop monster "Big Fun" by Inner City, he later recorded with subterranean mainstays Underground Resistance. It was through his connection with another Detroit mainstay, Derrick May, that Pennington began recording. May had set up his own Transmat Records in 1986, and Suburban Knight debuted the following year with the third release for the label, "The Groove". He had also been working with Kevin Saunderson, and co-wrote "Big Fun" with Saunderson and Art Forrest. After vocals were added by Paris Grey and the record was released, it became a worldwide hit and virtually defined early Detroit techno for many foreigners. Though Pennington only released one more single for Transmat, it was the dark classic "The Art of Stalking". With the rise of Detroit's second wave in the early 1990s, Pennington became a mentor for Mike Banks and the Underground Resistance crew. With Underground Resistance, he released the singles "Nocturbulous Behavior" and "Dark Energy". He also featured on the Submerge label compilation Depth Charge, Vol. 3, and produced tracks for Underground Resistance's 1998 full-length Interstellar Fugitive. James' Debut album 'My Sol Dark Direction' was released to critical acclaim including both classics and new, unreleased productions.
  • James Pennington alias Suburban Knight ist ein afroamerikanischer Techno-Produzent und DJ aus Detroit. 1987 wurde er durch seine Veröffentlichung auf dem Label Transmat Records bekannt. Labelbesitzer Derrick May persönlich nahm Pennington unter Vertrag. Fünf Jahre nach den Belleville Three, machte auch Pennington 1982 seinen Abschluss an der Belleville High School. Was viele nicht wissen ist, dass der „Vorstadtritter“ (so die Übersetzung von Suburban Knight) Co-Writer der Inner City Hits Big Fun und Good Life ist. Des Weiteren wurde mit Penningtons Techno Track The Art of Stalking ein weiterer Meilenstein auf Transmat Records veröffentlicht. Mit der sogenannten „Second Wave“ (Zweite Welle) von Techno-Musikern aus Detroit in den frühen 90ern wurde Pennington ein Mentor vom Underground Resistance Kopf Mike Banks. Auf UR erschienen seine Singles Nocturbulous Behavior and Dark Energy. Außerdem arbeitete James Pennington an einigen Tracks des Albums Interstellar Fugitive von Underground Resistance mit. Auf seinem eigenen Label Dark Print veröffentlichte er Tech-hieroglyphics und unterstützt dort auch europäische Künstler wie GiGi Galaxy, The Sense, Locutus, DJ Tao, Punisher und Twonz.
