  • Plump DJs (Lee Rous and Andy Gardner) are a DJ and producer team in electronic dance music. Early pioneers of the breakbeat genre in electronic music, the Plump DJs have diversified in recent years to incorporate new styles such as electro, house and bass music. Their sound is still widely thought to maintain a breakbeat aesthetic, but their productions and DJ sets have become stylistically broader. Throughout the 2000s, they released a string of singles and remixes of well-known dance music names such as Fatboy Slim, Orbital, Deadmau5 and the Stanton Warriors. Lee Rous and Andy Gardner met at proto-breakbeat label Freskanova in west London in the late 1990s. Gardner was making music with Matt Cantor from The Freestylers, and Rous was DJing at and promoting the Passenger nights in Kings Cross. Their first release together, "Plump Chunks/Electric Disco", came out on Finger Lickin' Records in 1999. When they released the "A Plump Night Out" album – basically a live DJ mix featuring their own original music – they really began to achieve international notoriety. The Plump DJs were asked by dance music culture magazine Mixmag to mix their February 2001 cover CD, which they called Elastic Breaks. Soon after, in May, they released a two-CD mix compilation called Urban Underground and in February 2003 they produced the eighth album in the FabricLive series for the acclaimed London venue. Their artist album Eargasm was released in July 2003 and featured synthesizer pioneer Gary Numan and Lamb chanteuse Louise Rhodes. They began a quarterly residency at Fabric, running their own Eargasm nights at the London club, and secured placings in the DJ magazine Top 100 DJs list and won a multiple Breakspoll awards. In 2008, they rebranded their Fabric night, calling it Headthrash after their latest album and opening up the music policy to other styles apart from breakbeat. Their DJ sets and productions began changing accordingly, and the four-deck live DJ show they developed allowed them to pull off more creative mixes in clubs and at festivals such as Coachella, Glastonbury, and Skolbeats. In 2009, their contract ended with Finger Lickin' Records and they signed to release a double-CD post-breaks compilation on the Global Underground series. They released the "My Hi Tops" single on the Global Underground imprint, too. In 2010, the Plump DJs began releasing material on new London-based label Grand Hotel. They have also become one of the label's new residents at events held at Fabric and Matter nightclubs. Their recent remixes have been more eclectic with artists such as Deadmau5, Dave Spoon, and the Stanton Warriors.
  • Plump DJs (Lee Rous e Andy Gardner) é um grupo de DJ e produtor do nu skool breaks, um estilo de música eletrônica. Em 1999 lançaram o primeiro single "Plumpy Chunks/Eletric Disco" pela gravadora Finger Lickin' Records. No ano seguinte eles fizeram o primeiro álbum A Plump Night Out também na Finger Lickin com o single The Push/Remember My Name. O álbum ficou na primeira posição da sua categoria na lista da revista DJ Magazine por três semanas. O álbum teve uma edição de mix contínuo e outra de vinil, não-remixada. Logo depois a dupla foi chamada pela revista Mixmag, que tem como foco a cultura dance, para remixar o CD da edição de fevereiro. Intitulado, Elastic Breaks o CD contou com faixas de vários artistas além do Plump DJs como Freq Nasty, General Midi e Proper Filthy Naughty entre outros. Em 21 de maio de 2001 eles lançaram o CD duplo Urban Underground, a foto da capa assemelha-se à roupa de camuflagem usada pelos soldados militares, mas com cores desérticas. Mais tarde, em 2002 eles foram chamados para fazer outro mix, dessa vez para a Fabric - conhecido clube noturno de Londres - da sua série de CDs gravados ao vivo FabricLive. Em fevereiro de 2003, eles produziram e realizaram o oitavo álbum da série. No dia 7 de julho de 2003 eles lançaram seu segundo álbum próprio, Eargasm, que apresentou colaborações de Gary Numan, Eddie Bo e Louise Robinson da banda Lamb. Depois do lançamento de Eargasm, eles estabeleceram uma noite trimestral na Fabric depois da popularidade do CD de mixagens FabricLive. Em 4 de julho de 2005 eles lançaram Saturday Night Lotion. É considerado o terceiro álbum do Plump Djs devido ao número absoluto de produções originais incluídas nele. Eles foram um dos poucos atuantes do breakbeat a ter músicas tocadas em programas de rádio dominantes. Além de produzir, eles se apresentaram fora do Reino Unido em eventos de breaks ao redor do mundo. No início de 2007 lançaram o single intitulado "Mad Cow" com a Finger Lickin' Records. No final do mesmo ano foi lançado o segundo single "System Addict/Doppler" com a mesma gravadora. O álbum mais recente da dupla até agora é o "Headthrash".
