Об исполнителе:
Country Gents is the moniker of Lee Jones, DJ and producer. A DJ since 1996, Lee was initially inspired by DiY Soundsystem and ethos in 1990 and ended up DJ’ing all over the UK, Europe and America before starting his own events in Reading and Oxford UK under the name Valley Moods Productions. Over the years, a number of other producers have worked with Lee as fellow Gents, but currently he is working solo from his Bristol Bus Studio in the wilds of South Oxfordshire. On the performance front Joe Hockham is now a regular fixture and between them the House sound is developing yet again into new territory. Both Lee and Joe’s backgrounds are firmly in the Free Party/Rave/Festival scene that dates back to 1989. as mentioned earlier, in 1990, Nottingham sound system DiY erupted into the new culture of spontaneous guerrilla raves that began for that group of travellers and townsfolk alike, which was where it all really began for both of them. These are exciting times - he launched a new label called Buslife at the end of 2015. Has gigs regularly with Camouflaged Disco in Sheffield and Duvet Vous? in Bristol to name just two. Now its April 2020 and the Country Gents Radio Show has moved on from 3.5 fantastic years at Release FM and is now a resident on The Underground Sessions Radio, Saturday night from 6pm to 8pm GMT The picture you see in the logo of the label also happens to be his home, hence the name!
