  • Two of Fabric's favourite sons, Craig Richards and Lee Burridge, will spin together again as Tyrant this weekend. Richards and Burridge's tandem action and eclectic sets in the booth as Tyrant became the staple of nights in London in the early 2000s, before the pair decided to concentrate on solo careers. Over a year has passed since the last Tyrant night – so will fans have to wait another year to see the pair in action again? Not according to Richards: "Our plan is to throw a few parties this year and see what happens. The next one is at the T-Bar in London and then a few more at Fabric during the year." "I’m very excited to play with Lee again," Richards told RA. "There has been much discussion about what happened to Tyrant. The truth is we took a break to pursue personal projects. Lee has been travelling the globe with his record box, partying and talking to strangers whereas I have talked to as few people as possible, made an album with Howie B, and concentrated on my residency at Fabric. It will be fun to play together again. Like a trip down memory lane." Both, however, will continue to concentrate on individual studio projects: Richards will release his album with Howie B at the end of the year, which he describes as, "ranging from gritty electro to beatless ambience, something for the mind and something for dark smoky dancefloors,” while Burridge will continue touring under his 365 umbrella and releasing on his Almost Anonymous label. Richards and Burridge will rinse out the best of dub, deep house, minimal, electro and techno in room one of Fabric supported by DC-10 resident and latest Crosstown Rebels signing Clive Henry. Ben Sims and Oliver Ho provide the harder beats in room two with Bestival chief Rob da Bank, the Cuban Brothers and Dans LeSac vs. Scroobius Pip in room three. Craig Richards and Lee Burridge play Tyrant at Fabric on Saturday, March 10, 2007.
