BASS: Fleming & Lawrence a new collaboration of trance and house veterans – with audio

After spending most of his career playing solo, longtime trance and progressive house DJ Christopher Lawrence (pictured below) has joined forces with John “00” Fleming of the UK under the moniker Fleming & Lawrence. The duo announced they’ve launched an underground dance music tour (UDM).

Fleming & Lawrence are focusing on playing long four- to eight-hour tag team sets of progressive house, where they’re able to gradually build a groove and take audiences on a musical journey. In addition, they’re doing away with go-go dancers on stage and keeping club lighting effects to a minimum in a bid to refocus on the music.

So far, the approach has been a success, Fleming & Lawrence’s booking agency Assured Artists said in a press release.

The duo headlined at several major venues on the global DJ circuit recently, including Ministry of Sound in London, Govurnment in Toronto, Soundbar in Chicago, and Avalon and Vanguard in Los Angeles, among others.

Fleming & Lawrence came about after the two began playing together and started a series of collaborative gigs, original production work and a joint mix collaboration that led to their joint mix album Global Trance Grooves. As previously reported, they also released an earlier album Global Trance Grooves: Two Tribes.

Christopher Lawrence is one of America's most popular and respected DJs and producers. Longtime WORD'N'BASS readers will recall he won the coveted America’s Best DJ title back in 2008. His recent mix albums include Pharmacy: Phase 1, in 2011. Check out his website or like him at Facebook for more information.
