Physical Education is proud to have Len Lewis back. This time with the reissue of his early 2000s Joy / Skip Up release. A hard to find record released back in the day in a small run press coming out again right in time for summer.

A side's Joy is a beautiful cut of deep tech house with lovely strings and swinging toms signature of the Swag Records affiliate. While the B side includes 2 versions of Skip Up, both are a perfect hybrid between modern deep house and breaks characteristic from that era.

Known by many for his inspiring voyage in the world of music, Len Lewis has created a colourful path for himself which has spanned across multiple decades, as he continues to develop his sound, straining the boundaries of several genres as he goes. Although offering an extensive back catalogue first releasing in ‘93 on Jumpin & Pumpin, which then led to records on the likes of the legendary Swag, and Poodle Records, Lewis is very much about the here and now, with a slew of releases in recent years, the inaugural Deep Sleep Robot, on UK based Real Deal Records, on Lamache’s Discobar, Drifted, Banoffee Pies and several others. The recent flurry of output also consists of some sought after represses that the Londoner originally shared around twenty years ago, tastemakers across the board have been calling out loud for a long time for the releasing of some of Len’s integral back catalogue. The passion has been reignited, and you are all invited. 

Growing up in the cultural melting pot we call London, Lewis developed an early taste for music, originally down the classical route, learning to play the violin, and asserting himself in local orchestras. As the teen years progressed the UK native found himself as lead singer of cover bands for Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, before taking the plunge into the rave society at the age of 16. This had a huge impact on the course of the narrative, and immediately Len closed the door of classical, and fully immersed himself into the world of electronic music. 

It may or may not be common knowledge but Lewis’ designated name for his sound is, SiTH, Sinister Tech House, claiming it’s mysterious name after a Mixmag reviewer used this description for his music many years ago. “If my hairs stand up when I listen to a track...then it gets the ‘SiTH’ stamp of approval. I am trying to have fun with my music as well as consciously and subconsciously telling the story of life in my reality, in the form of frequencies and energy transference.” he says. 

Although other opportunities have arisen during Len’s spiralling quest, the music really does speak for itself, with a dedicated and committed producer at the heart of it all. After becoming disconnected from the artist he wanted to be in the early noughties, Len, turned his focus to family life, this is time he has enjoyed in the build up to his modern day resurrection. A pioneer of underground sounds and an inspiration to all, still carrying the same hunger and desire he was born into the game with.
