Inland Knights Bio...
Djs, Producers and label owners, Andy Riley and Laurence Ritchie AKA
Inland Knights
hail from Nottingham UK, a city with a rich musical legacy, particularly
for house
music.
They met in 93 and cut their teeth Djing for Smokescreen, the renegade
soundsystem
from which they drew their early inspiration. Smokescreen consisted of djs,
lighting people, sound people, a truck, a P.A, a generator and general
helpers. Old
warehouses, woodland, fields, quarries and houses were utilised with the sole
intention of having a good time
. for free! By the mid 90s smokescreen could
guarantee a crowd of hundreds in attendance at their parties, and their
club nights
became local institutions that ran for years with packed dancefloors, and
still do
to this day!.
By 98 Laurence and Andy had made the inevitable step into production and
the same
year the Dropmusic label was born with the release of Inland Knights vol
1. As
Inland Knights Riley and Ritchie undertook a busy schedule in the studio
to write
tracks for Drop (almost all of the early output was entirely Inland
knights, despite
many monikers).
Dropmusic has gone on to become one of the most highly regarded house
labels in
recent years(with 60 plus releases to date), and Inland knights have gone
on to
become one of the most respected production outfits in the house world,
regularly
taking on remix duties for fellow labels and producers. Highlights include
the
accliamed Mohammed Ali remix for Faithless on Cheeky Records, cd
compilations and
remixes for NRK and Om Records, Inland Knights first full length album
entitled
Creative Spaces, and more recently Inland Knights album to mark 10 years of
Dropmusic entitled Dust till Dawn.
Currently, as well as remix and production commitments, the pair maintain
a busy
international Dj ing shedule, and can be found most weekends playing
somewhere in
the UK or Europe, as well as regular visits to the U.S, Australia, New
Zealand and
South Africa.
Andy also records under the Toka Project pseudonym , and Laurence under
the alias
Larry Fives.
