It was also at The Palace during the summer of 1987 that a group of visitors turned Burridge on to London's emerging acid house sound which would shape his career and define a path to this day. He played weekly and was introduced to the art of mixing records by one of the club's other resident DJs, Wayne Rideout. Soon after that, Burridge began performing every weekend at the local town's nightclub where he played mostly chart music while also entertaining the crowd with his antics behind the decks as well as on the microphone.īurridge's first true big break came when he landed a residency at an award-winning club called The Palace in Somerset. Working as a mobile DJ led to a seasonal opportunity at a local holiday resort. Shortly thereafter, with the help of his father, Burridge started his own mobile DJ operation, "Cutz" and spent the next few years travelling the surrounding countryside villages and towns playing weddings, birthday parties and even the occasional funeral. He played for the first time at The New Inn, a bar owned and run by his parents at the time. Lee Burridge's DJ career began in the tiny tourist village of Eype in the county of Dorset on 26 December 1983.
