poor fella. he use to make such good music:( all this stuff on UK labels is the worse music i have heard.

should have stuck to the hardcore side of things, london techno trance is doing him no favors.

Industrial Movement is a collab label between him and Promo. He's been doing some different stuff as of late. Some of the techno stuff he's doing now is kinda cool. Bastard Loud is still putting stuff out. Plus, I think there's a new IST coming out soon.

[FuK-NuT]

u cant pigeon hole lenny....he's doing it all.

canni mix worth a hoot tho but all the same, Respect to the wee man!

Lenny started with Industrial Strength and then split it into ISR and IST and also has industrial movement which is half of I.S. and Third Movement in Holland, as well as bastardloud.

He's always played and represented techno. in fact he started out in disco, then house (just play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and turn on the SFUR acid house station to find one of his classics featured).

Being one of the main pioneers of Hardcore did have a -ve side. People forgot very quickly he was also a techno pioneer and was instantly pigeon-holed (unjustly) and has even been slagged for playing techno (probably by narrow-minded kids too young to remember his early days).

He's been pushing the techno side of things again recently to try and shake off some of that -ve pigeon-holeing by working with loads of people like K.Katz, Promo as well as collaborating on the London labels (Maximum Minimum, Powertools etc..) Ok, so he dosen't play or make the full on 303 madness of labels like Stay Up Forever but will hammer out some of the more techno-based imprints they have to offer.

Ok Serox, you may not like the recent collaborations and that's fine. Personal taste and all that..., but Lenny's never just stuck to Hardcore. He's always made and played music right across the board from disco to electro to the hardest, sickest s**t on the planet.

Me and Lenny are working on some KILLERS.

Mark my words.

And it's got nothing to do with London, I live in the BARRENS.

More news as it comes, but rest assured - IT IS BATTLE GEAR.

to be honest, i think he startd making more boring club techno around the same time Marc Acardipane stopped making hardcore.

i really think he would have been better off sticking to the hardcore stuff and leave this trance alone. :dontevengothere:

May not be the case for him, but I know it is for me. Simply, hardcore is dead in NYC. It's dead as a doornail and the crowd that would love to hear Lenny doing old IS style hardcore again most likely are kids who weren't their the first time around and are so dusted up that all they do is bring trouble. I kinda like the route he's taken. Certainly, I enjoyed his old hardcore tracks more, but I like the fact that he hasn't stuck to doing just that simply because a small minority expect him to. I heard some techno/electro stuff he's working on the other week which is pretty cool. Not so much my cup of tea but, for people into that sound, they will like it. Meanwhile, the whole time he's been doing this, he's been putting out new hardcore artists on the ISR, IST and Bastard Loud labels. He most likely could have just as easilly solicited tracks from all the old established IS acts to sell on a name and, instead, he took a bunch of unknowns and is continuing to do such releases at this moment just
because he likes the sound. I really don't know too many artists, who also run labels, that operate in such a manner. The love of popularity usually results in sticking to a formula and sticking with names. And, hell, when you live in a city where the sound you may be known for is practically non-existant and unappreciated by most, why bother continuing to write that shit? You just might not be feeling it in such a situation.
