Biography:
As two members of Northern England's early '90s free party scene, Laurence Ritchie was a founding member of the Smokescreen sound system. He and Andy Riley who joined in '95 were firmly entrenched in the region's rich legacy of house music.

The crew of eight in total threw free, large-scale events at various locations across the English countryside. They also organized more legitimate events, such as nights in local clubs, and eventually took Smokescreen on tour, traveling across the European continent. All Smokescreen events featured deep house, with occasional back room sets of down tempo, jazz and funk. Working with Smokescreen piqued Laurence and Andy’s interest in producing music of their own.

Over the years Smokescreen fought hard to keep the anti-commercialism vibe of the free party scene alive, and still continue to this day to throw events purely for love of the music.

Their blend of jazz and funk, dynamic percussion and vocal hooks has been instrumental in catapulting the Inland Knights to international popularity. Their DJ sets are a fusion encompassing most styles of house, from dubby deep house, disco and garage to four-to-the-floor tech house.

As enthusiastic about DJ'ing as studio production Ritchie and Riley have maintained a relentless international touring agenda since their collaboration began. Their schedule has included visits to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, in addition to Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Chili, the U.S. and Russia as well as all over Europe.

This will be the second time to Big "D" for these lads. Let's show them how much we LOVE our HOUSE. No Texas heads should miss this one. If you can make the pilgramage it'll definately be worth the trip.
