Lenny Dee

I have a soft spot for artists who refuse the easy path, and Lenny Dee is exactly that. Starting as a Brooklyn house DJ in the 1980s, he could have ridden the wave to the mainstream. Instead he kept pushing toward harder, more uncompromising sounds, techno and gabber, and in 1991 founded Industrial Strength to do it on his own terms. That's not a careerist move; it's a conviction. He may never top a chart, but underground credibility like his is earned, not bought. The fact that he's still active on social media tells me the fire hasn't dimmed. A true craftsman of the night.

Lenny Dee (born 1968) is the performing name of Leonard Didesiderio, a DJ based in New York City. Starting as a house DJ in the 1980s, Dee quickly moved towards harder sounds such as techno and gabber. He set up the well respected record label Industrial Strength in 1991.
