Radio City

Picture the scene, a pub in Cantrill Farm (now known as Stockbridge Village), someone's 21st, a buffet (the sausage rolls were stale) and a big massive fight at the end, yes... that was Lee's first ever gig in the Phoenix, what a way to start your career!

It was in the State that Lee's friends came up with the now legendary Monster Jam nights. Locking out every week and by now Lee was creating a style of DJ'ing all of his own, with his now famous accapella use creeping into his mixing more and more, soon Lee was being chased by all the major clubs in the North West.

The lure of a fresh challenge and a new night meant Lee would be the new resident/promoter of the Buzz club in Lime St. The State then closed down within 6 months of Lee leaving! It was at the Buzz Lee started his crazy club night's best of British and soon the Buzz was up there with the best of them, locking out every Friday and Saturday, and every dance fan was playing Lee Butler tapes on the car stereo as they drove around the city.

Lee was now playing at gigs and clubs all over the North West; Wigan Pier, Bowlers, Maxines, The Pleasure Drome & Mr Smiths are just a few of the big name venues Lee was being asked to rock the rafters at week after week. It was at this time the 051 came in with an offer Lee couldn't refuse and so Lee made the move from Lime Street to Mount Pleasant and the 051 was the new place to be. In partnership with Dave Graham, Lee was about to embark on the latest chapter of his tour around the club scene, and again it is no coincidence that within 6 months of Lee leaving the Buzz, it closed its doors for good.  051 were packing them in, and the new buzz on the streets was a phenomenon called Sexy Medicine, the rest is history, and Lee is riding the crest of a wave. Who can also ever forget the legendary Fri nights 'Sex' at Garlands where Lee Butler and Dave Graham rocked the house every weekend. Oh the memories !!

Lee's Plastic Surgery show was born when Lee started his show from our then new home - St Johns Beacon. It became The North West's most listened to Friday Night Dance Show and so Lee’s Sat night show was then born.
Lee is also very busy in the Studio working on his own tracks and has had major releases on AATC records.
