Lee Bannon is a talented artist known for his unique blend of hip-hop and electronic music. With influences ranging from 9th Wonder to Madlib, Bannon has created a sound that is both innovative and captivating. His music combines intricate beats with soulful melodies, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

Bannon's style can be described as a fusion of underground hip-hop and experimental electronica. Drawing inspiration from artists like *Blu & Exile* and *Apollo Brown*, he has developed a distinct sound that sets him apart from his peers. His tracks are filled with intricate drum patterns, atmospheric textures, and catchy hooks that will leave you wanting more.

In addition to his solo work, Bannon has collaborated with various artists in the industry such as *JR & PH7* and *Chuuwee*. These collaborations have allowed him to further explore different genres and push the boundaries of his own creativity. Whether he's producing for other artists or working on his own projects, Bannon consistently delivers high-quality music that resonates with listeners.

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

Rather than a departure, 'Pattern of Excel' can only be considered a continuation of Lee Bannon's proven flexibility and commitment to innovation and progression. Few artists can say they've found success in so many circles yet claimed allegiance to none. Even fewer have either the innate ability or even the confidence to make such bold stylistic leaps, to soak up the digital torrent of the global music underground and re-imagine it with such veracity. His sophomore LP on Ninja Tune, 'Pattern of Excel', again signals a movement away from the ground he's already covered and toward his own vision of the leftfield future. Gone are the rapidfire breaks and growling b-lines of his debut, replaced instead by a considered exploration of ambient soundscapes and drone influences. Though less immediately demanding of the listener's attention, 'Pattern of Excel' shines in its quietude: the bokeh which filters through 'Artificial Stasis', the distant but steady build of 'Memory 6', the strings sadly quavering into a melody on 'Disneµ Girls'.LP - 180 Gram black vinyl LP in outer sleeve with 3mm spine, plus Bannon's 'LB' logo and 'Pattern Of Excel' embossed in Braille across the front with Download.
