Peacefrog proudly present the first ever artist album from one of Underground Resistance's most consistent & sought-after foot soldiers.

James Pennington AKA the Suburban Knight has been heavily involved in the roots of Detroit's most influential export since it's conception in the eighties.

Part of Kevin Saunderson's 'Inner City' when they had their two biggest hits 'Big Fun' & 'Good Life' James went on to record two classics for Derrick May's fledgling Transmat label - 'The Groove' & 'Art Of Stalking'.

James' penchant for making dark & melodic techno soon lead him to the infamous doors of Mike Banks & Jeff Mills' UR collective, where he was to have arguably his biggest hit to date 'Nocturbulus Behaviour'.

Since these early days his releases have been less frequent than many of his peers, but always timeless & crucial. 'My Sol Dark Direction' is an accumulation of 17 years worth of contributions to the world of dance music. A masterpiece of house, techno & electronics, featuring time honoured classics & new flawless productions.

This is a must for anyone with the slightest interest in dance music, an "essential lesson" in the history of house.

Release date: 28 April 2003
