Faze Action is a British band. They are headed up by brothers Simon and Robin Lee.
Over the years Faze Action blended electronica with classical, pan-African, and latin music. Their music is also heavily influenced by funk, disco, and jazz.
The Lee brothers grew up in Amersham in the London commuter belt, they were both interested in music from an early age, Robin went on to study music at Goldsmiths College in London.
The pair collaborated for the first time to produce the Original Disco motion EP in 1995. Shortly afterwards Simon moved to Osaka in Japan to work as an English teacher, meanwhile the success of their debut EP won them a contract with Nuphonic Records. The pair then in 1996 produced a single called "In the Trees", which is still probably their most famous track. In conjunction with the reissue in the winter of 2007, a number of remixes were also released by Carl Craig, Jerome Sydenham & Tiger Stripes.
After Simon returned to the UK, the pair released their first album; Plans and designs. The pair have subsequently released a number of singles and albums, their tracks have been remixed by the likes of Rae and Christian and Cinematic Orchestra.
In the United States, an album, Moving Cities, was licensed to F-111/Warner Bros. Records.
