Drum & Bass would not be the same without DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH (aka Andy Wright, Benjamin Wiggett and Simon Bassline Smith). Together the trio have body-slammed dancefloors from Derby to Durban and entrenched themselves as three of the finest Drum & Bass tastemakers on the planet courtesy of the blue chip label Technique Recordings – an imprint that celebrated ten years of killer dance floor joints back in 2009.

As Drumsound & Bassline Smith they’ve enjoyed a firestarting musical synergy that’s played a pivotal role in taking Drum & Bass to the next level and carved out a patented ‘Technique sound’ in the process. In 1998 they were asked to complete a CD of samples for the respected LOOPMASTERS SERIES laying testament to their original approach to beat construction. 

In 2004 their ‘ODYSSEY’ banger was judged MIXMAG’s 10th best all-round dance anthem of the year and hit no.1 on the UK charts. 

Drumsound & Bassline Smith are also in hot demand from the most respected heads at Radio One and 1XTRA and enjoy regular flogging on the airwaves from Fabio & Grooverider, Zane Lowe, Mista Jam, Annie Nightingale And Annie Mac. The trio is one of the few set of artists to complete multiple mixes for the famed RADIO ONE, with a whisper of a request to complete a coveted Essential Mix in 2010. “We love them and have been supporting them since day one,” Mac tells.
