DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH BIO - 2026

The Drumsound & Bassline Smith pedigree runs deep.

As a team, they've occupied a top tier position in the drum 'n' bass scene since the

nineties but the roots were already well established by then. Before the Drumsound

combined with the Bassline, the first chapters of their story were already written.

You see, Simon Bassline Smith had been doing this for years before the team-up with

Drumsound. Coming up in the early eighties heyday of rare groove funk and soul, he's

been intimately associated with the UK underground music scene as it evolved from

soundsystem-led blues parties, to raves, festivals, and mainstream acceptance. And real

heads know about the Absolute2 label, with its string of releases in the pre-jungle rave

days from names like Doc Scott, Ray Keith, and even Orbital. The Bassline Smith

biography stretches through the entire history of hardcore, jungle, and drum 'n' bass.

"Drumsound" used to be a collective of six producers, with the torch now being carried by

Andy Wright. A classically-trained musician with and indie rock background, his musical

influences were already wide and varied before he even started making moves in DnB.

With that melding of styles - reminiscent of the earliest days of rave - perhaps it's no

wonder that, after only a year's worth of productions, the Drumsound crew were able to

catch the attention of already-legendary Simon Bassline Smith in 1998.

Since creating Technique Recordings in 1999, the combined powers of Drumsound &

Bassline Smith have made an indelible mark on drum 'n' bass, and dance music in

general. Scouring the globe for talent, they've helped turn artists like Tantrum Desire and

Document One into household names among DnB cognoscenti as well as bringing the

world music from luminaries like Roni Size, Crissy Criss, Matrix & Futurebound, The

Prototypes, Bladerunner and more.

And their own output has been equally impressive. Regularly played on national radio

stations and championed by influential tastekamers, their huge 'Wall of Sound' album

garnered them two UK Top 40 hits with Utah Saints collab 'What Can You Do for Me?' and

'Through the Night', helping lay the foundations for the boom in mainstream DnB

popularity. Their second album, 'Wardance', saw them return to their underground roots

and take us on a journey through their musical evolution. And more recent output across

multiple labels have gone even further, demonstrating just how many styles, flavours and

influences these veteran producers can bring to the table.

Of course, this success translates into huge demand for Drumsound & Bassline Smith

deejay sets. With a crazy worldwide schedule, including Technique Takeovers for brands

like Let it Roll and Fabriclive, sets at world-renowned events including Glastonbury, EDC

and Rampage, international bookings across North America, Asia, Australia and New

Zealand, those passport stamps just keep on coming. And that's before we even get to

their legendary Derby-based event promotion brand Interface.

Sharp A&R skills that have put Technique Recordings at the top table of drum 'n' bass

labels, regular A-list deejay and radio support for their music, and studio skills befitting

their long experience make Drumsound & Bassline Smith one of the premier acts in bass-

heavy music today.
