Technique News:
Drumsound & Simon Bassline Smith have made some of the most vital dancefloor drum and bass music of the last few years. Releases like Odyssey (Prototype) Killa DJ (Breakbeat Kaos), Rasta Blasta (Liquid V) and their Nature Of The Beast LP on Technique has proved beyond doubt they’re part of the A-list when it comes to cutting-edge drum and bass.
2006 sees the duo launch one of their most impressive projects to date. The second long player sees Drumsound & Bassline Smith move from an artist album to a compilation based package. This has enabled them to select tracks from some of the leading names in the industry including a cut from Roni Size who very rarely releases anything outside of the Full Cycle / V Records camps. Big-hitters Fresh, Friction, J Majik & Wickerman, A.I, Tali plus Technique stalwarts Skyver & Djon and Drumsound & Bassline Smith are also set to feature.
The heavyweight sampler Booty Call by Bassline Smith & Drumsound b/w Roni’s Bus Stop is due in March with the full vinyl LP due in April before the CD touches down in May. The diaries are already filling up in anticipation for the Street Technique World Tour. Please contact:
