Tech 001 - 1999

It’s a big week for Drumsound & Bassline Smith as they finally catapult their epic 15 Years Of Technique album into the public realm. With 18 exclusive tracks from a wide range of Technique artists – both old friends and fresh faces – it’s a fitting way to celebrate a decade and a half in the game. Well, actually, a tiny a bit longer than a decade and a half…

“Officially our 15th anniversary was actually last year,” admits Simon Bassline Smith. “August 1999 is when it all started. It’s just taken us longer to get this album ready… It started off as an EP but ended up as an album of brand new tunes. We wanted it to be perfect so we’re half a year late but who’s counting?”

The only thing we’re counting is the amount of bangers Technique have delivered to the dance since 1999. We asked the guys to pick one stand out release from every year of business so far. Not only have they picked some absolute belters but they’ve plotted the development of the label and heavyweight D&B in the process.

Time of a history lesson, Technique style!

Drumsound: “The very first release. It was a pivotal moment. We actually met a year before this and decided to make some music because we thought it might be fun… It went better than we thought so we carried on working together.”

Bassline: “My history goes back into the 80s and is heavily influenced by the early jungle explosion, having an Akai S-1000 and speeding up hip-hop breaks. Hooking up with each other was an exercise in exploring a sound that was more than what we could do as individuals. Future Tech was like nothing we’d ever done before.

Drumsound: “We actually called ourselves Future Tech because we thought Drumsound & Bassline Smith was too long!”

In a landscape where concrete giants crumble faster than the sirens can fade, Nervorum transmits a digital distress signal called Shelter. Spanning eight movements, it unspools like a found footage diary of survival: the first thunderclap of drums yanks the listener awake beneath a blanket of dust, and the last sub-bass heartbeat drags a battered body across the threshold of an underground refuge.

Each piece is a freeze-frame in a single, urgent escape. Jagged breakbeats flicker like emergency strobes, fractured synths crackle with the static hum of radioactive fallout, and a coiling bass line exerts a gravitational pull toward safety. What begins as blind panic becomes deliberate momentum, as a weary pulse syncs with the mechanized rhythm of the ruins and transforms into an engine of resistance.

Shelter stands as a sonic chronicle of human tenacity—encoded, preserved, and released by Paperfunk Recordings at a moment when the concept of sanctuary feels more myth than memory. Within its eight digital chapters beats one unbroken message: even after the black rain, music remains a map, marking the single route out of the dark.

Next up on Lifestyle Music is something a little bit special. UK duo Volatile Cycle invite along a cohort of heavy-hitting producers for a quality exploration into the genre we all love. 

Volatile Cycle & Friends see the boys collaborate with Kyrist, Philth, Mean Teeth and newcomer Sam Harris, on a stunning selection of tunes. Spanning old-school tech, moody, modern neuro, luscious deep liquid, and hectic, aggressive drum & bass, there really is something for everyone. Technical proficiency is the backbone of the release, and on each tune the personality & style of the collaborators really come to the fore. The result is a devastating EP, showcasing the best sounds the scene has to offer at the minute.
