18 Drum & Bass tracks & Mix by Drumsound & Bassline Smith


Yes, it really has been fifteen years since Future Tech (aka Drumsound & Bassline Smith) signalled the beginning of the Technique Recordings odyssey with their eponymous debut collaboration. Since then, the drum and bass sound has spread its tendrils from the dark corners of the underground into the limelight of mainstream appreciation. And Technique has been at the forefront of that evolution all the way. So, here's an LP to show the world exactly what a decade and a half among the top tier of D&B labels sounds like.

Label heads Drumsound & Bassline Smith take pole position, dropping straight into the drama of the Friction-supported “Spring Heel Jack”. Then comes another of Technique's most recognisable acts, Tantrum Desire with the low-down funk of “Shuffle”, followed by another Friction-favourite from the bossmen with “Sputnik”. The big names keep coming throughout the album, as Crissy Criss supplies the VIP of his monumental “Create the Future” and the mighty Digital goes dubbed-out with a remix of “Phantasm”. Plus Drumsound & Bassline Smith's alter-ego 2DB pass through with the highly-grimey “Terrahawk” and L Plus delivers two precision-engineered killers in the form of “Red Planet” and “Going Down”.

Flipping the script, Technique new boys Document One strike from two angles with the laid-back “Jazz Club” and the dirty dancefloor uppercut of “Body Like Wow”. TREi takes us to the big room with “Here & Now”, and the ever-individual MaxNRG shows off his ability to combine energy with melody on “Far Frontiers of Space”. Erb N Dub and Skope recruit Mr Dirty Smirks, MC SMK himself, to bring some typically hard bars to “Pull it Back”. Kronology does what it says on the tin with some “Razor Sharp” technoid-jungle vibes. And Aussie badman Spectrem brings some hands-in-the-air euphoria with “Say Goodbye” and then roughen things up with “The Future”. Infrasonik take the honour of completing the collection with “Bricks Breaking”. And finally, Drumsound & Bassline Smith step back up for a lap of honour with a mix of all the tracks from the LP.

From the veteran headliners to the breakthrough talent, from the filthy rave-wreckers to the stadium-sized anthems, this album demonstrates the versatility and innovation that has kept Technique Recordings' status for all this time. So, better get set, another fifteen years at the top of the game starts right now.

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!”

Kronology - Timelapse EP
PreOrder http://smarturl.it/TECH117
Release date: 29th March 2015


If you’ve been keeping your eye on the Los Angeles D&B scene, then you’ll know all about Slogun and iOh. Hailed as “Ones to Watch” by Kmag in 2013, their deep respect for junglist history and culture has fuelled a steady rise to prominence both as DJs and producers. Now, they’re ready to take the next step, and make their mark on the international scene
as part of the Technique roster. 

So, after the warning shot of Razor Sharp on the 15 Years of Technique LP, it’s time to welcome the team now known as Kronology with their first full release.

You & Me kicks off proceedings in an unmistakeably US style. Evolving house keys establish the percussive heart of the track as classic synth tones add a touch of euphoria. Then a rising siren provides a call to action, delivered on by a funk-filled pizzicato bass and ultra-crisp drums. With this one, Kronology manage to balance an effortless, liquid vibe with rolling rhythms that aim straight at the dance floor.

On Submerge, Kronology team up with some fellow Los Angelians, the DJs, live performers and producers Divine Elements. The result is some highly grimy bass and mightily hard drums all topped off with some finely chopped samples. At its core, this track is all about that rhythmic motif in the low-end, an irresistible rave engine which this production supergroup constantly disassemble and re-engineer to keep this fresh from beginning to end.

Then Kronology recruit the singer-songwriter known as Without My Armor, to show a whole new facet to their work. Monster opens into a claustrophobic atmosphere, with dark pads vying for space with the vocals and creating a level of tension that begs for relief. And that relief comes as the bassline and counter-balancing mid-range bursts onto the scene. The contrast between the constricted metal influence that weaves through the track and the open, big-room sound gives this a vibe all of its own.

So Kronology have arrived, and they’ve got some flavours that you might not have heard before. While fully immersed in drum and bass music, they’ve brought their own influences of American EDM, house, punk and metal to work into the formula. Straight out of the San Fernando Valley, here’s something new for the D&B scene, encapsulated in their first release, the Timelapse EP.

Kronology - You & Me  ( Friction Exclusive 1st Play)

2dB - Check Out The Bounce / Quaalude
iTunes: smarturl.it/TECH118 
Beatport bit.ly/2dBCheckQuaalude
12th April 2015
When the mighty Drumsound and Bassline Smith adopt their 2DB persona you know there’s some serious rave destruction coming. While the label bosses have played
an integral part in the rise of the big-room D&B sound,
they’ve still got their roots in the underground. This raw and gritty guise recently surfaced on the monumental 15 Years of Technique album to deliver the vicious Terrahawk, and now there’s something new for filth-connoisseurs to get their ears around.

As we get into Check Out The Bounce, we’re left in no doubt that this is meant to raise the temperature in the rave. A gangsta staccato synth pattern, undercurrents of squelching bass and an eponymous vocal sample signal that it’s time to step up on the floor. The drop delivers a powerful dose of twisting and fluctuating bass, emphasised by a sparse and insistent beat. This is music to move to, pure and simple.
Quaalude is anything but a sedative. A seductive cloud of atmospheric strings creates a hands-in-the-air vibe, punctured and reshaped by a synth riff in the high end. This riff drives us all the way into the drop of serrated bass, reforming again into part of the rhythm pattern. This track takes sounds on a journey, recontextualising them along the way. And the party is taken along for the ride, effortlessly gliding from laidback to rave-mode.

Here are two more reasons why the 2DB name is an undisputed seal of dancefloor quality. This production team is constantly able to modulate their formula, creating multiple vibes and moods to reinterpret their genre. In short, if it’s 2DB, you know it’s going to be big.

Killer Hertz - Gigantic [VPR374]

Let’s try something different.

That’s how this one starts, and it felt like the right way to kick off my first solo release of 2025 on my label - Banished Beats.

Been really chuffed with the feedback on this one so far. Big love to Andy C, Basstripper, Kaz, and Degs for the early support. Proper wicked start to something Different 🚀

Different is a jump-up face melter with a bit of weight behind it - distorted mids, tight percussion, and a mixdown that’s clean but still hits hard. Built with DJs in mind, made for fast blends, double drops, and loud systems.

Appreciate the support as always. More to come very soon.
