2004 was a massive year for Simon Bassline Smith. Alongside Drumsound he produced the biggest track of the year for Grooveriders’ Prototype imprint. The mighty ‘Odyssey’ went on to hit the number one spot in the UK dance chart. Last year also saw a debut artist album from the Drumsound & Bassline Smith collaboration, and a string of releases on Renegade Hardware, Creative Source, Timeless and of course their own Technique Recordings.

The momentum shows no sign of halting in 2005. With Breakbeat Kaos and Liquid V releases imminent, and remix projects are already delivered for Ganja and Breakbeat Kaos, their attention has turned to a series of EP’s entitled ‘The Valley of The Kings’ set to drop on Technique across the spring and summer months.

Alongside a pioneering production career which spans across the last decade, Simon has been representing his sound around the globe since the inception of hardcore and Drum & Bass.

As a DJ, it all started in the early 1990’s playing for legendary dance organizations such as: - Perception, Methology, Rain Dance, Dance ’91 and World Dance. It was around this time that Simon started one of the first D&B labels ‘Absolute2’. He introduced and established producers such as Doc Scott and Nookie before concentrating on his own productions. ‘Palomino’ ‘Jungle’ ‘Music’ and ‘Life’ were all seminal tracks in what was just becoming D&B.

Over the past few years Bassline Smith has secured his place in the D&B premiership. His Technique imprint goes from strength to strength and his heavyweight DJ sets have spread the Technique sound over every continent. In recent months his appearances have spanned America, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Russia, Iceland, Spain, Holland, Sweden, Ireland, Brazil, Poland, Switzerland, Uruguay, Norway, Italy as well representing for some of the biggest UK organisations such as Slammin Vinyl, Accelerated Culture, One Nation, Detonate, Movement – the list goes on.

Bassline Smith’s heavyweight DJ style is a full on assault of cutting edge Drum & Bass set to smash up the dancefloors.
