Biography

With so many drum'n'bass producers increasingly shifting toward a lowest common (often dancefloor) denominator, it has often been from the fringes that inspiration comes. From their earliest material for Recordings of Substance to their Squid Ink album for Trevor Jackson's Output and releases for their own Non-Applicable imprint, Ollie Bown and Sam Britton have carved their own route through the audio jungle. Their work is consistently challenging, bursting from the sonic tree line, clutching the very sharpest of platinum breaks with often abstract percussion balanced and warmed through by way of rich instrumentation.
