The guys have just returned from supporting the Streets on their latest tour, are headlining Glade in a few weeks time, already booked to play Camden Crawl, Glastonbury and the Royal bleedin Albert bloody Hall!!!
Their latest release 'Reach You' is already a summer classic and the combined total of views on youtube for the bands releases is now well over 1 million, no mean feat! To see what all the fuss is about and who Metro have been referring to as 'the next Massive Attack' check out the links below. The first is them playing a studio session for BBC Introducing at Maida Vaile, the second is their tune 'Reach You' which will stay in your head for days on end. Expect a storming rendition and a simply massive set on the night, this is going to be BIG!!!

★ DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH ★ (Technique Recordings)
------------------------------------------------
Now, we wanted to make sure that after ENGINE EARZ have blown your minds that we really drive this night home as one to remember. As such we needed to turn it over for the last hour to an act that will simply destroy the dancefloor. All killer, no filler. We have had to look no further that drum n bass superweights DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH. Seasoned dnb overlords these guys wont be taking any prisoners. Their latest tune 'Freak' is enjoying massive online support and is currently sitting neatly on Radio1's playlist! Annie Mac and MistaJam are currently all over these guys and quite rightly. Expect tearing basslines, impecable mixing and all sorts of soundsystem damaging wrongness!
