Absolutely ravenous human beings these fellows! The 90s would've been absolutely DULL without 'em, let me tell you.

I'm sure Goldie referred to them as some sort of Cell that mutated from Photek, anyway their releases got cained by anyone and everyone back in the day and I still enjoy playing them.
The thing about SD was the breadth of styles they produced with in D&B, whatever sound they took on they made it their own and surpassed their peers in quality of execution, from dark amen heavy tunes to melodic pad laden chill they nailed it.

Under Rupert Parkes expert tutelage, these gents took jungle to a whole new place. Prior to the Source Direct/Photek (and a little bit Doc Scott as well, though not as much), there was a strict dance-ethic. I feel that many of the Source Direct tunes are not (and really never were) dance floor friendly. But that's ok. They are true works of art. They took programming, editing and sequencing to new heights. And when you compare production in any EDM style circa 1995, there was no one creating sequences as complex and precise as Source Direct (and Photek). It really boggles my mind to imagine these complex patterns being made on hardware samplers! Hours and hours and hours of pushing little buttons. Respect.

The kings of editing an "Amen Break" Had a totaly unique sound meaning there tunes were both hard but had depth and musical input. Had releases on all the big labels at the time aswell as there own labels. Would recomend everything they did between 94-96 however be ready to pay as there stuff can be pretty expensive to pick up.

The sleeve notes to Platinum Breakz III as well as the artist profile on allmusic.com indicate that Phil Aslett left Source Direct towards the end of 1999, leaving Jim Baker to run proceedings alone. Evolving from Photek's shadow both musically and geographically, Source Direct took drum & bass somewhere dark (darker than No U-Turn's take on the world) with almost disturbing productions combining ill-boding atmospherics with non-standard time beats, breaks, and bass. One of a small number of drum & bass artists to record a full-length album (1999's 'Exorcise The Demons') their standout tracks include 'Capital D' and 'Stonekiller' - the latter comparable to a musical journey though Dante's Inferno.
