Source Direct

Source Direct hosted a guest show on 24 July 2014. Source Direct has been played over 100 times on NTS, first on 29 November 2012. Source Direct's music has been featured on 97 episodes.

Source Direct were a jungle / drum & bass production outfit from St. Albans in the United Kingdom, consisting of Phil Aslett and Jim Baker. Their music would best be described as a combination of intensely complex, compressed drum edits, often suffused with a synthesis of menacing soundscapes and jazz-funk samples. They were largely considered to possess a similar production sensibility to Photek, but with a more pronounced, often hostile edge.

The bulk of their output was released during the mid to late 90s through an assortment of different labels, including: Odyssey, Certificate 18, Street Beats, Metalheadz, Basement, Good Looking Records, Science, and their own Source Direct Recordings imprint. They also released singles under an array of pseudonyms, such as: Hokusai, Mirage, Sounds of Life, Intensity, X-Files and Oblivion.

Aslett and Baker parted ways acrimoniously at the end of 1999 - citing serious creative and personal differences. They would never work together again.
