Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie aka Sigma, have been making their
presence felt on the drum and bass scene since 2007. From early releases
on labels such as Charge and Viper Recordings, to the seminal All Blue
on Zinc’s Bingo imprint (one of DNBA’s most downloaded tracks ever), the
boys stepped up to the big time with serious dancefloor killers Paint
It Black and the anthem El Presidente VIP.
With
respect now gained with the scene as producers and highly sought after
DJs, Sigma continue working to maximise their profile within the realms
of D&B and beyond it. Highlights include their featured minimix for
Annie Mac on Radio One, squeezing in 35 tracks in five minutes as well
as remix work for artists such as Top Cat on Special Dedication, Ms
Dynamite, and grime stalwart Skepta on Rescue Me (400,000 plays and
counting). In amongst all the music and DJ gigs the guys found time to
start their own label, Life Recordings, with debut release El Presidente
VIP/ Something Special going on to be Nu-Urban’s highest selling
release of 2009. They were also awarded Best Breakthrough DJs at the
Drum & Bass Arena awards. A great way to cap off a successful year,
and more recognition of Cam and Joe’s hard work and dedication to their
craft.
With a new decade now here Sigma are intent on leaving
their indelible mark etched permanently on the scene. Kicking off 2010
with Shut The Lights Off with Adam F and hip hop legend Redman, this is
followed by their debut release for Breakbeat Kaos… The Stand Tall EP.
Consisting of four tracks, it’s Sigma quality and diversity all the way
through. From the dancefloor stylings of Original Sin’s remix of Front
To Back and brain thumping anthem The Jungle to the more melodic vibes
on Baltimore and the vocodered vox on Stronger, The Stand Tall EP covers
all bases. Confirmation of this is shown by the fact three of the EPs
four tracks feature on the Ministry of Sound compilation CD entitled
Mixed…. By DJ Friction, along with Paint It Black VIP. To add to all of
this is the exciting collaboration with BBK head honcho and D&B
legend DJ Fresh on Cylon. An unadulterated stomper of the highest order,
Cylon, supported by the likes of Andy C and Goldie, is the lead track
from Fresh’s latest long player Kryptonite.
What else to look
forward to from Sigma? Well, there’s more episodes of their Life
Podcasts. Utilising this wide reaching medium as a platform to further
showcase their and other artists talents, previous guests include
Goldie, Original Sin, DJ Fresh, IC3 and The Nextmen. Also keep an eye
out for Sigma’s video diary on You Tube.
