Source Direct

Source Direct

Source Direct is a drum and bass band from St Albans in the United Kingdom, consisting of Phil Aslett and Jim Baker. Source Direct's music would best be described as dark drum and bass, with a similar sensibility to Photek, but with a slightly harder edge. They are often compared with ambient drum and bass artists such as LTJ Bukem and other Good Looking Records producers, but their work displays a much more percussive assault than the laid-back jungle artists. They described their work as music made in the present for listening at any given time, quoting Goldie's "Timeless" album as a perfect way to sum up what they meant.

The duo produced singles for a variety of different labels: Metalheadz, Basement, Certificate 18, Odyssey, Street Beats, Good Looking Records, and their own Source Direct label. They also released singles under other names, such as Intensity, Sounds of Life, and Oblivion. Aslett had left the group by the end of 1999, but Baker still records under the Source Direct moniker.
