Both Rietsch and Wagner have been active as producers since 2002 yet they formed the duo now known as Camo & Krooked after meeting at one of Rietsch's gigs in 2007. Their first collaboration was the track 'Play It' from Camo's 2007 single 'Drop It' and things simply escalated from there.

The real turning point for the duo can be traced back to the release of 2010 EP 'Edge of Mind' which received international support from huge renowned DJs such as Pendulum and Grooverider. They picked up the accolade of Best Newcomer DJs at the 2010 Drum & Bass Arena Awards and their reputation on the scene appeared to be cemented as one of the most exciting new acts.

They continued to experiment with a minimal techno and house music sound and released another EP entitled 'Pulse Of Time' which gained support from further celebrated artists including Andy C, Subfocus and High Contrast. 'Cross The Line' was released in the UK in 2011 and achieved moderate commercial success, breaking the top 200 of the albums chart. It was the duo's relentless appearances on the festival circuit that summer which helped build their fan base substantially and brought their music to new audiences.

They released the follow-up 'Zeitgeist' in 2013 and have continued to develop new material and sounds. They have also remixed music for a high calibre of artist including London Grammar, Lana Del Rey and even Jefferson Airplane. The future appears to be very exciting for the young duo as their reputation and skill mounts at a lightning pace.

Comprising Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie, Sigma were formed at the University of Leeds in 2006, where the pair were both students, and were both heavily involved in the underground drum and bass scene. Once they graduated, they moved to London, and initially became a three-piece with the introduction of Ben Mauerhoff - he’d later leave, though, due to logistical difficulties in 2008. That allowed the core pair to finally forge ahead with their plans for the group, beginning with the formation of their own label, Life Recordings.

After producing records for Hospital Records, they’d make their own entrance proper with two, two-part EPs; first, ‘Stand Tall’ in 2010, and then ‘Night & Day’ in 2011. The former year saw their commercial breakthrough - their collaboration with DJ Fresh, ‘Lassitude’, made number eleven on the UK dance chart. Since then, they’ve remixed tracks for artists as high-profile as Eric Prydz, Groove Armada, Skepta, Sway, and Ellie Goulding. Two singles with 3Beat in 2013 made an impression on the UK dance charts, but things stepped up to a whole other level a year later for the duo when they released their third collaboration with 3Beat, ‘Nobody to Love’ - it topped the UK singles charts.
