Sigma - sometimes represented simply by the corresponding character of the Greek alphabet - are a British drum and bass duo, hailing from Leeds, England.
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.
