Sigma

Drum and bass
Drum and bass

Sigma is a Drum and bass act. Their sound grew out of Louisa Johnson, Kanye West, Take That, Quavo and Tinie Tempah. Those roots explain a lot about how Sigma arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Wilkinson, Hybrid Minds, Friction, High Contrast and Grafix, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ellie Goulding, Eric Prydz, Skepta, Sway and Stylo G, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Sigma, reaching back through Louisa Johnson and forward to Ellie Goulding.
