History
Originally the act consisted of two childhood friends, James Baker[4] and Phil Aslett.[5][6] Due to differences between the pair, however, it became entirely a solo project of Baker's in 1999, after the release of Exorcise the Demons.[7][8]
Source Direct's music uses complex and irregular breakbeats, snappy and precise hi-hats, dark atmospheric sampling and abstract song structures.[7][9]
Source Direct have released music on a variety of record labels: Metalheadz,[10] Science (Virgin Records),[7] Good Looking Records, Astralwerks, Basement, Certificate 18, Odysee, Street Beats and the self-owned Source Direct Recordings. They have released singles under the names Intensity, Sounds of Life, Oblivion, Mirage, X-Files and Hokusai.[11]
Despite not being featured on the officially released soundtrack, Source Direct gained recognition for the track "Call & Response" which was used in the horror movie Blade.[12][13] The track, originally a single, was later included on their EP Controlled Developments, and on their album Exorcise the Demons.[9] Source Direct contributed the track "2097" to the CD soundtrack of the PlayStation game Wipeout 2097, released in 1996.[14]
Fact included Exorcise the Demons in its "The 100 Best Albums of the 1990s".[7]
