Sigma

The duo had worked within drum and bass before Nobody to Love reached a much larger audience in 2014. The record reworked the central vocal idea from Kanye West's Bound 2, turning it into a concise, high-lift dance single. Its success was followed by Changing, with Paloma Faith, which made the relationship between a distinctive singer and the rhythmic production even more explicit.

Life appeared in 2015, gathering those tracks with Higher, featuring Labrinth, and Glitterball, featuring Ella Henderson. The guests did not merely provide interchangeable hooks. Each voice changed the weight and character of the record, while the duo supplied a production framework able to move from a comparatively exposed opening toward a much larger rhythmic release.

Hope followed in 2022, with collaborators including John Newman, Jack Savoretti and LOWES. The gap between albums did not mean the project had remained inactive; the catalogue had continued through singles and collaborations, a format well suited to producers whose work changes with the singer in front of the microphone.

Later material, including the Adrenaline Rush recordings, retained a close connection to rave and sound-system energy. The most persuasive Sigma tracks make the pop chorus feel like a necessary part of that energy rather than a concession added above it. A short vocal phrase can provide the emotional reason for the build, while the drums turn that reason into something a room can physically share.
