Armed with two BRIT’s nominations for
Best Single and
Best Video, Sigma, aka
Cameron Edwards and
Joe Lenzie, have revealed their first release for
2015, ‘Higher’, featuring
Labrinth. ‘Higher’ will be premiered this Friday (16/01/15) across radio and will be released on 22 March; the track will precede a further single and their debut artist album entitled, ‘Life’ (expected early summer).
2014 was Sigma’s most successful year to date, capped with their first TV live performances at the
BBC Music Awards and the
Christmas Day edition of
Top Of The Pops, plus their appearance at
Capital’s
Jingle Bell Ball and a co-headline slot at
UKF’s
New Year’s Eve event at
Brixton Academy.
They were the only group in 2014 to have back-to-back
No.1 singles in the form of ‘
Nobody To Love’ and ‘
Changing’ (featuring
Paloma Faith), with both shifting over
100,
000 copies in their first week. Sigma have now sold 1.75 million singles worldwide in just 10 months, gone
Platinum in the UK (‘
NTL’) and
Gold for ‘Changing’ in
Germany, and
Benelux, and Platinum in
Australia and New Zealand (‘NTL’). They’ve hit 432,844 worldwide radio plays and reached a radio audience of 1 billion, and held the
UK TV Airplay Chart No.1 spot for 11 weeks combined. ‘Nobody To Love’ recently became the first drum & bass track to hit
100 million YouTube views, with the tally for both singles fast approaching
120 million.
2015 festival bookings include Snowbombing,
Future Music Festival and
Electric Daisy Carnival. These follow 2014 shows across the UK,
Europe,
USA and
Australia, including two sold out dates at
Ministry of Sound,
Glastonbury,
Global Gathering,
Ibiza Rocks and Bestival.
With stunning vocals from Labrinth, ‘Higher’ also sees Sigma once again collaborating with UK songwriting giants
TMS and
Wayne Hector (with whom they made ‘Changing’).
Outside of their own releases, Sigma have shored up their reputation as an in demand remix duo, with 2014 mixes for the likes of
Kiesza (‘
Hideaway’),
Route 94 (‘
My Love’),
Clean Bandit (‘
Extraordinary’),
DJ Fresh (‘
Dibby Dibby Sound’)
and DJ Zinc (‘Show Me’).
Leeds University alumni – alongside
Rusko – Sigma met while balancing raving and studying, working in record shops and promoting events to top up their student loans.
Early releases with
Hospital Records,
Viper,
Bingo and DJ Fresh’s
Breakbeat Kaos, as well as their own Life
Recordings, quickly marked them out as producers to watch, while remixes for
Eric Prydz,
Ellie Goulding,
Stylo G and
Sway began to take them to a wider audience.
