Raw Theory consists of two drum n bass dj’s from Stourbridge in the west midlands, Laze (Tim Smith) and Dash (Ash Lamb). The duo first crossed paths in 2003 when, not knowing each other, they enrolled on a music technology course. Being like minded they got on easily, became pals and regularly went round each others houses and rinsed out the chaotic sounds of dnb. Once the course was over, Laze and Dash saw little of each other, occasionally crossing paths at local DnB nights in the area. The scene in Stourbridge slowly died and gradually the lads lost contact and they went their separate ways doing bits of djing where they could. It was only up until 3 years later, when myspace came on the scene that the lads found each other again and they had been busy producing tracks in their bedroom. Liking what each other were doing the lads started to bond again immediately. Dash had also started his own dnb/electro night High Voltage in Wordsley, getting down names such as Kut - D, The Force, CKB, DJ Escape, Allgood and Biglove, whilst Laze picked up a residency at Diskconnected in Birmingham. Anyway, Laze was invited by Dash to come down and play a set at High Voltage, and realizing that they played the same style as each other (a mixture of everything) gradually they started playing back to back and also started to produce some heavy tunes that were getting noticed and played by more than a few dj’s on the circuit. Its still early days for the lads, but if u get the chance to listen to Raw Theory, you’ll clearly see that they are an act to look out for. The future is looking bright and now that they have joined Aftershock Radio (Monday Nights 9-11pm GMT) and 99.2FM Dream UK (Thursday nights 8 -10pm GMT - MIDLANDS), as well as Cyntax Error Records (part of the Nu-Breed Crew), the whole world can listen to what a talented drum n bass collaboration these two young hopefuls really are.

A/Katharsys-Mute (Counterstrike remix) AA/Dub Elements-El Momento
12" vinyl & digital download
After a short spell behind bars, Sanchez is back out and up to no good again... In between 2 horse thefts he's managed to get his unwashed hands on some of the most sickening beats out there!
The mighty Counterstrike add an extra layer of dirt to Katharsys's already disgusting "Mute"... This tune packs enough punch to blow up any bank safe with its terrorizing drums and earth-shaking bassline. Alternatively you can also use it to wreak havoc at your local saloon/club!
On the flip, new-skool Spanish filth-mongers Dub Elements bring more madness than a barrel of Mezcal with "El Momento". Hard-hitting drumwork combined with a bassline that has more twists than a telenovela will ensure a collective frenzy whenever dropped!
Sanchez says:"Listening to this 3rd release makes me want to set fire to things, I'm that happy! Enjoy, putos!"
Available at all good record stores, release date: 11/05/2009
