Norwich, UK – In the vibrant, ever-evolving landscape of underground electronic music, true pioneers often operate just below the surface, driven by an unyielding passion for the sound. Such is the story of Descent, the dynamic two-person DJ and production outfit hailing from Norwich, comprised of the formidable talents of Paul Todd and Tim Smith.

Far from fleeting trends, Descent’s journey is steeped in the rich history of UK dance culture. Both Paul and Tim have been fixtures on the scene since the late 90s, traversing the legendary dancefloors of London, the innovative hubs of Milton Keynes, and holding down the fort in their native Norwich, alongside vibrant scenes in Ipswich and Cambridge. Their story isn’t just about attendance; it’s about absorption, evolution, and a deep-seated respect for the roots that have nurtured their sound.

Tim Smith, in particular, carries the torch of true DJ heritage with his vinyl DJ skills. In an increasingly digital age, this commitment to the craft speaks volumes, hinting at a meticulous selection process and an innate understanding of the energy that only perfectly mixed wax can deliver. It’s a nod to the past, grounding their future-forward sound in an authenticity that modern audiences crave.

But Descent is far from a nostalgic act. While their roots run deep in the foundational rhythms of Jungle and classic Drum & Bass, their current focus sees them pushing the envelope into darker, more intricate territories. Both Paul and Tim are dedicated producers, channeling their decades of immersion into crafting deep, rolling neuro tracks. Think intricate basslines that burrow into your subconscious, razor-sharp percussion, and atmospheric depths that define the cutting edge of Neurofunk and its more profound, atmospheric cousin, Deep Neuro.

This synergy of profound historical appreciation and relentless sonic exploration defines Descent. They are not merely DJs; they are architects of sound, building new experiences from a bedrock of passion and expertise. Whether tearing up a club with a relentless set of rollers or unveiling their latest, meticulously sculpted production, Paul Todd and Tim Smith are a name to watch as they continue to solidify Norwich’s place on the global underground map.
