Ahead of their Rise Festival appearance, we caught up with the dynamic twosome, talking achievements, what to expect from their forthcoming album, and if you’ll find them on the ski slopes.

Notorious duo Sigma – consisting of Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie – have become undeniably one of the key players in a flourishing and progressive D&B scene. Since their huge 2014 breakout hit, “Nobody to Love,” the pair from gone from strength-to-strength, venturing outside the D&B jurisdiction with pop collaborations with the likes of Paloma Faith, Rita Ora and The Chainsmokers; all coming to a head for their forthcoming, long-awaited debut album, London Sound.

The debut LP from the Brit Award-nominees is set to make a splash when it’s to finally reaches our ears in late January. We’ve had some heavy hitting teaser singles featuring household names; from slick smash hit “Adrenaline Rush” with superstar-in-the-wings MORGAN, to the mood and immersive cut “The Corner” with rising UK singer-songwriter Joe Devlin and party anthem “Going Out To The Ravers” with Everyone You Know. The duo have illustrated their eclectic approach and carved their place in the scene – now they look set to cement a legacy.

In the run up to the album, Sigma will be joining an all-star line up for Rise Festival, a ski-electronic-music extravaganza set to take place next week in the Alps in Southern France. Featuring alongside the likes of Bicep, Hybrid Minds and Hannah Laing, the festival is set to be a party like no other, full of great music, vibes and sport.
