About Particle
With a stripped-back style taking cues from early jungle, techno and breakbeat, Particle (aka Alex Smith) has spent the last half decade establishing himself as one of drum & bass music’s most intriguing producers. Since debuting on Critical Music back in 2019, the South Londoner has continued to refine his unique take on the D&B template, with a raft of single releases for the imprint shouldered by music for the likes of Shogun Audio, Hospital Records and Drum&BassArena - plus remixes for D&B heavyweights including Hybrid Minds, Skeptical, Sam Binga and Enei. Beyond his work as a producer, Particle’s name has found space among the headliners on the iconic stages of The Warehouse Project, Printworks and Boomtown, while selling out club events from New Zealand to Bristol. 2024 sees Particle moving up the levels and taking his sound further than ever before with the release of his debut album, ‘Pyro’, on Critical and a bunch of remixes locked into the calendar, punctuated by a monthly show on Kool FM, dozens of DJ gigs and festival performances and even a debut tour of Canada.
