Source Direct is a drum and bass act from St Albans in the United Kingdom, consisting of Jim Baker and formerly Phil Aslett. Source Direct is often compared with ambient drum and bass artists such as LTJ Bukem and other Good Looking Records producers, but their work displays a much darker sonic landscape with more of an emphasis of percussive assaults of syncopated breakbeats.

  • The track, "Call & Response", appeared in a scene from the 1998 film "Blade" in which the track is being listened to, on headphones, by the villain, Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), whilst he searches a library's archives. However, the song did not appear on the film's soundtrack. In 2016 the track was remixed by HLNGR.
  • Their track "2097" was created especially for use on the CD soundtrack of the 1997 PlayStation game Wipeout 2097.
