Bomb the Bass was the creation of the British musician Tim Simenon. His first single "Beat Dis" from the album Into the Dragon was a number two hit in the UK and was one of the first songs to introduce the mainstream to sampling culture (along with songs by M/A/R/R/S and S'Express). The song "Megablast" from the album was also used in the computer game Xenon 2 Megablast. Other hits include a cover of the Aretha Franklin track "Say a Little Prayer" and "Don't make me wait". The UK Top10-Hit "Winter in July" is from their second album "Unknown Territory". Their third album "Clear" features appearance from Sinéad O'Connor, Jah Wobble, Benjamin Zephaniah and a rare vocal from novelist Will Self.

The band is now dormant but Simenon has gone on to become a successful producer for other artists (Depeche Mode, etc). He also owns now in Amsterdam a Music-Label called "Electric Tones" on which he released in 2001 the "Clear Cut" EP which is the last to date from Bomb The Bass.
