Will Bailey is from birmingham and had two careers before this one. he made fidget house as twocker alongside alex calver, then put out dutch house and moombahton under his own name, and only landed on low steppa after a spell in los angeles.
the turn came in 2013 with a bootleg of route 94's My Love that spread fast on soundcloud, and the same year he started Simma Black. the label's second catalogue number, the Lowdown EP, went out on 6 may 2013.
simma black grew a sublabel, Simma Red, and became a step up for other producers. Kyle Watson built early recognition on simma black releases. bailey later added Low Trax Records, which he set up as a home for underground house from newer names.
Music brings people together like nothing else in the world.
