S9

S9 are a drum and bass duo from Luton, England. The act is made up of Lewis Norton and Sami Qureshi. They work as producers within drum and bass, specifically on the liquid funk side of the spectrum, and both members are also credited as DJs.

Public biographical detail about Lewis Norton and Sami Qureshi’s early lives and how they entered the scene is limited. What is documented is their release history: S9 have issued singles and EPs since 2015, beginning with "Push It / Retrospect" (2015). Later releases include "Defibrillator" (2019) and "Collide / Together" (2020), and they have followed those with more recent tracks listed as "Future Shock" and "Morse Code". Both members are credited as producers on their material and they perform live DJ sets in the drum & bass scene.

As liquid-funk producers, S9’s work sits in a melodic, atmosphere-forward strand of drum and bass. Their recorded output leans on clear drum programming and polished percussion edits, alongside melodic and pad-driven sections that prioritise harmonic movement and listening texture. Their productions emphasise clean bass design — warm sub support with focused midrange movement — and arrange breaks and fills to keep tracks club-ready while retaining melodic detail typical of liquid releases.

Concrete career points: they began releasing music in 2015 with "Push It / Retrospect", followed by the single "Defibrillator" in 2019 and the double A-side "Collide / Together" in 2020. Subsequent releases credited to S9 include "Future Shock" and "Morse Code". Beyond studio work, both Norton and Qureshi play DJ sets under the S9 name on the drum & bass circuit.

There are no widely published, verifiable statements listing specific artist influences or label affiliations for S9; available public records focus on the releases and their DJ/producer roles. Their most recent documented activity remains the tracks "Future Shock" and "Morse Code" and ongoing live DJ performances.
