NEWS
Update - 9th - 10th September
Apologies for the Voyager mixes going missing in the way they have. It appears that something went wrong during the file transfer, and they were not uploaded properly. We will aim to rectify this shortly.
More success for Outsource
We have also set up shop at Vitaminic. Our collection of tracks there includes a track that is unreleased on Soundclick - Voyager.
Outsource are also currently occupying the top spot on Vitaminic's electronic music chart, and have been there now for the last 2 weeks! Success has also come in the genre charts, with a No.1 and No.2 track in the Ambient subsection, plus a No.1 in the Trance subsection.
Onto this page:
We have given this section a slight overhaul, and have added new graphics, and a bit more detail on the info page.
Thanks for your support,
Outsource

Outsource is the result of two very different artists working together to create hugely unique music by fusing trance, ambient and breakbeat styles together.
Since bursting onto the scene with Six Shades of a Single Soul, Outsource have gone from strength to strength with each consectutive release - reaching new heights of trance/breakbeat fusion with Oni, showing how trance artists can create a totally unique style with Voyager, and giving ambient music a massive twist with Sunset.
With a string of remixes, new tracks, and a debut album all on the horizon - 2002 is fast becoming the year of Outsource!
Why this name?
We chose Outsource as we felt our music needed a proper band name to progress, as our original page was just our names, and we needed something that grabbed peoples attention.
Do you play live?
Not yet. We live in two different countries, so it's quite difficult.
Band History:
Formed in May 2002, Outsource was originally a one-off collaboration between two fairly experienced music producers - Kier Bates and Mr. Mystery.
Following the success of Six Shades of a Single Soul on the Soundclick electronic charts, it was decided by both that to quit now after this would be foolish. Outsource was born.
The follow up tracks all had large success, and were highly acclaimed, and so it was decided to continue with this and start work on a debut album (titled 12 Hours, this is still in production and is penned for release sometime in 2002).
Following on from their initial success, Outsource have spread their talents further, with a string of remixes both complete (you can find the Outsource remix of Trance Addict on this very band page), and more in production.

Your influences?
Our influences are quite wide in range.
As a listener, expect many styles fused into a totally unique experience. With tracks ranging from trance to ambient, we like to be different each time.
