Dj'ing for over 13 years now. Learning on a pair of Numark Vinyl decks in 2002. Back then Speed Garage, Bassline and Funky House tracks were what i bought and used to play. 

Around 2010 I was approached by the manager of a new bar in Birmingham called Purple Bar and started playing there Friday and Saturdays which projected my name across the Midlands quickly.
Since 2010 I’ve repeatedly played at The Rainbow, Nightingale Top Floor, So It Goes, Birmingham Pride Dance Arenas, Chic and Bushwackers. 
This year I played in Croatia and over the next few months i have been booked to play in Stoke, Stourbridge, Cheltenham and Nottingham. 

My style of music i would say now is House, Bass & Tech but i find it hard to categorise because i vary it up and a good beat is a good beat ha!

Production / Engineering wise I have worked with Thomas Graham, James Lowe (Development) and Jamie Vine. Janai (vocalist) has also featured on one of my tracks with Thomas Graham. August 2015 started producing and since then i have released an EP under the alias Ana Cole and my latest three tracks under Lisa Sharred have gained plays and support from TS7 on Kiss, Billy Kenny, DJ Q, Flava D and also been broadcasted on BBC WM Introducing. 
Was named Dappa from Rinse FMs artist spotlight of the week :)

Wayne Smart is widely regarded as one of the most promising and versatile artists to emerge from the harder end of the scene in the last five years. He is better known for the seamless mixing and relentless late sets that he has unleashed on crowds at London's mighty Frantic, where he not only is a resident, but Co-Label Manager. 
Wayne also manages Encoded and is a resident for Vamp, Premonition and Concept.

From the launch of his first major success, the huge collaboration with Phatt Beats and Defective Audio, 'Death Warrant' - which appeared in countless DJ top tens' and went straight into the Toolbox store top five best sellers upon its opening where it has remained to this day; Wayne has gone from strength to strength and has excelled massively in his DJ career over the last few years. This is mostly due to him turning his focus to producing a vast range of high quality tracks that span from Hardhouse to Hard Trance under his own name and under his aliases, DDT and The Pandemics.

Not only are his own tracks synonymous with the harder, driving sound of Hardhouse, but Wayne has also worked with some of the most influential producers in the scene, including BK, James Nardi, Dom Sweeten (Defective Audio, Base Graffiti, OD404) and Dave Owens (Munkjack, Curve Pusher, D.F.O), all of whom he has Top 10 releases with, most recently with Disturbed Nation's brother from another mother, James Nardi with their collab and 100th Twist Trax release, 'Eternally'.

His gigs to date include: Tour Of NZ & OZ, Frantic, Awsum, Xstatic, Twist, Tasty, Hi Oktane, Tidy Weekender, Vamp, Hook'd, Concept, Convergence, Glow Ball and with events planned for nearly every weekend this year, it's easy to see that Wayne Smart is one of the most in demand artists at the moment.

Quote By Lucy Fur:
Wayne's energetic sets, pitch perfect mixing and driving sound has made him in my top 3 DJ's of the past 5 years. I never missed a Smartie set at home ever. His technical ability to mix is literally like the turntables are an extention of his arms. And we love the POP! That pop. I have played many times b2b with Wayne and all have been so enjoyable x Every production he does is my favourite type of HH. Label manager and resident for both Encoded NRG and Frantic UK have seen him play some of the biggest stages at home. Some of my fav ever sets at the Tidy Weekenders have been Wayne's. Tune after tune, 'Frantic', 'Bad To The Bone', 'ibass' and remixes like '999 Matrix Red Pill' and 'Beat Of The Drum' have been hammered by all the biggest names in the industry and appeared on countless albums. Wayne's 'It's My Pussy' I have decided is my favourite HH tune EVER. I could go on and on, but will leave it there! Absolutely made up this is happening! Love you Smartie xx
