Smith n Hack is the collaborative project of Soundhack aka Soundstream and Errorsmith, who is also part of MMM. Associated with the legendary Hardwax record store in Berlin, the two guys are producing disco, house and techno influenced clubmusic since the mid 90's. In 2001 Smith n Hack started a series of 'tribute' releases as a way to pay respect to their favorite artists. On these records they transform and recontextualize the music of the past using the styles, sounds and techniques of today. While celebrating the originals their tributes sound fresh, truly unique and unrepeatable.

Smith n Hack's production skills brought them the appreciation of Matthew Herbert and Ricardo Villalobos, who asked them for remixes. Smith n Hack’s genius rework of Villalobos' “Easy Lee” into a psyched out high energy anthem has been one of the highlight tracks of 2004 and their remix of Herbert’s “Moving Like A Train” currently hit the dancefloors heavily!

As another mean to keeping it real and to assure the most possible artistic and financial independancy, Smith n Hack, like all their other projects, are self releasing artists. Which means that they press the records on their own instead of working with established labels. Their records are distributed by Hard Wax Berlin as the main distribution worldwide. Digital Formats are available at Beatport.

Sebastian Albrecht calls it the absolute flash. After an early listen to a mix CD put out by nightlife mainstay Tresor in 1991, this Berlin native fell fast and hard for the kind of full bodied techno that fueled this city at that time. His productions are an astute distillation of the city: crisp concrete groove, purposeful beats, and urbane narratives underscored by carefully curated samples. Playing out solely as a live act, Sebastian favors a human touch — on-the-spot edits, recombined soundscapes, and hands-on synthesizing that makes each set completely unique. This style that has brought him to clubs and venues in Berlin, Paris, Zurich, Montreal, Moscow, London, Toronto, Barcelona...

2013 welcomed Park Recordings, the label he runs with friend and fellow artist Florist. Focusing on minimal house and techno releases mastered by Sebastian himself, Park is quickly establishing itself among local and international artists. The label likewise benefits from Sebastian’s hand, absorbing the grounded realism with which he approaches his music.

Mein musikalischer einstieg liegt ein paar Jahre zurück. 1998 im alter von 13 Jahren begann alles mit dem kauf der ersten 1210er. Seit 1999 engagiere ich mich in verschiedenen Projekten, inspiriert durch die Thüringer Club-Szene und der hier populären House Musik. Die Organisation verschiedener Parties (u.a. Klangwerk-Ost) standen immer im  Vordergrund meiner Arbeit durch die ich viel Erfahrung gewonnen habe. Nach der Eröffnung des Klub-Village (heute Village47) im Jahre 2008 wurde mein persönlich bestes Projekt Realität. Die hier angestrebte Qualität ist durchaus auch in meinem Sinne und führte mich, im Kontext verschiedener After Hours, wieder zurück an die Plattenspieler, deren Verwendung ich noch heute favorisiert. Inzwischen liegt der Fokus auf tiefen und groovigen Tech-House und dem erhalt des Underground’s im Südthüringer Raum. Seit 2015 zähle ich als offizieller Fusion-Festival Sympathisant zu einem der vielen Macher hinter diesem Festival. Ich spiele ausschließlich unentgeltlich da meiner Auffassung nach Geld und Musik nicht zusammen passen. NonProvit heisst hier das Zauberwort. Ich bringe lieber Freunde mit!
