Smooth – All Over the World (Technique Summer 2018 Sampler)
Out Now: Beatport Exclusive bit.ly/SmoothSummerLP

We made it! Winter's officially done and spring isn't long for this world either. We can know this for sure because the regular-as-the-seasons Technique Summer LP is just appearing over the horizon.

Our first taste of Summer comes courtesy of Smooth. The last decade has seen this artist show off a panoramic range of production styles, releasing on a string of the biggest labels in the scene including Get Hype, Viper, and RAM. And, of course, he's a highly sought-after remixer for artists as disparate as Matrix & Futurebound, Slander & Sullivan King, and Seven Lions. With this tune marking his debut on Technique Recordings, it's bound to be something special.

Right from the opening chords of “All Over the World”, we know we're in safe hands. There's a bright, uplifting, Balearic dawn flavour to the intro, and the house influence becomes ever more evident as a filtered break gives way to a call-to-rave dialogue sample.

And then there's the explosive euphoria of the drop. A pitch-twisted vocal riff layered over rock-solid bass and beats sets the tone, while warm enveloping strings draw the dance deeper. Smooth's musicality comes to the fore as he delivers us into a lighters-up breakdown, reconfiguring chords into arpeggios which lift us back into the bassline.

This tune is summertime raving encapsulated in a few minutes. Classy and sophisticated and, at the same time, packing pure dancefloor punch, Smooth has set summer off with a bang. And there's a lot more to come.

Luka Per aka Smooth was introduced to music at the age of 10, when he began to practice piano. After practicing for 3 years and later on he became more interested in guitar, also in such genres as metal, hardcore etc. When a couple of years passed by he attended his first drum n bass party and he was hooked!

After hearing ‘Under The Moon’ which would appear on Viper Recordings ‘Acts of Mad Men’ album, Smooth was signed to the label and later went onto release his first single ‘7th Sense’ / ‘Squirm’ (feat. KG) on Viper’s sister label, Viper VIP. Smooth is also one half of Telekinesis who recently made their debut on Breed 12 Inch label, as well as one third of City of Dogs, whose track ‘Absolutely Flawless’ was featured on Pendulum’s Radio1 Essential Mix. 

2011 was a breakout year for Smooth, starting off with the massive single 'Feel So Free' on Viper VIP, which was followed by 'Calling' and Smooth's absolutely immense remix of the Matrix & Futurebound classic 'Strength 2 Strength' on Viper's 'Worldwide 001' album. This was followed by two tracks on Viper's 'Summer Slammers 2011' album, with 'Want It' and 'Alienated' (as Telekinesis). 

Smooth has gained a legion of new followers over the course of 2012 with his massive ‘Blinded By The Light EP’ released in January which featured no less than seven essential cuts which showed the amazing range of the young producer. Busy on the remix front as well, Smooth has provided official remixes for smash hits such as Camo & Krooked – ‘Get Dirty’ (feat. TC) and Seven Lions – ‘Below Us’ (feat. Shaz Sparks), as well as the upcoming Matrix & Futurebound single ‘Magnetic Eyes’ (feat. Baby Blue) and Modestep’s new single ‘Another Day’.

Now ready to launch the next chapter of his career, Smooth has set his sights on working towards his debut album on Viper Recordings which will surely catapult him amongst the elite producers in drum and bass. Serving as the first album single, ‘Virgo Cluster’ is the perfect showcase of Smooth’s trademark anthemic dancefloor funk which he is becoming world renown for.
