SmileyGaz has been a passionate part of the dance music scene since the 1980s, immersing himself in its evolution and vibrance from Chicago House and Detroit Techno to the euphoric highs of Acid House. It's Acid House, in particular, that has remained close to his heart, inspiring both his creative journey and his infectious energy behind the decks.  
Hailing from the North East of England and now calling the South of France home, SmileyGaz brings decades of music appreciation and storytelling to his sets. 
In 2010, he co-founded the duo “Kids Love Acid”, pioneering experimental multi-layer four-track live mixing that pushed creative boundaries. After parting ways with the project, SmileyGaz returned to his solo roots, crafting unique mixes guided by his mood and embracing the diverse styles of dance music he loves.  
Known for his intuitive mixing style and eclectic taste, SmileyGaz keeps the spirit of the dance floor alive, whether he's channeling nostalgic grooves or exploring fresh sonic landscapes.

Peace, love and acid house x

Schweiß isn’t just sweat, it’s proof of life. It’s the thin, salty residue of bad decisions and perfect moments, the slick sheen on your skin when the bassline grips you by the spine and drags you deep into the night. It’s the currency of the dancefloor, the price of surrender, the toll paid in body heat and blurred memories.

Schweiß is the gospel of excess, the dispatches from the frontlines of sound and sweat. It’s the heavy-lidded, red-eyed bastard child of too many 4AMs, of cigarette smoke curling under strobes, of lost weekends and found family in dark, thudding rooms.  -  There’s no clean exit from Schweiß. You go in dry, you come out drenched. It clings to you, soaks into your clothes, and lingers long after the lights come up.

--------------------------------------

Schweiß ist nicht nur Schweiß – er ist der Beweis, dass du lebst. Das dünne, salzige Überbleibsel aus schlechten Entscheidungen und perfekten Momenten. Der glänzende Film auf deiner Haut, wenn der Bass dich am Rücken packt und tief in die Nacht zieht. Die Währung des Dancefloors, der Preis der Hingabe, die Maut, die du in Körperhitze und verschwommenen Erinnerungen bezahlst.

Schweiß ist das Evangelium des Exzesses, der Frontbericht aus Sound und Hitze. Das schwerlippige, rotäugige Bastardkind von zu vielen 4-Uhr-Morgens, von Zigarettenrauch, der unter den Strobolichtern wirbelt, von verlorenen Wochenenden und gefundenen Familien in dunklen, pochenden Räumen.

Es gibt keinen sauberen Ausstieg aus Schweiß. Du gehst trocken rein und kommst durchnässt raus. Es klebt an dir, frisst sich in deine Klamotten und bleibt hängen, lange nachdem die Lichter angehen.

Huge fan of dance music although I've never really had the time, money or equipment to learn to DJ!  Fan of techno nowadays but house, breaks, progressive and dirty bass also float my boat!  Dabbled with amateurish productions several years ago; I *might* upload some snippets of these in the future, maybe I'll take it up again if I get the time?!  Otherwise I go out and listen to many a DJ spin some tunes although not as much as I used to.  Was an End regular (R.I.P.) then period Shoreditch/Old Street/East London and various warehouse parties... now seemingly semi-retired up North... but music still massively important!

Do what u love!!!
