This new release by Smooth starts a series of EPs which are produced using vintage hardware equipment only. "Vintage 01" has become a very smooth blend of house vibes and dubtechno flavours, using the EMU Esi-4000 sampler besides the TR-626 and MC-303 by Roland. Minimalism in gear for the authentic touch. The series will continue with the Roland JD-800 and the Korg DW-6000.

As announced, the "vintage-series" by Smooth continues. The second EP was exclusively produced using vintage gear like Roland TR-626, Roland MC-303, EMU ESI-4000 and the fantastic Roland D-50, besides some outboard effects. Tracks somewhere between Dubtechno and Deep House, focused to rough chord sounds and warm, smooth filtered pads, from minimalism in sound to moving sound scapes and breathing noises. All that is in here, so grab it!

Part 3 of the Vintage series by Smooth continues the concept of tracks produced using vintage hardware and outboard equipment only. "Vintage 03" has become a much deeper dive into the inspiring cosmos of Dubtechno and Deep House than before. Sometimes minimalistic, then again full of moving atmospheres and living chords and pads, drifting to melancholic and uplifting moods here and there. If you like the Roland D50, you will notice it plays the biggest part in this machine orchestra.

Part 5 of the "Vintage-series" by Smooth presents a nice blend of deep rhythms, calm moods and melancholic pads, musically placed somewhere between Deep House and Dubtechno.

Passion, obsession and addiction. For Dubtechno, Progressive, House and all kind of deep music. Thats what "Smooth" is about.

Beside my other music projects "New Age Hippies" (Psytrance), "Smooth Genestar" (Lounge/Downbeat) and "Tenonaki" (Techno/Tech House), i established "Smooth" back in 2006 as project to research in Dubtechno, Deep House, Garage House, UK House and Progressive, as these styles have been important influences over the bygone years.

My intention is to fuse elements and phrases of these different styles, to create this special kind of flow and to ignore musical borders. Therefore, i fuse beautiful and lively pads with dubby chords and elements of Trance, Progressive Trance and House. 

Beside producing and mastering, i operate the free audio netlabel "CYAN" in cooperation with Jaja. If you like as many different music genres as i do, expect to find further unique releases there for free.
