== BIOGRAPHY ==
Back in the Day, Tyler Smith aka ‘Black Smith Craft’ discovered the unique sound of acid house and was immediately captured by the hypnotic vibe that emanated from the music during the end of the 1980’s.
He found himself seduced & consumed by this wave of electronic music and fell in love with the German melodic trance style labels such as Eye-Q, Platipus and Superstition, as many of us did… 
Having followed dance music in all its forms throughout the 1990’s he started DJ’ing and by the turn of the millennium he started to develop a taste for the more underground techno sound which was coming out of England, Germany & especially the Detroit sound of the time…
Tyler Smith had always wanted to be involved with radio broadcasts and this ambition kicked off in earnest when he started playing regularly on the ‘Tuesday Session’ show, broadcast on the very popular Campus FM (Villeneuve d’Ascq/France), which was run by Dmitri Pike of Mirage/Matrix/Subject Detroit fame.
Spurred on by the development of increased exposure through radio he started honing his skills in music production and the ‘Alphaground’ website was born. This brought about more exposure for his music mission and by 2004 Tyler was performing on a number of key profile dance music stations in France and Holland. During 2006 he launched ‘Interstate 94’ show with Erell Ranson & Pedro Cali for Livesets.com, which was dedicated to the sound of Detroit. This was quickly followed by the aptly named ‘B-Side Show’ which showcased the darker, offbeat & industrial sounds. Currently the main man is managing different shows playing classics from way back, Detroit & Birmingham tunes on Livesets.com, Emergence FM (Limoges/France), and Techno.fm 
In 2006 Tyler’s finally realized the goal of having his debut vinyl release which was in collaboration with Bionic on French label ‘Audiocrash’. This was quickly followed by several upstanding digital releases. Over the years Tyler’s side to the music has become darker & more industrial, which in turn has led to the birth of his most acclaimed project: Black Smith Craft… With music released already on distinct labels from the scene and more on the way for labels including Grovsjopa’s mighty ‘Pohjola’, Leeds finest ‘Limetree’, UTCH rec. & Rednox’ superb free net-label ‘Ante-Rasa’…
Since 2008, Tyler has played across Europe alongside artists like Kr!z, the 65d mavericks, Bas Mooy, DJ Toki, DJ Boss, Bionic, Dimitri Pike, Arrestar, Sean Matters, Systemic, Victor Martinez…
More recently, he has created the groups http://soundcloud.com/groups/technotherapy and http://soundcloud.com/groups/old-school-techno-1 on Soundcloud to keep the real techno spirit alive and promote both established and up and coming techno artists from around the world.

Passionné par les sons en général mais avant tout par les sons de la nature. J'ai donc une affection particulière pour l'audionaturalisme mais je suis ouvert aussi au field recording plus largement.

Born under the name Raf Geysen in the Antwerp district (Belgium) on the 27th of octobre 1977, D-men-c entered the world of music at the age of 10. At this time there was no house or techno-scene, so he started playing the clarinet and the saxophone. They gave him an idea of composition, harmony and rhythm. Growing older, his increasing amount of testosterone led him on a rougher musical path. He began listening to punkrock and hardcore. The love for speed was hereby established. Being convinced that he would listen to this music for the rest of his life he started his higher education in Gent. This student city had a small youth club called "democrazy". They organized technoparties and he stranded on one of them. In the beginning he did not understand the music until Joey Beltram's "forklift" played in the Luke Slater's remix. He was amazed what an atmosphere you can create by just moulding and stretching one single sound. After a few parties he wanted to become a dj and so he did. Together with his nephew he practiced night after night. After a few year's, the decks were not so interesting anymore so they had to be sold. But the bass bug had bitten him so hard that after two year's he started again. The world of dj's had turned into a digital one so it was time to follow this evolution. This enabled him to be more creative by experimenting with more decks and fx. Embracing these possibilities he tries to bring you uplifting sets with a slightly mystical atmosphere.

Starting from 02/02/2014 D-men-C has a weekly radioshow called "D.U.B.E. Collabs".  Together with dj Frisbeat he likes to please your ears.
