This EP is a collection of 3 tracks that I've made in between the years of 2016 - 2018

I've been playing these tracks throughout my live sets a lot in the past few years and they always worked pretty well in the club. I never ended up finishing them and eventually I've lost the original work files of two of them.

Recently I've found the rendered wav files on my disk, listened to them and all the good memories from the best gigs I played since 2016 came back. I've realised they actually didn't need any extra touch (except of one) and that they were just as good as they were and it would be a shame not to release them.

Could the mixdown have been done better ? Definitely yes ! The arrange of the songs could have been done better ? Yeah probably. Also I didn't leave much headroom for better mastering to my future self but... I did what I could and most importantly...I've put some love into that music :) I hope you can feel it while listening and that you can get some positive vibes, that was the main goal. Enjoy this little EP and if you like it, please let me know :)

This is my first self made release under the Smeti-Production label, which I've started just to put my own music out and try to do it my way.

Gladly presenting this remix I've made for Mad Maverick. I learned a lot during the whole process and to be honset, I'm not very good with remixing someone elses music, but  ... I must say I'm actually proud of myself on this one :) Hope you enjoy it, if you do, please follow the buy link

Mad  Maverick - Half Forgotten Season (Smeti Remix)

I became speechless that day...

Then...I've decided to make this track to try to support people from Ukraine. 

All the money raised from this track will be sent directly to 
Člověk v tísni - SOS Ukraine account. 

I still can't find words nowadays....

Devoted to the production for a long time now, Vojtěch Smetana alias Smeti musically evolved throughout the years, from the industrial-inspired sounds of his former project Anhedonia, later he created contributions for sound banks under the civil name while polishing his own sonic palette and shifted more into club-oriented genres by the time, releasing deep vibes and atmospheric as well as melodic works mainly affected by techno, but with dub, garage, and house influences too...
Meanwhile, he was developing and playing live sets, putting out the prior album and a row of EPs as Smeti moniker again, and started the recording process of material for "Unforeseen Events“ after that, when also the fatherhood came in…

The cover artwork, full of prehistoric motifs printed on risograph - a specific technique, outdated but with a very distinctive visual style - is reminding and refers to the ritualistic nature of dance music, same like its animalistic aspects and socialization and celebratory purposes, yet from the dawn of the humanity.

Saying about this long-play by the author himself:
All the work on the album took place at night in the home studio in short periods of time after the children were put to sleep, and was created mainly during the pandemic lockdowns.

The majority of the stuff on "Unforeseen Events“ is very personal, most definitely the one which features vocals by Voj from the band Voj & 3ska. Vojta once approached me with an offer to remix their song and the idea to co-operate in the future was inevitable.
The theme of the lyrics for "Hold Ya" mainly reflects the time when our daughter Rozálie was born, and the second track also carries her name.

The remix of "Yidaki“ was provided by my friend Marek Hradil (aka DJ Destroyer, Mad Maverick, VCR) who then did remote supervision during the mastering and I consulted him on everything, including the mix.

The rest of the tracks were created during the last two years and I honestly tested them all at live performances. This record is heavily inspired by techno and house but packs all sorts of influences from ambient to 80‘s synth sound, trip-hop, and chill-out, but industrial as well…

Tímto zároveň děkujeme za Vaši přízeň během letošního roku. Oproti tomu loňskému jsme se už i lehce pochlapili s mejdany a do příštího roku se můžete těšit i na víceméně pravidelnou techno noc pod CLCK hlavičkou s názvem Teleskop.
Sledujte dál naši stránku, ať zůstanete v obraze ;)
Úspěšný příští rok a minimum starostí a maximum kvalitní muziky Vám přejí
