Steve Smart
Steve Smart is one of the fastest growing names in dance music and radio, presenting the Kiss flagship Saturday night Floorfillers Show. 8-11pm, the all new Friday Night Kiss 7-10pm and back for some classic action with Kisstory Sunday nights 7-9pm
Steve's reputation has led to his show being host to the cream of Dance Music's heavy hitters including Sasha (who really doesnt do much radio at all, but supports Steve's show) Mark Knight, Tom Neville, Darren Emerson, Nic Fanciulli, James Zabiela and Carl Cox to name just a few.
The tunes that Steve plays are also a reflection of his ability to foresee future dancefloor hits. Past tracks that Steve has exclusively aired on radio include the D Ramirez mix of Bodyrox, Calvin Harris and more recently Groove Amada's infectious 'Get Down' which have all gone on to be big hitters.
Steve's unique approach to radio and DJ'ing is refreshing to say the least: "I play according to the dance floor, that is my most important aim. Too many DJ's stick to one style, one formula and then when that formula doesnt work they struggle to re-invent themselves... I maintain my sound which can be melodic at times"
The style of music, which Steve incorporates into his sets embraces funky house, and Electro induced house stepping up to progressive. His knowledge of music expands further and even enables his DJing to incorporate wider genres at times. His ability to easily adapt is one of his greatest forte's.
Production is important for Steve too having produced under various pseudonyms with various people, One in particular along with production partner Nick Woolfson notched up serious success with their single 'Shelter Me' feat Ely released on Big Star Records in 2005. Not to mention the massive Cerrone sampling 'Sunrise' which was performed in front of 100,000 people in Paris on the Live 8 stage earlier last year. Meanwhile, regular visits to the studio means a new production is never far away. New Productions to watch out for in 2007 include work alongside Danny Dove whom he has set up Naked Flame records with.
