Christian Smith

Part of the burgeoning Swedish scene is centred mainly in Stockholm, where Christian Smith has taken a long way to his esteemed position as the leading producer of the grey area between house and techno, often described as a tech-house.

Christian Smith started spinning records at the age of 15. Moved to New York in 1989, immersing himself in the thrilling electronic dance sounds of the U.S. and it wasn't long until he was a regular on the American circuit. Later returned to Sweden to join the exploding scene there. His first release appeared in 1991, and since then he has recorded for labels as renowned as Yoshitoshi, Primevil, Primate, and In-Tec, and including a large number of collaborations with John Selway. In addition to production and DJing, Smith also manages Tronic, his esteemed label that is home to artists such as Joel Mull and Mistress Barbara, along with Beyer and Lekebusch. In the summer of 2001, Smith released Tronic Treatment, a mix-CD using three turntables and tracks of his own and from an impressive lineup of producers.
