SmashBack spent his teenage years in North London training his ears to the evolving sounds of Jungle and House. His love for underground music led to further training in the art of music production, working various jobs to buy music equipment for his bedroom studio. It wasn't until he left school when he got into DJ'n and started a weekly residency at The Green Man pub in London's West End. After this, he studied Music Techology at Uni & spent one of his summer breaks working for the now defunct techno institute Prime Distribution in West London. Whilst at Uni, he co-ran the legendary BULLDOZER night in the seaside town of Scarborough. At the BULLDOZER night SmashBack introduced the North East coast to Grime, Electro & Booty Bass. After moving to Manchester, SmashBack got involved with the beginning stages of the ELECTRODE night. It was this that introduced him to the residents of ALIEN RADIO, who asked him to hop aboard and help co-run their night. ELECTRODE now fills the monthly slot that ALIEN RADIO used to grace. SmashBack co-runs the Bass Gun record label with Paul Blackford, releasing quality bass-heavy electro. He has also finished a new album 'City Parks', OUT NOW.

TRACKS:
'''''''''''''''''
Right, i've started working on a new release called the 'Trans Pennine Express E.P' (obvious reference to Kraftwerk). First track is called 'Mission To Irlam' - a melodic, 135bpm electro track in the same vein as my remix of Darkmode's 'Natural City'. Possible names for the other tracks are 'Scarborian Train Wreck', 'Alonzi's Harbour Bar' and 'Bucky M16'.

Out soon is the joint E.P from myself and Teutonic Kaboom on WIDE records. It's a FRIGGIN' MONSTER!!!
