Deviant UK has established itself as a star of the European Dark Alternative stage, spearheading the newly resurgent British scene. The band unleashed debut album 'Barbed Wire Star' in October 2006, spawning the anthemic club hits 'Raptured Saints' and 'Access Denied!'. Their unique sound is powerful, distinctive & instantly accessible.
This band is defined onstage, consolidating an ever-growing fanbase with intensive live dates including Wave Gotik Treffen, Infest, Nocturnal Culture Night, Dark City festivals among others. The band have enjoyed many memorable shows with VNV Nation, The Cruxshadows, Diary of Dreams, Rotersand & Seabound among others.
Quintessentially English & proud of it, Deviant UK is masterminded by devilish singer/songwriter Jay Smith ("a true showman with an ego the size of a planet" - Rocksound Magazine). This is cybergothic pop with a black heart, Smith's angst-ridden vocals coating every song in ice. Memorable hooks betray a pop science that stands Deviant UK head & shoulders above their peers.
Avoiding the cliches associated with the scene, a strong image and huge stage presence work hand-in-hand with the music to tick all the boxes. Swathed in pure rock and roll attitude, Smith engages audiences with an overwhelming confidence that is equal parts arrogance, charisma & psychosis.
His lyrical stance is suitably dark; everyone has a secret to hide, friends will always let you down & love inevitably ends badly. Forget vague symbolism, B-Movie futurism or tired political posturing: Smith opts for a truly personal, first-person view into a bacchanalian world of sin, excess, cynicism & insecurity, framed by humour so black that it can only come from having been there, seen it and done it.
With 'Barbed Wire Star' hailed a classic debut, European & US tour dates lie ahead following a triumphant 4 week US Tour with Project Pitchfork in August and September 2009. The recent collaborations with Imatem [Project Pitchfork] & Rotersand topped alternative charts across Europe & the second Deviant UK album 'Very Bad Things' is scheduled for release in early 2010: bigger, harder and better. Expectations are high and Jay Smith is raising the stakes once again. Who would bet against him now? Not you.

Master of Deception EP – Tom Hades – Impact Mechanics Release number forty two for Impact Mechanics, this time featuring the talents of one of the most respected techno producers Tom Hades, fresh from his hot remix for Wehbba. Master mind Tom Hades has produced on labels such as Drumcode, Hell Yeah, 8 Sided Dice. This EP brings us the "Original Mix" of the title cut; Krank a gritty, straight forward Techno mover and the "Master of deception," a more driving and upfront version. The real gem here however, Krank, is a mega bass, slow-rising minimal flavored tech house track with a massive bassline. Atmospheric and dark in all the right ways. Clips can be found here
