"A good DJ should remember there’s a crowd out there and he or she shouldn’t get too self-indulgent…
But they should always try to educate them aswell."

Biog...
Steve Smart is one of the fastest growing names in dance music and radio, presenting the big Start to the Kiss Weekend right accross the UK on the Kiss network with Friday Night Kiss 7-10pm, Saturday Night Kiss, 9pm-12am, and back for some classic action with Kisstory Sunday nights 7-9pm. Steve also hosts 'Blow Ya Speakers' midweek on Wednesday Night at 2am, (further info on this show below).
Steve's reputation has led to his show being supported by the cream of Dance Music's heavy hitters including David Guetta, Mark Knight, Swedish House Mafia and Laidback Luke to name just a few.
Legend’s like Paul Oakenfold, Armin van buuren, Sasha and Carl Cox have all passed through too whether it be getting exclusive tracks to Steve to play or apperearing live on the show.
The music that Steve plays is a reflection of his ability to foresee future dancefloor hits. Past artists that Steve has exclusively aired on radio include first plays from Axwell, Laidback Luke, David Guetta, Shapeshifters, Seamus Haji and so many more which have all gone on to be big hitters. Well the list really does go on... and on. If you listen to Steve’s show be sure to hear an anthem in the making.
Steve's unique approach to DJ'ing is refreshing to say the least: "I play according to the dance floor all the time, that is my most important aim. Too many DJ's stick to one style, one formula and then when that formula doesn’t work anymore they struggle to re-invent themselves... I maintain my sound which can be melodic and big-room sounding at times but still keeping my approach embracing the sound of now"
The style of music, which Steve incorporates into his sets embraces house, (be it funky or electro) stepping up a gear upto 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 in the past.
However the latest productions and remixes came about 3 years ago in 2007, working alongside Danny Dove, Steve and Danny have since become an 'in demand' sure fire production team. 2008 saw the release of their debut single 'Need In Me' featuring Amanda Wilson (Loaded records) which notched up huge success worldwide. A string of remixes followed and the awesome follow up single 'Doesn't really matter' featuring 'DJ and vocalist Abigail Bailey was out late 2008 on Ministry Of Sounds's Data Label. Other 2008 remixes for Supafly, Sharam and the comeback single from the Sugababes 'Girls' all picked up huge support.
Steve continued to tour all over the globe dj-ing throughout all of the production studio sessions and radio shows.
Into 2009 - Steve took on three residency stints at London's super-club Pacha earlier in the year, the '£3million refurbed 'iF' and Gatecrasher in Watford over the Summer not to mention his existing Smartie Partie residency at the Den (Formerly the End). Steve toured the French Alps earlier in the year for Ministry Of Sound's Housexy brand and toured the UK in September over the Freshers period reaching from Glasgow to Plymouth.
This year studio wise he has remixed the Chanel single 'If You Love Me' for Hed Kandi. A beautiful remix for M-Box's - 'When You're Gone' featuring Susie Ledge. An unstoppable remix of the Frankmusik single 'Better Off as Two' Universal Island records which was out April. He also remixed the classic Kristine W for Champion records. Then the offer from EMI to work on Empire Of The Sun's 'Walking On A Dream' came along, This picked up numerous Radio 1 and Kiss plays. Most recently they have completed a mix for Newstate on an artist called Remady, 'No Superstar will be out in the new year'. Danny and Steve are now taking a break from remixing as we move into 2010 and currently working on a new single themselves.
Finally 'radio wise' 2009 was the year Steve achieved record rajar figures on all three of his weekend radio shows... smashing Radio 1, on Friday and Saturday nights (and Radio 2 for that matter).
Whilst Steve's shows FNK and SNK and Kisstory predominently focus on dance music that Steve is known for being it new or classics, make sure you listen back (or live) to Steve's forth show which goes out live on Wednesday night Thursday morning (2am) across the UK on the Kiss Network 'BLOW YA SPEAKERS' This is an insight to the more underground side of what Steve plays in the clubs.
