SMOOKY
Smooky is part of a Swiss collective called Mercurochrome, whose aim is to promote the electronic culture on all levels. Mercurochrome finds its origins in the multiplicity of each of its members’ experiences, gained over the latter half of the nineties, coming together. This fusion resulted in their infamous parties held in the cities and the countryside of the Juraissan, events which drew from Hip Hop culture as well as the Industrial resulting in the exploration of the more radical margins of sound. This party spirit, lacking in many such experiments, provided the impetus and reason to explore further, pushing the boundaries of 'sound experience' to the limit without neglecting the fact that people are out to enjoy themselves.
It was this raw, honest energy that drew Jason Leach (aka Subhead) to the project. Inspired by the 'highly organised mayhem' that is a Mercurochrome event and the high standard of Mercurochrome's artists, Leach felt that this should be experienced by a wider audience. He, alongside the Swiss producers Fugo, Michele Fasano, Smooky, Ki-Yota and Smees, formed the label’s core, later bringing in friends Nino-Fight and Steady-P. Smooky went on to form the closely related label Electronik Weed Crew along with Smees, Nino Fight and Ki Yota, which together with Mercurochrome became the pillar-stone of this distinctive, riotous dancefloor-destroying Swiss sound.
Smooky the producer has made an important contribution to the Swiss scene through several EPs and compilation appearances. However, it is his deejaying which brings him to Substance for his Scottish debut – expect to hear the Juraissan take on electronics and a whole lot more.
