Exclusive Interview: Steve Smooth

Exclusive Interview: Steve Smooth
Born and raised on Chicago ‘s Southside, Steve Smooth first entered the dance music scene in 1991. Starting out at a record store and then a Chicago based independent record label, he became immersed in the house music culture. As a DJ, Steve worked to perfect his style of mixing, hitting the Chicago club circuit. This, along with guest appearances on several college radio stations helped to gain him recognition, eventually leading to a frequent guest spot on the Sunday mix show, “The Street Flava,” which aired on Chicago’s largest radio station B96 (96.3 FM).

Steve has since ventured into the studio, producing and remixing tracks for some of the hottest dance labels, including, International House Records and Moody Recordings. With his first mixes on “Everyday My Life” by legendary house diva, Dajae, and the remix of the vocal anthem, “Time” by Dajae, Steve quickly made his mark in the house and dance music community. As well, his work has received much deserved attention from Billboard Magazine.

His first original production “Beat Freaker” created a frenzy on dance-floors, worldwide. As a production force to be reckoned with, Steve’s skills in the studio have earned him a part on Bad Boy Bill’s production team, giving him credit on Bad Boy Bill’s dance-floor hits, “Everybody,” “Costa Del Sol” and “Happy.” Now, his latest singles, “Release” on International House Records, “Get Naked” on Motus & “Discoteca” on Moody (with his producing partner JJ Flores) have become bonafide hits and have been getting play by the world’s top DJs, as well as play on the most respected mix show, BBC Radio 1.

But that’s not all; in addition to producing, Steve is maintaining an impressive DJ schedule. Currently voted as one of ” America ‘s Favorite DJs”, according to BPM Magazine, he placed within the top 10 among house DJs. This past year alone he took his skills as a DJ and sound to over 100 shows in areas like the UK, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, Canada, and North/South America. Read more
