Sunny Vibe Up ft. DJ Smoove (Smoove & Turrell)

Following our awesome opening party with Wrogtom we are pleased to announce our next party featuring none other than DJ Smoove from Smoove & Turrell! Smoove (Jonathan Scott Watson) originally started out as a professional DJ in 1990, when he worked in bars and clubs, mainly in the Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland areas. In 1991 he began to make his own music - based on a blend of hip-hop, soul and funk - and released a single under the band name Ashbrooke All Stars entitled 'Dubbin' Up The Pieces', on East West Records (a Warner Brothers imprint). The track, which was heavily based on the Average White Band classic "Pick Up the Pieces" reached number 16 on the UK Dance chart.[2] In the years leading up to the formation of Smoove & Turrell his DJ career flourished, he presented a radio show - called Ultravibe - on Sunderland's Wear FM, fronted a Newcastle upon Tyne funk and hip hop band named Rubberneck and remixed music for other artists. A notable early remix of 'No Nose Job' by by hip-hop band Digital Underground was commissioned by the Big Life record label. Smoove's debut single 'He Won't Get Far' was released on the Atomic Hi-Fi label as 12" picture disc, designed to resemble dusty, scratched vinyl. In 2004 he signed a deal with Acid Jazz records, releasing two albums 'Dead Men's Shirts' (2005) and 'Gravy' (2007). Outside of Smoove & Turrell he runs two record labels - Wack Records and Wass Records - and works as a music producer, remixer and DJ. His Wack label releases vinyl and digital EPs featuring Mashups created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs. Smoove appears as his alter-ego S.M.O.V. on releases issued on the Wack label. The Wass Records label provides a platform for original music based around jazz, hip-hop and funk - but with a contemporary flavour. The label has released singles and albums by Renegades Of Jazz and Daytoner in both vinyl and digital formats. In 2012 Smoove released 'First Class' (on Jalapeno Records), his second compilation album of remixes he has produced for other artists ('Gravy' being the first). https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smoove-and-Turrell-Official/205205149622467?fref=ts We're proud partners of quint magazine and Cipher Use the hashtag #deepcratescartel #dropdread and follow @cratesdeep & @wecipher on Twitter!
