Growing up in Portishead, Andy met Geoff Barrow who was later to head the band that put the place on the map. Andy became Portishead’s Tour DJ where his eclectic style was perfectly showcased on the band’s 1995 and 1998 world tours and he’s been in constant demand in clubs across the globe ever since. b. 23 January 1967, Thornbury, Bristol, Avon, England. Smith made his name on the UK music scene in the mid-90s as the official tour DJ for the Bristol-based trip-hop act Portishead. The response to his opening sets for that band prompted Smith's decision to release his own mix album in 1998. The highly praised ‘The Document’ appeared on the Go! Beat Records label, and its popularity within the house and hip-hop fraternity helped give Smith a great profile boost. The list of records on the album seemed absolutely bizarre from Tom Jones to Jeru The Damaja, but with seamless mixing and top-drawer cutting and scratching Smith fashioned one of the year's finest mix releases. Further work with Portishead was balanced with an increasingly hectic schedule as an international DJ, but in the new millennium Smith found the time to launch Dynamo Productions with Scott Hendy of the hip-hop outfit Boca 45. The duo issued a number of 12-inch singles before debuting with Analogue in early 2003. Shortly afterwards, Smith released his second mix set (inventively titled The Document II). The album continued in the eclectic vein of its predecessor, beginning with a Kate Bush track and moving through Serge Gainsbourg, the Ultramagnetic MC's and Barbara Acklin. One of the least pretentious DJs on the UK music scene, Smith educates and rocks the party out at the same time.We're also kicking off the Barasti Beach Brunch.With the poolside transformed into a funky lounge set up, this casual brunch will have live cooking stations and the best sea views in Dubai.The Barasti brunch takes place between 12.30 – 4.30pm, costs 295 Dhs per person inclusive of food, beverage and pool access.Come on down ... we're just getting started.
