Christian Smith & John Selway (live)

Christian Smith & John Selway began their collaboration in
the early 90's after meeting at a rave in Washington, DC.
Starting with a remix for Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label and
a few other unreleased projects, it wasn't until the late
'90s when they fully hit their stride and began their rise
to prominence in the techno world.
In 1997, releases on Rotation, Primate and Tronic placed
them firmly on the global techno map as a powerful
production team with a unique style. In 1999, they released
"Move!" on Carl Cox's Intec Records. Resulting sales of
over 20,000 copies to this date make "Move!" arguably one
of the first, and biggest, crossover techno hits. DJs
ranging from Paul van Dyk, Sasha to Danny Tenaglia, Deep
Dish to Surgeon and Jeff Mills all played "Move!"
relentlessly in their sets and the track was licensed to a
great number of mix CD compilations world wide. Smith &
Selway, according to DJ MAG, put the funk back into techno
and make the music more friendly to a wider audience
outside the purist techno heads.

Since then Smith & Selway have produced over 30 quality
original releases. They have remixed multiple artists such
as Adam Beyer, Slam, Speedy J, Danny Tenaglia, and even
legendary rock band Queen. An open minded approach to dance
music has allowed them to progress successfully with busy
individual dj careers and demand for their productions.

The new album from Smith & Selway, "The Coming Storm", was
released October 19, 2007 on Sino Records.
