Renowned for his uns

It doesn’t feel like over two decades ago.
We started playing under the name Smokingroove in 1997, and by the time we got to the 2000s, we were playing DJ gigs around the world.

Fast forward to today, and only one of us is still playing, but also now just got back into the mood for releasing new music, made up of all the elements taken-in over the years.

When i started my journey, i said i wanted to have the backstory of history behind my name, and now when i think about it, i finally have that.

History is earned.

Watch out for the new music and radio shows coming your way.. We still have a lot of fun times ahead.

2001. New York City.
A couple of months before 9/11.
No one knew everything would change that same year.

I went to the twin towers one day because i saw it in the Simpsons and thought it would be funny to stand where Homer was in the cartoon.

On reflection, i wish i took more photos back then. It’s impossible to realise how truly big they were.

Mind blowingly big.

And then some more.

Our thoughts are with all those we lost that day.

It’s all fun & games until you get burnt by the sun.. It’s an occupational hazard but you gotta roll with it and have fun anyways.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s been a tough summer but a hella experience with more behind-the-scenes work than i’ve ever done before but will ultimately be worth the effort.

My media house is starting to grow, i wrote some new music and am learning as much as possible about crypto and Web 3.

Exciting times are ahead and i’m working on being better every day.
