Paul Smith aka Smithmonger was originally a professional trumpet player who trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before turning his attention to underground dance music. He moved to London 5 years ago and has turned heads with past releases on top labels such as Loaded, TCR, 10Kilo, Hooj Choons, and Bushwakka's Oblong. In the last three years, it's safe to say everyone from Coxy to Boy George has had a Smithmonger tune in their box. Without question Monger has entered the big leagues.
The year's started off with a massive Breaks release on Boombox in January called 'Hey'. It was caned by the likes of Lee Coombs and Atomic Hooligan. This was followed by a stormer on 10kilo called 'Seen it all Before' which went in with a bullet at No. 1 in DJ Mag's Breaks chart and No. 18 on the UK Cool Cuts Chart. Oblong released 'Get it Oun' in May to huge reactions (Number 3 in Carl Cox's June chart) and Paul has just signed another Tech-House project to Visitor in Belgium. Ministry of Sound released a wicked breaks 12'' in August (No 6 in the breaks chart) and Paul has come on board with Fingerlickin' Records and Signed a 12'' for their new imprint 'VA Breaks'. Called 'Buxom', this debuted at number 7 in the breaks chart.
The year is indeed looking good. He's just remixed The Propeller Heads, Rennie Pilgram and Robert Owins and with numerous DJ dates, Smithmonger has headliner written all over himself.
