Wayne Smart

Retired in 2019 because of tinnitus. Wayne Smart is widely regarded as one of the most promising and versatile artists to emerge from the harder end of the scene in the last five years. He is better known for the seamless mixing and relentless late sets that he has unleashed on crowds at London's mighty Frantic, where he not only is a resident, but Co-Label Manager. Wayne also manages Encoded and is a resident for Vamp, Premonition and Concept. Not only are his own tracks synonymous with the harder, driving sound of Hardhouse, but Wayne has also worked with some of the most influential producers in the scene, including BK, James Nardi, Dom Sweeten (Defective Audio, Base Graffiti, OD404) and Dave Owens (Munkjack, Curve Pusher, D.F.O), all of whom he has Top 10 releases with, most recently with Disturbed Nation's brother from another mother, James Nardi with their collab and 100th Twist Trax release, 'Eternally'. His gigs to date include:Tour of New Zealand and Australia, Frantic, Awsum, Xstatic, Twist, Tasty, Hi Oktane, Tidy Weekender, Vamp, Hook'd, Concept, Convergence, Glow Ball and with events planned for nearly every weekend this year, it's easy to see that Wayne Smart is one of the most in demand artists at the moment.
