A first for Aciitone as we see the release of our first
artist
album from Belfast native Jonny “Bubba”Smith.
“While the City Sleeps” is a fresh sound that draws
on many retro influences. BUBBA’s debut solo album
delivers a selection of well rounded pieces that showcase
the many sides of his producing talents, from sunny strings
to bumpin basslines, with deeper, drugged out vocal snips
and a squechy splosh of acid, its an album offering a fine
selection of summertime bombs…
Jonny ‘Bubba’ Smyth started out as a kid, making music on
a keyboard and drum machine in his bedroom in Belfast in
the 90’s,trying to emulate the techno and house sounds he
was hearing at the underground club nights Sugar Sweet
and Shake Ya Brain ran by local DJ/Soundtrack legend
David Holmes.
Teaming up with his friends who were DJ’s and producer’s
became part of the local underground collective, DJing and
playing live around Belfast and Ireland. With his friend
Mark ‘Scoper’ Bell they produced the seminal track
Scoper & Bubba – I’m Satisfied released on Luke
Solomon and Derrick Carter’s Classic label.
Then further releases as Scoper & Bubba alongside label
mates Romanthony and Milton Jackson on
Glasgow Underground and for Paul Woolford’s Hip
Therapy project. Collaborations with Timmy ‘Jet
Project’ Stewart as Bubba & T-Bone seen release’s on
labels Elevation, Mode Music and Tom Budden’s
Alive imprint and have seen big support and plays by
Dubfire, James Zabiela, Ivan Smagge, Ewan Pearson,
Ricardo Villalobos, Paul Woolford, Laurent Garnier,
Solomun, Ben Watt and more.
Now embarking on a exciting new solo project which sees
his debut album coming out on eclectic electronic label
Aciitone. And the first in a series of releases for Tel
Aviv Label Asymmetric and Chris Duckenfield
and Jet Projects Extended Play.
“It’s cool that you make something in your bedroom and
with the technology you can reach lots of different people,
I’m very excited that Aciitone are getting this project out.
Music speaks an international language”
With more tracks and remixes on the way in the coming
month’s, in 2010 you’ll definitely be hearing more…

Girl in mask is great. Heatseeker cool melodic hook.
Altered states is a hot groove.
