Christian Smith

Your Lovin'

Release date: March 12, 2021

Label: Drumcode

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Christian Smith returns for his first solo release on Drumcode since 2016, re-contextualising a classic vocal work. The Sweden-born journeyman has been friends with Adam Beyer since dot one. In the rare instances he has released outside his own label Tronic, Drumcode has received the fruits of his studio labour. Besides the recent contribution to this year's A-Sides Vol.9 compilation, we haven't seen a stand-alone Drumcode release from Smith in four years, when his excellent 'Force Majeure' stood as one of the year's label highlights. 'Your Lovin' is his fifth release on DC, taking inspiration from a '90s D&B classic. Driven by a Minimoog bassline and hypnotic arpeggios, Smith, a renowned perfectionist, made six versions before settling on the final cuts. The original is stripped back and searing, perfect for late night moments as restrained vocal grabs add colour to the techno palette. The 'Ombi Dub' is a straight-up propulsive tool that hits you straight between the eyes.
