Rob SmithÆs name is synonymous with the æBristol SoundÆ of the late
80Æs and early 90Æs. Along with Ray Mighty he produced and remixed
under the name Smith & Mighty.
æUp On The DownsÆ is Rob SmithÆs debut solo album on Grand Central.
Rob Smith has worked on many projects out of the Smith & Mighty
mantel, he always has, whether solo as æBlue & RedÆ or with Pete
Rose as æMore RockersÆ. ô..although itÆs not the first thing IÆve
done on my own, itÆs the first album IÆve done making all the
decisions myselfö Signing to Grand Central as Rob Smith is a
progression in the career of a true musical pioneer who is
relishing the opportunity to work with another stable of like
minded producerÆs, musicians and vocalists such as Aim and Funky
Fresh Few.
The albumÆs roots are in Reggae, Dub, Drum NÆ Bass, Punk and Hip
Hop, There is soaring strings, deep, deep bass, JungleàôI love old
string arrangements, still love Dub, real drummers, 50Æs/60Æs
female vocals..everythingö the vocal tracks go from Dirty MCÆs to
R&B vocals from Bristol to Jamaica and back again! ôBristol has
always somehow brimmed with musical talent, even from way before
the big three era, it still doesö
æUp On The DownsÆ is out 10th November. Also look out for the
limited edition 12ö æAngels In PovertyÆ featuring Kelz who will
also be appearing with Rob on a number of live dates. Rob will be
appearing at the Grand Central Ninth Birthday Party at The Academy,
Manchester on 1st November, as well as the album launch at Friends
& Family on Saturday 15th November.
