A pivotal figure on the Moscow nightscape, DJ Smash, a.k.a. Andrey Shirman, serves up a fresh pack of modern club tracks suffused with the spirit of synth-pop and New Wave in Smash World. His brand of house is fun, vibrant and cosmopolitan, transforming King’s Brit hit "Love & Pride" into a glittering disco-tinged dance anthem. Vocalist Stephen Ridley also lends his longing vocals to two tracks—“Lovers 2 Lovers”, an erotic deep house-meets-electro ode, and the poppy “The Night Is Young”, where steadfast beats are pierced by textured keys and fiery saxophone accents.
