Take a closer look at Rich Smith, head A&R of Kill The Lights and one of the growing number of talented producers the Militant Artists has on their roster…
Termed as a "Rising Star" by popular dance music magazine Mixmag, Rich Smith is undeniably one of the most talented producers out there at the moment, as well as holding the title of one of the nicest and hardest working artists on the scene! As a long-standing member of the Recoverworld Label Group, he took over the responsibility from Matt Hardwick, to become Head of A&R for Kill the Lights - a label synonymous with uplifting and euphoric floor-fillers.
To this day, his production values reflect this ethos and his massive anthems are engineered for peak time dance floor euphoria. He has held residencies at a number of UK clubs such as Kinetic, Junction 21 & Xero, as well as rocking dance floors throughout Europe and Canada. This has lead to him playing alongside some of the world's biggest DJ's, including Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Sean Tyas, The Thrillseekers and John Askew, to mention just a few.
