Robert Smit

Real Name:
Robert Jan Smit
Profile:
Robert, born in 1973, started buying records at an early age when he met Ferry Corsten and found out that they shared the same interest: House Music.
Both started mixing tapes for friends and when they met Rene and John who had their own small music studio. The four joined forces which resulted in Robertís first record production entitled Spirit of Adventure for Hithouse Records at the age of 18.
His 2nd release Tellurians The Navigator was a huge underground hit in Germany in 1992.
From then on Ferry and Robert went their own way with productions for Blue Records under the name of Alternative and Bladeracer.
Robert's first solo project appeared in 1995 under the name Kcrushed One.
He produced Release yourself and for the Dutch label Native Dance Records and SciFi Records. His first commercial success was when Robert produced together with Ferry Roef-Outthere for Byte Records.
From 1998 Robert and Ferry got together with the Dutch Purple Eye Entertainment - joined forces in Tsunami, a label for which they both produce.
For this label Robert is responsible for Elektrika, The Generator and 2HD. Due to the success of the label abroad they started Polar State in the beginning of 1999 as Tsunami as sub-label.
Robert produced the first and second release on this label. The first was called Generator-Where are you now? and has been licensed to various countries around the world. The second single is called "Perfect Pervert" by Caveman.
Under the Caveman pseudonym Robert has produced the massive "E-play" track which has been released on the Tsunami special blend label. Also later out on Tsunami Special Blend Smiter with "Both Places", this track was picked-up by Djís like Paul van Dijk and Dj Tiesto.
Robert also co-produced the massive follow-up single of system F "Out of the blue" entiteld Cry.
This track took trance to a different level combining soulful vocals by Saskia Lie Atjam with typical trance sound.
Rank 1, Oliver Lieb and Ferry Corsten provided additional remixes.
Furthermore Robert made a mix compilation album together with Ferry Corsten called Tsunami One which was released in 2000.
Tsunami One was a success world-wide and Robertís mix set the tone for a new compilation concept called "Time Zones + 1" that will be mixed solely by Robert in 2002.
One of his latest productions is called Stargate vs The Generator The Arrivalî and is already licensed to label Good As in the UK.
Also released on the Polar state imprint is Robert first production under his own name, Robert Smit "It's in the game". This 12 will set the tone for a new future sound of dance music around the globe
Also as a Dj, Robert is already a well known appearance in the international scene.
His specific sound creates a warm and floorfilling set that can be heard all over the globe. His sets can be heard in cities like; LA, Seoul, Tel Aviv and Valletta (Malta)
In short Robert is setting tone for a beautiful future and you better watch out for this talented producer/Dj.

Music is in the eye of the beholder
