Editorial Reviews

Rob Smith’s name is synonymous with the ‘Bristol Sound’ of the late 80’s and early 90’s. Along with Ray Mighty and later on Peter D. Rose they produced and remixed under the name Smith & Mighty. Up On The Downs is Rob Smith’s debut solo album for Grand Central.

Rob Smith has worked on many projects out of the Smith & Mighty mantel, he always has, whether solo as Blue & Red or with Pete Rose as More Rockers. Signing to Grand Central is a progression in the career of a true musical pioneer who is relishing the opportunity to work with another stable of like-minded producers, musicians and vocalists such as Aim and Funky Fresh Few.

The album’s roots are in Reggae, Dub, Drum N’ Bass, Punk and Hip Hop, There’s soaring strings, deep, deep bass, Jungle. The vocal tracks go from dirty MC’s to R&B vocals from Bristol to Jamaica and back again!
