Quote By Lucy Fur:
Wayne's energetic sets, pitch perfect mixing and driving sound has made him in my top 3 DJ's of the past 5 years. I never missed a Smartie set at home ever. His technical ability to mix is literally like the turntables are an extention of his arms. And we love the POP! That pop. I have played many times b2b with Wayne and all have been so enjoyable x Every production he does is my favourite type of HH. Label manager and resident for both Encoded NRG and Frantic UK have seen him play some of the biggest stages at home. Some of my fav ever sets at the Tidy Weekenders have been Wayne's. Tune after tune, 'Frantic', 'Bad To The Bone', 'ibass' and remixes like '999 Matrix Red Pill' and 'Beat Of The Drum' have been hammered by all the biggest names in the industry and appeared on countless albums. Wayne's 'It's My Pussy' I have decided is my favourite HH tune EVER. I could go on and on, but will leave it there! Absolutely made up this is happening! Love you Smartie xx
