Jean Jacques Smoothie (aka Steve Robson) is an Englishman, living in Wales, pretending to be French. He is best know for the chart topping house hit, 2People which sampled Minnie Ripperton and became and still is a staple of BBC Radio 1. Smoothie is currently working on a collection of laid back, disco infused deep house tunes with Mabuk Recordings. He can be found DJing at venues around his home town of Cardiff, Wales along with regular festival appearances. 1996 and Mr Smoothie started off spinning dub and hip hop at the legendary Space Station in Cardiff with fellow breaks fans Phantom Beats and Captain Spec X-Ray. The Captain and the Smoothie, armed with two of the silliest names in DJ-dom head off around the world capturing hearts and minds alike. When he returned Smoothie decided to settle into a long period in the studio. After a couple of releases on Plastic Raygun and some naughty bootleg style remixes, 2People was launched upon a ravenously expectant public. The Minnie Ripperton sampling dreamy house vibe caught the ears of none other than legendary producer’s Mirwais (of Madonna-producing fame) and Mark Brydon (one half of Moloko) who took it under their wing and into their studios. A few months later and it was a smash UK hit, being used on adverts and driving everyone crazy with its infectious hook. What followed for Smoothie was a year of TV appearances, global DJ dates, remixes for Kylie Minogue, Kirsty Hawkshaw and general VIP behaviour. <br>
