Andy Smith Andy Smith was the first DJ to release a multi-genre mix album on a major label. When his mix-CD The Document hit the streets back in 1998' It segued tracks from artists such as Tom Jones (way before he came back in vogue with Reload and newer tracks such as recent top ten hit Stoned in Love); Peggy Lee (sample source for the Beastie Boys single Ch-Check It Out); The Jungle Brothers and even The Spencer Davis Group. This was new to record buyers but for Smith a mixed bag of treasures has always formed the typical contents of his DJ set. This appreciation of different genres made Smith the ideal person to provide sample material for Portishead on their first two albums. He went on to make his name as the band's international tour DJ – reflecting their respect for both the art of digging for breaks and hip-hop scratch DJ-ing. Hip-hop elements formed the basis of the unique Portishead sound Since then he has supplied samples for other acts including The Prodigy & Lack Of Afro Andy has released many other DJ mix Cds including 'Andy Smith Trojan Document', 'Andy Smiths Greensleeves Document', 'Andy Smiths Northern Soul', 'Jam Up Twist' and the fortchcoming' Reach Up - Disco Wonderland' compilation on BBE records Andy was included in the Top 20 Greatest DJ’s of all time in this Future music website: http://www.musicradar.com/news/dj/the-20-greatest-djs-of-all-time-399014/6
