Back in February the Glasgow based Smear headed over to Ireland to play at the Dublin based night Earwiggle, this is the recording of his beast of a set.

Strong armed British techno has enjoyed a resurgence over the last few years, and playing his part in that is Scottish dj/producer Smear. Also one half of the production duo Forward Strategy Group, Smear dj-ed for us in February of this year at The Underground @ Kennedy’s, when he joined Perc as one of our esteemed international guests on the night. The recorded result of his set is exactly as we remembered – both beautiful and ugly, and nothing in between. Check it out.
