Welcome to Leyenda Radio where we bring you exclusive sets and recordings from the artists that played this year's Leyenda [https://leyendadelcorazon.com/] festival in Baja, MX. Our duo for this episode needs no introduction. Unless you've been living under a rock or missed the event for the last.... decade or so.... you know this force of nature behind the decks. So for the eighth episode of the Leyenda Radio Broadcast...
It's Fleetwood Smack.
Captivated by house, breaks, and the mid 90’s east coast rave culture they spawned, Adam and Niles have been fixated on Electronic Music for most of their lives. Though Adam started by playing jungle and drum n’ bass, by the height of the rave scene in Orlando in 1999, he was best known for moving the dancefloor with a blend of deep and funky house. 1,000 miles to the north, in addition to organizing his own events, Niles was working with the legendary Fever and
Buzz events of Baltimore and Washington, DC.
After meeting in Los Angeles and comparing collections, Adam and Niles immediately formed a camaraderie. With tastes so perfectly matched, playing together was a natural evolution. In their first public performance atop the Charlie The Unicorn art car at Burning Man 2011, they dropped a blend of funky, dirty, and electro house and breaks that slayed the dance floor. Immediately after returning their rented Fleetwood RV they took on the name Fleetwood Smack and in the
years to follow, have developed a unique sound blending a unifying element of funk across a variety of house and techno sub-genres.
In 2016, they produced their first track, Shake It Mamma, which climbed to 13 on Beatport’s Funky House chart. In the years since, they’ve released collaborations with DJ Dan, Mike Balance, Neighbour, and Skolo, regularly breaking the top 10. Between their production and a 31-year-old arsenal of music comprised of over 16,000 quality house, breaks, and techno tracks, Fleetwood Smack has what it takes to curate a sound that keeps the dance floor jumping.
