Youandewan

Berlin-based DJ/producer Youandewan can craft dancefloor fillers just as easily as he can produce deep introspective cuts. Born Ewan Smith, he spent his early life in the U.K., where he learned the ropes of DJ'ing and producing. His debut EP, Scarlett, emerged in 2006 through Moma Recordings, and displayed a dancefloor oriented style, an approach that prevailed on the EPs that followed. However, he eventually left the U.K. -- and a long-term relationship -- to move to Berlin. It was in the German culture capital that Smith wrote and recorded his debut album, There Is No Right Time, which reflected the chillier and far more nuanced tone that he had been developing since relocating. The album appeared on Will Saul's Aus Music label. ~ Liam Martin
