Smallville Records tonight offers a one-way trip to Detroit inviting Omar S, the new prince of the most influential city to the history of techno. Alex "Omar S" Smith is one of the few artists still representing and living the true soul of the Detroit techno through its productions and its djsets. Omar S is, since his early days, immersed in the Detroit and Chicago house techno scene and started his career as a dj in 1993 alongside the famous Joe Claussel in one of his first Manhattan's club. In 2001, he released 70 copies of his first test pressing on his own FXHE label.Encouraged by a Theo Parrish impressed with this first cut, Omar S released his second EP in 2003 with sales quickly exploding thanks to his underground hits and already classic "U" (instrumental) and "Miss You." From the third EP onwrd, the FXHE label is also distributed in Europe, where it is experiencing an instant success. Omar S since produced several albums and EPs where his unique and inimitable style is kickin'. His influences as a composer are also found in his sets mixing deep house, disco, soulful tech funk and his own productions, revealing to the public the new Detroit sound only him, Derrick May, Carl Craig and Theo Parrish among others possess the secret.
