Smithmonger (AKA Paul Smith) from Tasmania, Australia was originally a professional trumpet player trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before turning his attention to underground dance music. He moved to London turning heads with releases on labels such as Loaded, TCR, 10Kilo, Hooj Choons, and Bushwakka's Oblong.

In the last few years, it's safe to say everyone from Coxy to Boy George has had a Smithmonger tune in their box and Monger has officially made his entry to the big leagues.

Smithmonger has recently returned to Tasmania to work on an album and bring up a mini-Smithmonger. However, he keeps strong ties with London thanks to the strong Breaks presence in Hobart.
