Few artists have risen to prominence as quickly as George Smeddles. Staying true to his deep musical roots—heavily influenced by Garage, Motown, Jazz, House, Soul, and Funk—George has crafted a unique take on house music that has set him apart on the global stage, all while still being relatively early in his career. Bursting onto the scene in 2018 with the unforgettable ‘Shake Your Body,’ he paved the way for a meteoric rise that shows no signs of slowing. Since then, he has consistently delivered high-impact releases, including ‘Start The Party’—a track that claimed the #1 spot across all genres on Beatport in 2019. 2022 was a landmark year, marked by the launch of his ‘South’ record label, featuring music from Max Dean, Prunk, and Smeddles himself. His success was further amplified by a collaborative EP with Darius Syrossian on DFTD, which held onto Beatport’s #1 spot for five weeks with ‘Back In The Dance.’ Adding to his accolades, he delivered an official remix of Indeep’s classic ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My Life’, further cementing his place as one of the industry's most exciting and authentic talents. Beyond the studio, George Smeddles is a committed performer with an impressive international résumé. Among his most notable appearances are fabriclondon, Amnesia Ibiza, CRSSD Festival, and Glastonbury. Looking ahead, 2023 is shaping up to be another milestone year. With a Defected performance at Dream Valley Festival in the UK and upcoming releases on South and Ben Rau’s META label, George is set to spread the Smeddles ethos even further—through expertly crafted, captivating house music.
