What better way to mark the 20th anniversary of Tronic, his forward-thinking label, than creating a new artist album? Christian Smith stands out as one of the world's leading exponents of inventive, diverse techno and "Stranger Than Paradise" continues his enthralling, ever-evolving musical journey with aplomb. The fact that Tronic is one of the Top 5 selling techno labels in the world is a mark of a man who stands for nothing less than pure quality. Having previously released benchmark, critically acclaimed LPs - "Omakase" (2013) and "Director's Cut (2010) - Christian Smith is no stranger to creating supreme, dancefloor orientated albums, that explore and showcase his diverse musical style. Both as a DJ and producer, he is always innovative and bold, a leader not a follower. Alongside the jaw-dropping excellence of the solo tracks, this new album also features dynamic, inventive collaborations with Wehbba (Christian's great friend and regular collaborator), the New York based house music legend Cevin Fisher, long-time studio collaborator John Selway (of Smith & Selway fame), and Christian's childhood friend and hip-hop artist Arcturus Ra.
