A cornerstone of the Rhythm & Sound catalogue, Smile sees Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus pairing their signature dub techno production with the soulful vocals of Savage. First released in 1999, the record captures the project at a moment where Berlin techno minimalism and classic Jamaican dub traditions merge seamlessly.
The title track floats over a deep, rolling bassline with spacious chords and echoing delays, while Savage’s vocal drifts through the mix with warmth and restraint. The accompanying version strips the track back into a spacious instrumental, allowing the hypnotic groove and dub effects to unfold in full.
