Greg Packer

From Gregs Myspace: Greg began Dj-ing in 1989 at the age of 17 shortly after emigrating to Perth Western Australia from Northampton England, he had been a heavy collector of vinyl since 1982 and since he already had a collection of 1000+ he decided it was time to purchase some decks and get seriously into dj-ing. The music Greg was collecting in the 80's was mainly hip hop, electro, soul & funk and a bit of reggae/dub, when he began mixing it was strictly hip hop until late 1990 when Greg was taken to a club in Perth called Limbo's and heard a Dj 'Dave Jackson' spin some early house...

With an emphasis on tight grooves, melodic songs, and sophisticated improvisation, Smokestack has developed a truly unique and refreshing sound.

Optiv & BTK

Taken from a "Knowledge Magazine" interview(1st June,2012) with Optiv,BTK and Optical: "Optical: [...]I think what has made this work for me is that BTK brings from his music the breakbeat production and rhythms that make you want to dance and Optiv is a master at sounds and bass, particularly his own take on the psychedelic filtered stab sounds once found in techno, they just talk to you and he has mastered the art. Together they form a really great combination of all the things that make a good track work."
