Oliver Smith firmly planted his finger on the pulse of trance music from the very moment that the musical heart of Anjunabeats began to palpitate, and he’s kept it there ever since. Smith’s leadership in the mixing and ensuing release of what would go on to become Anjunabeats’ most commercially successful compilation to date, Anjunabeats Worldwide 08, evidences the ever-ascending momentum of the inaugural artist that the Anjuna imprint would sign.
Smith’s succession of melodic progressive house and trance-leaning singles only further exemplifies Smith’s productive finesse and provides an extensive catalog of selections for Anjunabeats’ “Best of Oliver Smith 2001-2018 Continuous Mix.” The three-hour effort shuffles through some of Smith’s finest offerings, intermingling Smith productions with releases from fellow Anjuna entities like Meramek, Above & Beyond, and Spencer Brown to make for an ambient mix.
