Very few house and techno artists have achieved the quality and consistency of Alex O. Smith, AKA Omar-S. He's been releasing a steady flow of 12-inches out of Detroit for over a decade, and the results are rarely anything less than excellent. Smith takes his artistic independence very seriously. Nearly all of his music comes out through his own FXHE label, and he's known as a straight-talking guy who does things on exactly his own terms. He's been on our podcast hit list for as long as any of us can remember.
