The complete interview was live-streamed to the PyramindSF.TV Twitch channel. Greg speaks with Smasheltooth, a West Coast Dj, artist, and producer whose new album Smashel of Liberty comes out spring of 2023 on Mal Label Music. Smasheltooth, or “Smash” for short, gives us a look into how her life experiences and musical influences shaped her DJ career and her quest to release her first full-length album, which includes both unreleased music from nearly a decade ago, and new songs from the past few years including collaborations with Rappin' Forte and other notable artists.
Her career has taken her from working in live sound and the film industry in LA to being a touring DJ and performer. All the while, Smash has unapologetically brought her love for Hip-Hop, Hyphy, Punk, Dance Hall, and especially Mac Dre to the Bass and Dance music scene.
After this episode was recorded, Smash headlined Pyramind Live in front of an invite-only VIP audience, where she played her first-ever set of all original music with support from fellow female DJ, Source Zero.
