Producers/DJ’s may come and go but gay icon, model, and mild mannered electronic music creative genius comes but once in a lifetime. Riton has been hailed by the underground as the ‘Producers Producer counting Laurent Garnier, Trevor Jackson, Richard Dorfmeister and Ewan Pearson as fans. He is on of Europe’s hottest remixers. Counting in his successes reworks for artists as diverse as The Scissor Sisters, Mylo, Chikinki, The Human League and Run DMC

Riton (French slang for Henry) is one super talented dude. As a producer, Henry Smithson has released a lot of diverse material, from his well known singles on Get Physical and Souvenir to his new wave remixes of Datarock (Norway), Para One (France) and Simian Mobile Disco (UK). He’s even remixed Justin Timberlake.

Riton DJs by himself, and also together with Ben Rhymer from the Fat Truckers as the Gucci Soundystem, who regularly rock East London. He's also been putting on the Chalk nights in London that features anything from Baltimore, to indie kids with guitars, to French electro housers. Finally last random fact – and Henry's a pretty shy guy about himself so this comes via a secret source – Riton won a disco dancing competition at age eight. Skills.
