Youandewan

Youandewan is the recording name of Ewan Smith, a DJ and producer associated with float house and lo‑fi house. Working under his own name as well as the Youandewan alias, Smith’s output sits in the strain of house music that favors soft-focus textures, understated grooves, and a lived-in, intimate feel rather than maximalist club dynamics.

Born in Scotland and raised in Yorkshire, Smith later relocated to Berlin, where he has been based since 2013. The move placed him in one of Europe’s most active centers for electronic music, and his work as Youandewan reflects the city’s long-running interest in deep, atmospheric club sounds alongside more home-listening-oriented strains of house.

Smith’s releases have appeared on labels including The Brane Records, Small Hours, and Eclipser Chaser. Across these outlets, Youandewan has remained focused on a consistent palette within contemporary house: warm low end, hazy melodic fragments, and rhythms that often feel relaxed without losing forward motion. The Youandewan name is used for productions that sit comfortably between dancefloor utility and the more introspective edges of lo‑fi and float house, where fidelity and texture can be treated as expressive elements rather than technical limitations.

In addition to producing, Smith is active as a DJ, aligning his recorded work with the practical demands of mixing and club play. His background across Scotland and Yorkshire, followed by a long-term base in Berlin, frames a career rooted in the UK’s house continuum while also shaped by the aesthetics and infrastructure of the Berlin electronic scene.
