Smote

Smote is the evocative drone and folk project steered by Daniel Foggin, emerging from the United Kingdom’s rich experimental scene. Known for exploring ambient and drone genres, Smote crafts immersive sonic landscapes that entice listeners into a world of textured sound and subtle, evolving melody. The project’s catalogue highlights a restless creative drive: releases such as the album “Genog” and the more recent “A Grand Stream” reveal a sophisticated approach to sound design and composition.

Smote has recently shared the stage at Attic Bar in England, supporting Maidavale as part of the Down Stokes event in October 2025.

Looking ahead to May 2026, Smote steps into the spotlight as headliner at London’s renowned 100 CLUB, further cementing the project’s reputation within the UK’s vibrant live music scene.
