I've often thought it would be nice to have a wingman up there, although in this case, it's actually a wingwoman. I don't know of any other mixed sex DJ duos, let alone any husband and wife teams, so I think we're definitely breaking some new ground here".Christopher continues "Mr + Mrs Smith' is an opportunity for me to play music that I couldn't normally incorporate into my trance sets".So what is the sound? "I would describe it as electro house meets techno" says Sara. "But we'll play any genre, we don't care what it is as long as it's tough and sexy, with a groove".One thing is for certain, dance music's newest Dj duo has everyone talking..."Mr Smith" (AKA Christopher Lawrence) needs no introduction.
