Smith & Pledger's style is best categorised as classy and melodic, leading Mixmag to recently describe them as "the best thing happen in trance this year". In 2004 their most recent production, "Believe", became a global club anthem for the likes of Paul Oakenfold (including in his Radio 1 Ibiza Essential Mix) and Ferry Corsten, as well as riding high in the cool cuts chart. Prior to that, the duo's first single "Forever", featuring vocalist Carrie Skipper, earned massive support from A-list DJ's such as Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond and Markus Schulz.
Olie and Mark have also collaborated successfully in the studio with former Gatecrasher resident DJ Matt Hardwick. Their first production together, "Day One", was hailed by DJ Magazine as the "instrumental trancer of the year" and earned widespread support from the world’s leading DJ's, including Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk. "Connected", the follow-up single, proved just as popular, picking up a "Record of the Week" gong on Armin Van Buuren's radio show and earning multiple Radio 1 Specialist Dance plays.
In addition to their own solo productions, Smith & Pledger have completed remixes for a wide range of leading labels such as Anjunabeats, Lost Language, DATA, Intensive, Direction, Incentive, and Mondo (see below for full discog).
On the DJ'ing front, 2004 proved to a breakthrough year for Smith & Pledger. As well as a raft of international gigs, the guys appeared regularly at the UK's leading clubs including Godskitchen and Passion, and as result of their strong performances, have recently been offered a residency at the prestigious Gallery night at Turnmills in London. Smith & Pledger's DJ sets feature melodic yet uplifting and dance-floor friendly tracks, with a strong focus on debuting their own brand new productions.
As well as their frequent club commitments, Smith & Pledger have performed guest mixes on radio stations such as Galaxy and Kiss100, and also regularly appear on international shows such Markus Schulz' Global DJ Broadcast and Judge Jules' Global Warm Up.
2005 Saw one of their most memorable tracks to date in the shape of the exquisite 'Northern Lights' , this slice of classic S&P melodic trance being a firm favourite of Paul Van Dyk.
Now into 2006, making an early mark with the beautiful 5 times radio 1 playlisted remix of Luminary's 'Amsterdam' , they look set to continue their stronghold on creating captivating melodic trance.

Smith & Pledger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you never believed me
I was on the run, always doing 360
Told you I would never let me be alone
Now you wanna call me on my telephone
Told you I was sorry
But you never believed me
I was on the run, always doing 360
Now you wanna call me on my telephone
I believe in me
I believe in you
I believe in pain
I believe in God
I believe that the weight of the past is a part of me
I was looking for a way off my misery
Hey hey, please please
Hey, please please
Believe me when I tell you am not coming back
Believe me when I tell you I am done with that na na
Told you I was sorry
But you never believed me
I was on the run, always doing 360
Told you I would never let me be alone
Now you wanna call me on my telephone
Your love is nostalgic
Your heart is traumatic
Why you play all these games
Shey you no dey use brain
Making me go insane
Time to switch up the game
Stop the pretending
How could you say you always loved us
We could be flexing
You bring up your friends when we wan turn up
And you a hoe and you know it too
I need my space and I need it soon
Told you I was sorry
But you never believed me
I was on the run, always doing 360
Told you I would never let me be alone
Now you wanna call me on my telephone
Told you I was sorry
But you never believed me
I was on the run, always doing 360
Told you I would never let me be alone
Now you wanna call me on my telephone
The Smith & Pledger song "Believe" seems to be about a troubled relationship that is on the brink of ending. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of the person who is begging for forgiveness but is not being believed. They apologize for their past mistakes, but the other person is still hurt and has trouble trusting them. The person in the song seems to be struggling to find a way out of their misery and pain, and the other person is not making it easier for them.
The chorus of the song delivers a message of hope as it repeats the line "I believe in me, I believe in you, I believe in pain, I believe in God" several times. This may indicate that the person singing the song is trying to hold on to their faith and hope that things will get better in their relationship.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and desperation, as the singer wants to be believed and supported but is not getting that. They seem to be at their wit's end and have decided that they need space and time to sort out their problems.
The song delivers a poignant message about the difficulties of relationships and the importance of trust and communication. It shows how a lack of trust and understanding can be devastating for a relationship and can make it difficult for people to move forward and find happiness.
