Black Light Smoke

Black Light Smoke is the electronic music moniker of Jordan Lieb - producer, songwriter, and Daytime Emmy Award winning film and tv composer. A Chicago native and child of 90s house music, Jordan transplanted to New York City in 2001, where his career as a multi-disciplined musician has taken flight in many forms.

Black Light Smoke first lit up the house music scene in 2010 with his EP “Lovework” (Scissor & Thread), which was spurred on by a remix from DJ T and a spot on Andrew Weatherall’s Masterpiece. He followed up with “Rough Cuts” (2013), delivering the dance floor banger “That’s My Yes”, and the 80s-synth-drenched “Firefly” (2014), two tracks from which were featured in Ana Lily Amirpour’s 2016 indie cult film “The Bad Batch”. With “City Life” and “Nothing Makes Me Feel (Good Anymore)” (2019) Black Light Smoke returned to his jacking and deep house roots.

Black Light Smoke has showcased his wide breadth of influences with releases on Voodoo Down, hafendisko, Cut Mistake Music, Nein Records, and his own imprint Death Decay Magic. His sound spans from house, techno, italo, EBM and post punk, often infused with his own haunting vocals. Black Light Smoke has performed his unique live set around the globe, including Fabric in London, Boiler Room, Robot Heart, the BPM festival in Mexico, and in many cities across North America.
