About

Riton, real name Henry Smithson, is an English electronic DJ and producer from Newcastle upon Tyne who has been active since the late 1990s. He operates under several aliases including Eine Kleine Nacht Musik and Lil' Papi Riton, with his first documented Electrobuzz release appearing in September 2014. Smithson runs his own imprint Love & Other, which serves as a primary outlet for his productions.

His sound spans house, deep house, and peak-time driving techno, with recent ventures into dance and electro pop territories. Riton releases music across major labels including Warner Records, Polydor Records, and the respected UK house imprint Hot Creations. His productions typically maintain high energy levels suitable for peak-time DJ sets, with his house tracks featuring deeper, groove-focused elements and his techno output delivering driving, floor-focused rhythms. His catalog has evolved from underground house foundations toward more commercially-oriented dance music, as evidenced by his recent releases on major label Warner Records in 2024.
