Initially blowing up on TikTok with 17M organic plays, “I Only Smoke When I Drink” is currently clocking in at over 500,000 plays per day, has spent nine consecutive weeks on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Chart, reached #57 on the official UK Singles Chart, has moved up to the BBC Radio 1 A list, and has amassed over 100k Shazams since its release. Wonderland has it on repeat, Diplo is rinsing it in his sets and Music Ally analyzed the strategy behind its success.

The song is just a glimpse of nimino’s knack for catchy songwriting. Paired with his unique world-building techniques, nimino creates a rich palette of illusory, lo-fi, UKG-flecked house and hip-hop that has caught on in a serious way. Claptone deftly takes these soft, fuzzy sounds and reimagines a bouncy, tech house-laced foundation for them while retaining the magic of the lead synths and vocals.
