Dam Swindle: The Disco Darling of Aus Music
Ah, Dam Swindle! Not to be mistaken for a dodgy estate agent, these guys are the real deal when it comes to shaking up the dancefloor. Known for their notorious crate digging, they’ve turned the act of rifling through dusty records into an art form. Their latest offering, Allright (Just A Tribute), has become the darling of DJs everywhere this summer. Yes, it’s celebratory and yes, it’s getting all the love at festivals, but what’s truly exciting is their latest EP—two new studio gems that add more sparkle to our already glistening dancefloors.
Now let’s get into the nitty-gritty, shall we?
This EP marks the second installment in a prestigious series of four releases from the legendary Aus Music. It’s a label that has been handpicking the crème de la crème of the scene since 2006. Will Saul must have a crystal ball because he’s consistently delivered us the freshest sounds of melodic deep house and bass-driven post-dubstep fusions. Basically, if your Spotify playlist has a soul and some groove, it’s probably due to Aus Music’s magic touch.
The EP kicks off with ‘The Last Time’, and let me tell you, it doesn’t waste a second getting into your emotional core. With its blissful deep house vibes and passionate vocal screams, it’s like a heartwarming hug from an old friend. Add to that some mellifluous synths that dance about in a hauntingly comforting way, and you’ve got a track that tugs at your heartstrings while simultaneously making you want to shake your groove thing. Who knew heartbreak could sound so… danceable?
Next, we’re treated to ‘Come Back’, which is like stepping into a neon-lit dream. It’s infectious, bubbly, and the kind of track that you’d blast while driving with the windows down, letting the world know you have impeccable taste. With catchy synths and a cheeky garage shuffle sneaking through, it’ll have you tapping your feet even if you’re just sitting at your desk pretending to work. (I see you!)
But hold on, we’re not done yet! The remix brigade swings in heavier as K-LONE, the new school house tastemaker and part of the Aus Music family, takes the reins for ‘The Last Time’. His version is nothing short of slick—soft-focus chords paired with prickly garage house rhythms stitch together a sound that’s as pleasant as it is slightly melancholic. The distant vocals and cavernous bass create a late-night magic that begs for those 3 AM dancefloor moments.
And to round it all out, we’ve got Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD working their magic on ‘Come Back’. With their background on labels like Fabric Originals, their version is a masterclass in bass-heavy sounds, expertly stripped down to bring out the dirtiest low-end swings and sinuous drums. It’s fun, effective, and downright naughty. You might even find yourself questioning whether you should have worn a sequined outfit tonight—because they’re about to bring the party to your living room!
In conclusion, Dam Swindle’s latest EP is a sparkling testament to the timelessness of house and disco. It’s rich, dynamic, and most importantly, oh-so-danceable. I reckon even your grandma would boogie to this—she just needs the right encouragement and the right playlist!
So, crank up the volume, hit play, and prepare to fall in love with these grooves. After all, who doesn’t love a good bit of swindle on the dancefloor?
Dam Swindle delivers timeless, trend-free sounds steeped in dancefloor energy with a nod to disco heritage.
Dam Swindle, renowned for their expert crate digging, have graced the world’s most prestigious clubs with their vibrant sets. Their latest track, Allright (Just A Tribute), crafted in honor of Phonica’s remarkable 20-year journey, has enchanted DJs across the festival circuit this summer. In an exciting continuation of their artistry, they now present two more of their studio masterpieces as part of their upcoming third full-length album under Aus.
This EP marks the second installment in a carefully curated series of four releases, celebrating the landmark 200th release from the iconic Aus Music label, helmed by Will Saul. Since its inception in 2006, Aus Music has been instrumental in showcasing some of electronic music’s pioneering talents, often spotlighting artists before they reached mainstream acclaim. The label remains committed to delivering club-ready tracks that embody a sophisticated edge, ranging from melodic deep house to innovative bass-driven post-dubstep sounds.
This immersive EP opens with ‘The Last Time’, a captivating deep house track infused with passionate vocal screams that resonate deeply. The track features mellifluous synths that filter through the composition, creating an atmosphere that is both haunting and reassuring. Following this is ‘Come Back’, an irresistibly infectious house number that showcases catchy synth lines complemented by a garage-influenced shuffle in its kicks. This track exudes a vibrant energy, peppered with neon colors that resonate with soulful depth.
Joining the movement, the new school house and garage sensation, K-LONE, a vital member of the Aus Music family, steps in with a remix following his own successful two-part EP series on the label. His interpretation of ‘The Last Time’ is a masterclass in slick production, where soft-focus chords harmonize with prickly garage house rhythms. The mix is enriched with distant vocal layers, cavernous bass, and an underlying melancholic sentiment, further solidifying its status as a potential classic.
Finally, the dynamic duo of Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD, known for their powerful collaborations on esteemed labels like Fabric Originals and Chloé’s Pretty Weird, take on the track “Come Back.” Their remix skillfully strips down the original, enticing listeners with its blend of heavy low-end grooves, sinuous drum patterns, and striking chords that deliver a fun and impactful experience.
