New single out now // Dopamine
https://weval.lnk.to/dopamineSO


Critically-acclaimed Dutch act Weval (AKA Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albers) arrive on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour imprint with their new EP Changed For The Better. The duo hail from Amsterdam, where they have been cultivating a unique sound that balances high energy electronic funk and emotive synth arrangements with bold, beautifully composed melodies and songwriting. The duo recently embarked on a mission to rediscover themselves and what truly drives them, in a process of liberation from self-imposed constraints. Their creative process was reinvigorated with an uninhibited approach and Changed For The Better represents Weval unfiltered, accepting themselves for who they truly are. It’s sincere and heartfelt and unashamedly positive.

ENZO MURO, A PERUVIAN-BORN DJ AND PRODUCER BASED IN LOS ANGELES, HAS BEEN CAPTIVATING AUDIENCES WITH HIS INNOVATIVE AND IMMERSIVE SOUND FOR OVER 12 YEARS. WITH A DEEP PASSION FOR MINIMAL AND HOUSE MUSIC, HE HAS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A KEY FIGURE IN THE LA SCENE, BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.

AFTER MOVING TO LOS ANGELES IN 2004, HE QUICKLY IMMERSED HIMSELF IN THE CITY'S VIBRANT MUSIC SCENE, HONING HIS SKILLS AS A DJ. HIS DEDICATION AND TALENT SOON CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF PROMOTERS AND CLUB OWNERS, LEADING TO NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOWCASE HIS SOUND.



AS A RESIDENT DJ OF DIALOGUE, A WELL-KNOWN UNDERGROUND PARTY IN LOS ANGELES, HE HAS PLAYED AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN SHAPING THE CITY'S ELECTRONIC MUSIC LANDSCAPE. HIS ABILITY TO SEAMLESSLY BLEND MINIMAL AND HOUSE MUSIC HAS EARNED HIM A LOYAL FOLLOWING AND A REPUTATION FOR DELIVERING UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCES.



IN ADDITION TO HIS RESIDENCY AT DIALOGUE, HE IS ALSO THE CO-FOUNDER AND RESIDENT DJ OF YOUKNOWWHAT (YKW), ANOTHER POPULAR UNDERGROUND PARTY IN LOS ANGELES. HIS VISION FOR YKW WAS TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE AND VIBRANT SPACE FOR MUSIC LOVERS TO CONNECT AND SHARE THEIR PASSION FOR MUSIC.

THESE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES HAVE FURTHER ENRICHED HIS MUSICAL STYLE, ALLOWING HIM TO CONNECT WITH DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND SHARE HIS PASSION ON A GLOBAL SCALE.

Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.

T. Griffin has created evocative, atmospheric music for over 60 feature length films, and dozens of live and multimedia projects. Notable titles include 2020 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Boys State, the Academy-Award nominated Life, Animated and multiple festival award winners Quest, The Overnighters, and Welcome to Leith. Griffin created scores for several documentary series, including Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s Love Fraud for Showtime, Jesse Moss' The Family, and the hit series Keep Sweet, both for Netflix.  He has composed and performed live film/music events with filmmakers including Sam Green, Jem Cohen, and the Warhol Factory films of the late Danny Williams. These shows have toured internationally and been presented by The Barbican, BAM Next Wave, The Walker Art Center, The Melt Down Festival, Big Ears Festival, and dozens of other festivals and museums. He has worked with luminaries of the independent music world including Patti Smith, Vic Chesnutt, The Kronos Quartet, Tim Hecker, Mary Margaret O'Hara and members of The Ex, Dirty Three, Fugazi and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Griffin's score for Jill Magid's art-world docu-thriller, The Proposal, was released in a deluxe vinyl package by Constellation Records in June of 2021. He was a fellow at the Sundance Composers' Lab in 2008, has twice been nominated for Cinema Eye Honors for Original Music Score and in 2021 was inducted into the Academy of Motion Pictures. He is based in Brooklyn, New York.

It was in 2011 that Dutch pair Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets quickly broke through in the electronic music scene. Since then they have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep to disco, tech to soul, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling and do so in clubs around the world, as well as in their studio. House might be the root of the Dam Swindle sound, but it takes nourishment from a much wider world of music. 

Still now, their breakthrough tunes such as ‘The Wrap Around’ and ‘The Break Up’ receive countless plays on dancefloors all over the world and the duo has made timeless music such as their 2023 disco-house bomb ‘ That’s right’ and 90’s throwback banger ‘Allright – just a tribute’ that became one of the hits of the 2024 festival summer. Dam Swindle has built a trademark sound, while still evolving and maturing their craft in various musical niches. Their landmark 2018 album High Life shows a broad musicality from the duo and this is even more so on their highly anticipated 2025 long player ‘Open’.  ‘Open’ features countless collaborations with high-profile artists such as Dutch pianist Joep Beving and New York-based Ethiopian vocalist Haile Supreme, and sees the duo flex their sound from ambient electronica to synthwave, hiphouse and more. 

Since 2013, the pair has also established their record label Heist Recordings as one of the key independent labels for underground dance music, while also releasing music on other underground mainstays such as Aus Music and Classic Music Company. Heist is more than just a label, though - it is a breeding ground for talents old and new; somewhere talent is nurtured and allowed to develop. Label showcases and special projects such as the yearly Roundup EP; where all artists from the past 12 months remix each other after a random selection process, furthers the family vibe and helps Heist stand out from crowd. Artists such as Cinthie, DJ Sneak, Crackazat, Tesfa Williams, Makèz, Pépé Bradock, Matthew Herbert, Ge-Ology, Byron the Aquarius and many more have all contributed, proving that it is a place for unrestrained creatives to be free with their own sonic visions. The label looks as good as it sounds, too, thanks to visual artist Bas Koopmans's standout artwork designs. 
 
Proof of Dam Swindle's widescreen approach to production is their long and talented list of collaborators, which includes the likes of acclaimed musician Tom Misch, US talent Seven Davis Jr., instrumental collective Jungle by Night, plus Marc de Clive-Lowe, Jitwam and Lorenz Rhode. Next to their own originals, a broad spectrum of artists have asked Dam Swindle for some of their special remix magic: on labels like Strut and Soundway they have reworked the legendary Pat Thomas, aka the ‘Golden voice of Africa,' and gave his single ‘Yamona’ a contemporary electronic edge, as well as The Mauskovic Dance Band’s track ‘Space Drum Machine’ and plenty more artists like Kerri Chandler, Mayer Hawthorne and Tom Misch. As their talent for bridging genres from all over the world continues to attract global attention, high-profile projects keep rolling in from all points on the musical globe. 

Dam Swindle are famously avid collectors of both old and new records, and it shows in their DJ sets, which keep you on your toes as they move freely through the broad world of house music with skillfully blended moods of soulful techno, acid, breaks, disco and more, all to create those special moments that crowds never forget. It is for that reason that their name has become a real stamp of authority and invention in the dance music world. Whatever they do, then, this pair do with irresistible charm.
