Back in September 2023 deviate saw Dennis Leick aka dreadmaul, drive a car load full of instruments and equipment from Mainz to Berlin. What followed was a completely original live-productions set. The vibe was beyond something special and truly legendary. We wanted to release this set despite some technical challenges with recording devices (as is the nature with “live”), its just too good to leave sitting on hard-drives. Thanks, peace and love out to the one and only dreadmaul and of course to all deviate supporters.

Hailing from the depths of the Pacific, swisherman has since adapted to life as a land based DJ & producer, whilst not forgetting his roots below sea level. 

swisherman brings a considered approach to his selections & productions, with over a decade of experience in soundtracking warehouse parties, abandoned spaces, dusty dancefloors & the occasional legitimate venue in & around Eora/Sydney in Australia, as well as recent gigs in Japan & New Zealand. No stranger to outdoor festivals, swisherman has also brought his unique blend of deep, minimal & meditative dance music to gatherings across Australia and NZ, including Twisted Frequency (NZ), Dragon Dreaming, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Earth Frequency, Subsonic, Psyfari, Armada, Art Valley, Zenith Gathering, Origins Of Entropy, & many more. 

swisherman is a core member of DUNJ, a crew who throw parties all over the city, from abandoned and unused spaces all the way to iconic venues like the Opera House. This is where he gets to show off the deeper and darker side of his music collection.  

swisherman also works full time as a post production audio engineer, so he knows a thing or two about making audio sound as good as it needs to be for maximum enjoyment and auditory absorption. 

swisherman is inspired by misty mornings, home built sound systems and plants that grow in the gutter. His DJ sets explore the more deep, minimal and meditative side of the electronic music spectrum. With an emphasis on low frequency vibrations, swisherman will envelope your mind, body & soul...

Also keep an ear on my new alias - 'Lopro' - a place for me to consolidate my visions of deep techno/tekno/trance/boom boom/untz untz type music.

A bass event series launched in 2018 by Berlin based DJ Sammy B with the concept to depart from accepted "normalisms"  in the breakbeat dance scene. The goal is to promote less known producers and DJ's, under-rated artists, FLINTA artists, and encourage diverse genre pushing sets without discrimination.
