House

For those unaware of the concept of the Round Up: Each artist that released on Heist in 2020 gets to remix another artist from that year. This year, there's the feel-good festival vibes on Crackazat remix of ‘Dakar Disco’ and the rolling tech goodness of Kassian’s remix of Nebraska’s bonkers track ‘Dip & Flip’. Pitto takes an excursion into deep dubbed out house with his remix of Kassian’s ‘8th Movement’ and Nebraska goes for a UK house meets US garage meets Christopher Walken’s cowbell solo on his remix of ‘Move out the way’ by Dam Swindle. The label heads take on their house stabs with their atmospheric and pumping remix of Teleseen’s ‘Dekalb’, while the latter goes for a worldly approach with his remix of ‘Discko’ by Pitto. There’s also the superb Detroit house approach from Scan 7 with their remix of Crackazat’s ‘Class one’, and we hear Alma Negra adding some vocal and synth layers to the gospel house of Scan7’s killer track ‘All for me’.

Label mainstays Fouk just dropped the perfect dancefloor Bomb with ‘Mirage’ paired with a high-octane Elisa Bee remix 

We all know Dutch duo Fouk from their soulful, bouncy take on house music. They’re also responsible for some of Heist’s biggest tracks like Kill Frenzy or their Lil Louis inspired 2021 release ‘Blue Steel’. On their new EP, the talented duo shows us a fresh side of their sound: the main-room hands-in-the-air-going-wild side. To top things off, Italian producer Elisa Bee made time in her busy schedule of DJ’ing and releasing for artists like Ben Sims on his Hardgroove imprint and Unknown to the Unknown to deliver a killer remix of the title track. 

Fouk’s return to Heist after 3 years is a welcome one and with ‘Mirage’, they might just have given us their biggest house track in their decade spanning career. The track is built around a stuttering synth loop and a seductive female vocal chanting ‘What made you wanna…” The real star here is the bassline, which propels the track into a seriously infectious groove. Add some lush strings and moody changeovers and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dancefloor weapon. Mirage has been a staple in Dam Swindle’s sets for the past months and has been one of their set highlights ever since.

“Coffee” is one for the classic Fouk fans. It’s got lovely Rhodes, a joyous combination of whoo’s, snare-rolls and synth hits grooving on top of an infectious orchestral background loop. “Tapioca” is a hybrid latin-electronic groove that builds on punchy synths, live percussion and drunk keys to balance the energy of the track. 

Elisa Bee’s remix of ‘Mirage’ is an intense percussive workout that builds on a breakbeat loop and a rave-bassline. The tempo is turned up a notch or 2 and that stutter synth and vocal of the original make this remix a wild warehouse affair.

Closing track of the EP is ‘Abalone’; A lovely bleep-house affair that still has a bit of that warehouse vibe. It’s got the perfect amount of distortion the drums while keeping things dreamy with some face-melting pads throughout the track. 

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Borrowed Time

ALAYA — ALBUM INTRODUCTION
From the very first pulse, Alaya opens a sacred space.

This is not a playlist. It’s a living vibrational field designed to resonate with the deep memory of the body, the soul, and the unseen. 72 tracks that are not merely heard — they are crossed. Each one is an autonomous frequency, a sonic cell with its own will, part of a living web of vibration.

Alaya pulses in E minor, oscillating between Tech House and IDM, blending high-end synthesis with hypnotic rhythms and ritual sensitivity. Complex arpeggios, saturated basslines, robotic voices, and underwater textures form a spiral auditory architecture with no fixed center. This is future music woven from ancestral memory.

Produced by Enano Bendito Records, in collaboration with Domoschile, the album is meant to be explored, not consumed. Felt through the bones more than through the ears.

Each listen is an alignment.

Each frequency, a key.

Alaya will not be sorted by popularity, but by collective resonance. In the coming days, the order of deepest vibration will emerge — chosen by the listeners themselves.

Listen slowly. Listen with presence. Alaya is alive.🇪🇸 ALAYA — PRESENTACIÓN DEL ÁLBUM
Desde el primer pulso, Alaya abre un espacio sagrado.

Este no es un álbum. Es un campo vibracional diseñado para resonar en lo profundo del cuerpo, del alma, de la memoria. Son 72 pistas que no se escuchan: se atraviesan. Cada una es una vibración autónoma, una célula sonora con voluntad propia, parte de una red viviente de frecuencias.

-------

Alaya vibra en Mi menor y se mueve entre los territorios del Tech House y el IDM, fusionando síntesis de alta gama con ritmos hipnóticos y sensibilidad ritual. Arpegios complejos, bajos densos, voces sintéticas y texturas subacuáticas conforman una arquitectura auditiva en espiral, sin centro fijo. Es música de futuro, tejida con memorias antiguas.

Producido por Enano Bendito Records, en colaboración con Domoschile, este álbum fue creado para ser explorado, no consumido. Para ser sentido con los huesos, más que con los oídos.

Cada escucha es una alineación.

Cada frecuencia, una llave.

Alaya no se organiza por popularidad, sino por resonancia. Y en los próximos días, el propio colectivo elegirá —de manera orgánica— el orden de vibración más profundo. Vos también sos parte de esa afinación.

Escuchá lento. Escuchá con intención. Alaya está vivo.

Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle as a means to gain full control over their own releases, and to create a stage for likeminded musicians to showcase their music. From the first release on, Dam Swindle’s “Break up to make up” EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, nearly 40 releases and 5 compilations in, Heist has brought forward artists like Frits Wentink, Nebraska, Adesse Versions, Fouk, Kassian, Nachtbraker and Alma Negra and continues to search for new talent, with Lars & Maarten fully focused on the A&R side of the label. 

Up till 2016, remixes on the label have been solely done by other original Heist artists on the yearly “Round up EP”, where the remixer and remixee get connected by the luck of the draw and a limited edition double pack is put out. After that, Maarten and Lars decided it was time to add remixers to the EP’s as well, which saw interesting collaboration, expanded the label family with names like Matthew Herbert, Tom Noble, Pépé Bradock, Ge-ology and Byron the Aquarius. 

In 2023 we've celebrated 10 years of Heist Recordings. The year showed a whole batch of releases by new artists like Byron the Aquarius, Amy Dabbs and Cinthie and by Dam Swindle themselves.
