The Munich based duo Coeo are the stars of our fourteenth release. Florian Vietz and Andreas Hopfl have presented us with three original tracks with nice and special character. Closer EP is definitely a landmark release for us at Lagaffe Tales which challenges us to follow up with this new standard in the following future. The title track Closer is the star of the release. What stands out if the great percussion work and hauntingly beautiful vocal sample, whispering into our ears. As if the original track was not enough, we were lucky to get one of our biggest influences; Lay-Far to remix the track. The remix takes the percussion work to the next level and still staying true to the original mix. Lay-Far does not disappoint and makes sure that we connect memories we hold dear to the track. Mind Games is a beautiful piece with a tight baseline and enchanting piano atmosphere.  The duo bring to the table another beautiful piano sampling piece in the third track Timid Dancer. The whole EP has encouraged us to work harder and to grow in the right direction as a label.

Coeo - Timid Dancer

Take Daniel Leseman’s signature swing and loose arrangements, add a touch of Junktion’s knack for jazzy chords and sampling, and you get Fouk. After a set of excellent solo releases on their own Outplay records and Slow Town, the duo now turn to Heist with a killer EP.

Folamour - Just A Lonely Night Eating Sushis (STW Premiere)

Black Loops’ work over the last couple of years evidences a passion for crafting emotional beats straight to the floor. Not one to be influenced by trends, these guys are a fruitful endeavour who flow very naturally on his own style.

This New EP is not an exception. Picking a hook and sticking to it, each of the EP's two cuts embody some great feeling aspect of their musical background. Expect some solid bass lines, blissed-out chords and seductive vocals, pinned together by their tight beats. This is Feel the B!

On the remix duties we have our homie Carlo who did a dope rework on Feel the B!

Never Dull - What Is Jazz

Leo Pol Chantal (victor H edit)

Black Loops teams up with Seven Davis Jr. and Nikoss for a killer EP of deep soulful house tracks. Often times, spontaneity in the studio can lead to moments of pure creative flow, and if these tracks are any indicator, that was certainly the case here.

Both tracks feel fully realized, all elements blending together beautifully into two emotional burners. Seven Davis Jr. delivers another classic vocal performance, his warm tone perfectly complementing Black Loops' signature groove and Nikoss' piano playing.

Functional for both the club and the headphones, both tracks will please even the most discerning DJ or audiophile. So, don't miss out on these when they drop, because this stuff is as real as it gets.

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.
