Exciting times for LDW. Not only has he hit upon a rich vein of creative inspiration and loving every second of being in the studio making music with his partner Fewture, this man from Amsterdam also seems to be inadvertently, or maybe purposefully, shaping a fresh direction for the Amsterdam deep house scene.

Taking up influences from Chicago via Detroit and San Fransisco and with a broad knowledge of deep house, jazz, funk, soul and disco that goes way beyond his years, he managed to get close links and residencies at the Deep House Amsterdam movement as well as at the famous online magazine Overdose.am. His beats got support from names like Pete Tong, Shadow Child, Alle Farben, Waze & Odyssey, Nachtbraker, Jamie Trench and many others and brought him and Fewture bookings all over Europe. Among others, his sets were heard at P!TCH Festival Amsterdam, Boothstock Festival Rotterdam, sinnmusik*’s warehouse parties in Barcelona, the infamous LOK parties at Bourbon Dogs in Berlin and the Block Parties in Amsterdam’s Chicago Social club as well as all the major clubs in Amsterdam and Antwerp. Spring 2013 and 2016 even led him to China and Thailand where he did shows in all the leading underground venues in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dali and Kunming.

When Luc performs, he confidently takes you on to an uncontrollable dancing state of mind, led by energetic jacking deep house beats in-fluxed with jazz and funk bits and with a love for vocal stabs throughout the whole set.

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.
