The Debut Album by Detroit Swindle. It has everything you would expect from the Swindles, some slow burners with a hint of disco, some deep house, some banging club monsters and hey, even some leftfield hip hop jams.

The album opens with "B.Y.O.", a track that balances nicely between the DS shuffle and an old school New York style block party. The track is a taste of things to come for the rest of the album, hinting towards a big party vibe, but mellow enough to make it a really interesting listen.

The one thing Detroit Swindle are known for best is their knack for picking the right vocals. For Boxed Out, they came up with some perfect partnerships. They recorded "64 Ways" with none other than one of America's finest soul singers: Mayer Hawthorne. Being a fan of their sound he proposed to do a track together in return for a remix on one of his album originals to be released in 2014. "64 Ways" has a lazy shuffle, a bunch of catchy rhodes chords and few well placed layers of synths that give this track a hint of "Detroit Experiment", wrapped up in an almost poppy house jam.

One of the other vocal tracks is "Thoughts of She", that effortlessly samples the voice of UK soul singer Alice Russel from the track "Pushin' on" by "The Quantic Soul Orchestra". There's also the gorgeous track "Center of Gravity" that has Berlin based, Ghanese-Canadian soul singer Sandra Amarie on vocals. It's particularly this track that reflects the true spirit of Detroit Swindle's music, a mixture of soul and UK garage meets Detroit house slowed down to a sexy groove with some of their trademark pads and stabs.

They pushed themselves to explore different tempos as well, which not only resulted on some slow house burners, but also in 2 hip hop tracks. "For the Love of..." is a homage to the old school sounds of "J. Dilla", "A tribe called Quest" and "The Pharcyde", combining off-beat shuffles, a gritty bass line and a warm cut-up soul sample. "You, Me, Here, Now" is almost a love song, disguised in a s(w)ing-a-long down tempo type of track. It's one of those "one more tune" kinda tunes.

So there's hip hop, there's soulful vocals, but It just wouldn't be a Detroit Swindle album without a few bangers on it. "Huh, What!", "Shotgun", "The Fat Rat" and "He's Just This Guy, You Know?" are all relentless dance floor monsters, pushing the tempo to match old school Chicago and New York house cuts from the late 80's and early 90's.

With these tracks "Boxed Out" has a great combination of gritty percussions, hot vocals and catchy chords and it is exactly this recipe that has become the much-loved trademark of Detroit Swindle's house universe. The album has a little bit of everything in exactly the right dose, making it both a good listen, and an extremely infectious club album.

Sandboards drop their 'Nights Over Taieri' EP this week on Rinse. We've got the premiere of the title track below.

The Kiwi duo have been building huge momentum with releases on Feel My Bicep and Cold Tonic as well as working with Krystal Klear.

On their latest track, 'Nights Over Taieri', Sandboards deliver a massive piano driven cut of euphoric Italo house.

Speaking about it, the duo told DJ Mag, “Over the past couple of years we’ve kept a few tracks back to play exclusively at our shows, and they’ve always had an amazing reaction, so it’s really great to be able to release these with Rinse all together.”

Listen to the DJ Mag premiere of Sandboards’ 'Nights Over Taieri' above.

I Like It Raw

Sat upon the end of the boulevard there was an empty building, an art deco affair with a delicate poise and a sense of grandeur which had been lost to the age of time. It had once been a beautiful dancehall, bustling with life and the luxurious, balearic elegance of a sun kissed assortment of the rich and famous. A unique disco, every Friday night it was celebrated and frequented by the finest in the land.... Now it sat there, empty and lonely upon the Italian coast, watching as the waves crashed in and outwards against the shore. This was to be no more. 

Alexander Robotnick is a producer who needs no introduction, a fierce talent and a pioneer of the italo disco movement across a generation. His music has travelled far and wide and has been a staple of dancefloors for decades. Soon he will retire the moniker but for now it see's a revival on Hell Yeah Recordings alongside a remix from our own Bawrut

PREMIERE: Alexander Robotnick - Undicidisco (Bawrut 1-2-3-4 Remix)[Hell Yeah Recordings]
