New Things (feat. YaniKa) (Eric Kupper Remix)

Amsterdam natives Maarten Smeets and Lars Dales, aka Dam Swindle, unveil their third long-player with the release of a new track, the first to be shared from the upcoming album, ‘Open’ - out on 30 May 2025 via Heist Recordings.

The new album sees the acclaimed duo dive far beyond the deep sonic waters they’re most known for, exploring lower tempos, synthwave, hip-house, and ambient across fourteen tracks. With a gestation period that traces back several years, ‘Open’ is their most intimate and personal body of work thus far, birthed during a time of self-reflection away from touring and personal transformation as individuals.

“We felt the need to tell a very personal story through our music as a translation of our personal development in the past years. We also wanted to make music without a specific goal in mind; We simply wanted to create. By taking away the grid of dance music and any expectations of what a Dam Swindle song should sound like, the creativity started to flow naturally with songs in many different styles and tempos. The result is an album that feels refreshing and uplifting and still very much true to the heart and soul of our sound.” - Dam Swindle, January 2025.

While the trademark Dam Swindle four-to-the-floor beats are still ever-present on tracks like ‘The Present Is Always Perfect’, ‘I Need You’, and ‘Is This Love?’, it’s the gentle waves of synths on opener ‘Home’, the contemplative piano chords of ‘Bloom’ featuring Joep Beving, and the lo-fi ambience of ‘It’s Okay, I Can Wait’ that showcase a melancholic, ethereal sensibility previously uncharted by the duo. Collaborations with vocalists such as NYC’s Haile Supreme on ‘Not Enough’ and Neo-soul singer Faye Meana on ‘Girl’ expertly find room in between the dancefloor and home listening sessions, and a clear standout on the LP is the title cut where message-heavy rapped vocals from UK artist Samson ebb and flow amongst iridescent grooves.

Under the helm of Maarten and Lars’ adept A&R, their Heist imprint has become a beloved home for house heads of both schools old and new, platforming some of dance music’s biggest names from Cinthie to DJ Sneak as well as the musical dawnings of artists such as Kassian and Makèz. The Dam Swindle alias has achieved house music royalty-like status across a storied 15-year career that includes two critically lauded full-lengths, collaborations with the likes of Tom Misch and Kerri Chandler, and a globetrotting touring schedule. This album stands as their most profoundly personal work of art to date, and they can’t wait to share it with you.

Sam Ruffillo is the Italian super talent in the Toy Tonics family. His ITALIAN DISCO sound is already a trade mark. Organic, funky, warm dance music with Italian vocals. HOUSE TIPO COSI is the new single and it's the first pre-release of his debut album that will be released on Toy Tonics in September. This song is already a hit on the Toy Tonics parties since months. People sing along without having it heard before. It's super catchy, it's easy, its clever and it works not just for Italians but for everybody, it's an anthem. And Sam Ruffillo is an super talent, a hit maker, almost a genius. (If you ever heard him djing, you saw how he can create euphoria like no other. People go crazy. Like when he plays his previous hits Perfetta Cosi or Danza Organica.

Released 26.05.25

When we heard this track, we knew instantly that it was right up our street! This track is tough and primed for peak dancefloor action, in a very sweaty basement club. This whole EP takes us back 10 years, when we were booking artists such as Brawther and Dam Swindle.

The third of our three EP vinyl and digital releases of WhoMadeWho’s Watergate 26 mix is here and it begins with Echonomist’s infectious and style bending ‘At The End Of The Day’. Mathias Schober seals the A side delivering a wild ride of warm percussion and intense strings while Stereocalypse flips the script commencing the B-side with the Dance Rock anthem ‘King Not Naked’. Clinching the release, Tim Engelhardt’s ‘Under Armour’ is an intoxicating excursion into late night dance floor theatrics making it the ideal cut to complete the EP.

On the digital side of the release, WhoMadeWho kick off deep with their remix of Magit Cacoon & Lonya’s ’Shma IL’ before Otto B’s epic ‘Willy’ dives into the deeper corners of Techno. Getting headier, Chaim & Jenia Tarsol’s ‘Track I Did’ exudes the perfect combination of groove and euphoria while dOP’s ‘Radiowaves’ powerful love song makes a perfect finale to the Watergate 26 EP #2 release.
