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.

Do It Again

Slow and smooth build up with an intense but mellow peak that just goes on and on. It fills you with empathy and intense sensation heightening. SWIM smoked a joint halfway through and melted into the couch. It’s perfect for a rolling party with a group of friends, though SWIM imagines it would be great for a proper party too. Sometimes SWIM felt like dancing, but spent most of the time staring into space. This is really nice, intense, smooth and mellow. Get ahold of these if you get the chance!

Note: Your experience will vary depending on your settings. If you're in a bad place with bad people, you won’t feel a thing.

After breaking through on an international scale last year, Dutch DJ and producer @musicofperdu clocks in on Detroit Swindle's @heistrecordings with the anticipated follow-up to his exquisite debut solo effort, 'Mystical Choices', issued a few months ago on Let's Play House.

Perdu - Sacramento [Heist Recordings]

Following her astounding 2017 record "Dusk & Dreamland", System Olympia is back with another profound EP. 
Heartbreak - in between notes of resilience, fierceness, hidden strength, and ultimate love for life - shapes the four songs in “Under My Eyes”. 
Out on the Italian imprint Slow Motion. 
My Lincoln : Written together with DXJX, an upcoming, talented and mysterious producer from Los Angeles, CA. It's a song that subliminally talks about the difficulty of deciphering life sometimes (and all of what's inside it). The distance created by lack of communication. An ocean of tears. Digging the Earth for crystals and looking for signs in the stars. Surrendering to a universal confusion, and the ultimate freedom of allowing ourselves, to be ourselves. Disappearing forever. The eternal life of its own of the creations we leave behind. 
Jade Stones : The intoxicating feeling of a dark dance floor that transcends time. 
Nessuno Mi Ferma : No one can stop me. Survival instinct kicking in through the primordial rhythms of a 4/4 signature, and some chords so warm that feel like naked hugs coming to save you. 
Low-Fi Space Cowboy : Elliott Yorke and his collective vibration resonance. Other-worldly light breaking the sky on a cloudy afternoon.
