My people,
Into the singularity we go... Putting a finger on the black dot is like touching a needle.

This requires your full attention, though no effort to experience.
Its only an extension of our impulses and senses.

The body is too preoccupied, if not acidic. It takes an alkaline mind to comprehend its multi dimensions which are beyond genres, styles, cultures, types and fashions.

Like a secret language that is always in conversation, showing how things relate. As soon as a mind could think, an eye could blink, a mouth could speak, a heart could beat, whenever we breath, its all in sync and then repeats.

The predictability of each moment and involuntary movement can be calculated and measured by counting the spirit of rhythm and seeing the shapes and colors of tone. From the lowest brown bass to the highest yellow treble. Fast to slow.

Seeing with your ears and listening with your eyes. I'm trying to put a finger on something that is very elusive, so we must grasp the abstract and know just how interactive the psycho spiritual consciousness of rhythm and tone is.

Everything is involved, and when pin-pointing its singularity it is solved.
Say for instance, we could see how rhythm is beyond time. If you watch any pre-recorded media, pay attention to someones eyes blinking and other involuntary movements.

How does this relate to you? Just seeing the "window to the soul" shows how we are all one behind the scenes. Now tapping into the neurological map, we will get a response back, either rhythmic or tonal.

How could something pre-recorded interact with the moment of now? Even if your thought is quicker than the picture, the spirit is the watcher and listener and will consider it. Its just that playful and sensitive.

Another example is if we think of a melody internally, something externally will respond. Though, just how significant is this psychic phenomena? Its with us wherever we are. From the barking dog, to the passing car. The buzzing humming bird to the slowly growing fungus. Whether we pay attention to it or not. I have bare witness to this consciousness pervading all life forms, from the frequency of cycles per second to cycles of seasons. So, it seems, when the wind blows, Its voice speaks in syllables, delivering spiritual info.

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.
