EDDIE C - BEST FRIEND 015

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 own studio. House might be the root of the @damswindle sound, but it takes nourishment from a much wider world of music.

It was their early, high impact tunes such as 'The Wrap Around' and 'The Break Up', that got dancers all over the world in a frenzy. Since then, the pair has constantly evolved and matured and continued to draw on all musical niches. Building bridges between them, their landmark 2018 album High Life or their ‘Coffee in the Morning EP' both furthered their take on house music with a real sense of timelessness and class.

Since 2013, the pair has also established their own Heist Recordings as a well respected label that is home to the majority of their own originals, though other underground mainstays such as Aus Music and Classic Music Company have also come calling. 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 Nebraska, Adryiano, Kassian, Demuir, Makez, Max Graef, Pépé Bradock, Nachtbraker, 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, Eric Clapton and John Mayer collaborator and Blue Note artist 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 and skillfully through different times, places and sounds. Rather than limiting themselves to a certain feeling or mood, Detroit Swindle can call on classic house, obscure disco, African funk, soulful techno and plenty in between, all with the aim of making 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.

All good things must come to an end as the saying goes, so as we reach the magic number 100, this will be the final episode of the Lazy Days Podcast (as we know it). I’ve enjoyed doing this show immensely since 2008. It’s been a great platform to share music I love and will survive like a snapshot in time through the various phases and cycles that music go through and hopefully remain relevant.

It wasn’t always easy to find the time to do this show. I remember when I started, having to burn cds from my initial selection, then picking up my 2 CDJs (100 and 200) from a box in the corner of my studio, all this time keeping true to mixing my show live rather than using any software such as Ableton.

In the process of doing this show, I also met my designer for Lazy Days — Robert Vidaure, back then known as Nerdski. I found him online because he posted my podcast on his blog with his own art and I loved it. He then went on to design almost all the Podcast artwork and a good part of the Lazy Days catalog from that moment. So big thanks to Robert! Your art and work ethics are appreciated beyond words!

Along the way, the show was picked up by Pioneer DJ who was syndicated it through Ibiza Sonica and a few other one off syndications on various show around the world. But the longest lasting collaboration is of course with Music Is My Sanctuary. I want to extend a special thanks to my friend Alexis (DJ Lexis) for his hard work, I will continue to collaborate with MIMS on various project like Tribute Mixes.

Thanks to all the listeners for listening to my humble “monthly” mixtape. To all the people who took time to tell me how much they loved the show every month, you were the fuel that kept me going. But don’t worry, I’ll be back. I’m currently re-evaluating the concept and format to come back with another show at some point next year.

Much Love

Fred

LAZY DAYS — Show #100 (Hosted by Fred Everything)

Here's the recording of my set from the Mixmag Lab in New York on March 30. 

It was an amazing experience to play in the new Brooklyn Mixmag Office during their weekly Lab session. As it was my first time jamming during a live video stream, it was an interesting challenge to pick only a dozen of records to play to the online audience. There were so many tracks I wanted to share, I decided to do my selection from music from some friends & labels I love but I also included a few of my upcoming songs & collabs. 

I'd like to say a big thank you to Rocky & the Mixmag NY team for putting together such a cool & creative production, they were running around all night long to capture all the possible angles (all this while dancing and smiling). And of course, thank you to all the friends & music lovers who keep supporting what we do as artists, it means everything!

New month new mix.
Ryan Bishop is behind one of the most creative and consistent multi-modal musical platforms out there. Dream Chimney (which hardly needs introducing), was certainly a big inspiration for 5918mins. and we are very happy to have him onboard. 

DJing himself under the name "The Beat Broker", Ryan developed a propensity towards Balearic sounds, which seemed to fit perfectly with the current time of the year. We are also very impressed by Ryan's consistency in digging and playing high-quality newer releases (which only makes sense if one one is interested in the musical, rather than the collectable worth of records).

Wow! 
What a week it was! It was my 3rd burn this year and it was such a good feeling to play for the amazing @thegardensofbabylon crowd at HOME! 
When I started playing the sun was almost finished setting and a beautiful full moon was rising. The weather and the colors of the sky were so perfect! I hope my recorded set from that evening gives you similar feelings we all felt there!

Enjoy!

I’m happy to present you what happened to be a true adventure & a musical highlight for me this year, Journey to Tarab 2019.

The story takes place in two chapters, recorded on the Drachen Nest Saturday night in Zsambek, Hungary.

CHAPTER I

It’s 7:45pm and I’m in the DJ booth of the Drachen Nest, my equipment is connected and I’m ready to play. In the center of the dancefloor, a beautiful tandem are performing live with a super cozy setup & I discover the talented duo Ameli Paul. The stage manager gives me a sign that it’s their last song, and I have my intro tracks and samples selected - I’m ready to go and ecstatic to play. 

As my first track is playing, it only takes a few minutes before the wind blows dark and dense clouds hover above our heads. The rain starts pouring; showers. I look down for only a few seconds to mix in the next song but by the next time I look up, everyone has vanished.

A small group of people with the most vibrant energy came to seek shelter in the booth and it truly cheers me up. I’m so excited to be there and I know that such heavy rain won’t last long, staying optimistic that people will come back.

As the rain calms down, people come back, one by one. Umbrellas, raincoats, mud & smiles. The crowd continues to grow and I get to meet my dance floor one person at a time. The rain has stopped. The Drachen is blowing smoke while the sun disappears & I feel the dance floor is finally in symbiosis. I evolve tempo by a few BPM & as my most energetic track of the set drops…

B L A C K O U T. No sound, no light, it is total darkness on the dance floor, a complete power outage.

For the first of their Livestream series the Hot Situations crew requested a special Chill Out sunset set... "but not too chilled out... maybe spicy it up here and there, give it some groove..." Ha! 

This is what came out. 

We also collected funds to help first healthcare responders of the Covid-19 crisis in NYC. 

Hope you like it and that it is the right amount of "chill out". (Very soon I hope to mix a truly, truly, truly "chill out" set, but until then, enjoy this one at home, and stay there!) <3

Hello angel,

Before we dive into the music, we would like to take a moment to thank you. To show our appreciation for your support, your gratitude, your amazing messages, your music contributions and all there is about you.

We hope you are holding up.. Let us enjoy the little things and return to the new world as a better version than we were before.

We were very very excited to upload this set. Milo's taste in music is undeniably one of our favourites and also this performance for our Global Isolation Party was one of our top ones. Find him on the roof terrace of our home in Basel, Viertel. Everything about this performance made us miss our family in Switzerland.

With all the love we have to give, 

The Gardens of Babylon
