Betonkust - 5th March 2025

Sebastian Swarm is a Glasgow-based DJ, musician, and visual artist. In 2014, he co-founded Lunacy, a record label and underground warehouse party that transformed an old sweetie factory into an infamous after-hours haven for adventurous dancers in Glasgow and beyond. His sound traverses from the offbeat oddities of his radio residencies on Clyde Built Radio and Marseille's Station Ola to the high-octane energy of Italo, Wave, and Electro. 

Swarm’s music has found homes on notable labels such as Land of Dance, Meta Moto, Aperitif De La Mort, and Huntleys & Palmers, alongside a remix for the post-psychedelic band Abrasive Trees. With more releases on the horizon for 2025, his presence in the electronic scene continues to grow. He’s performed at clubs & festivals across Europe, including Kelburn Psychedelic Forest Disco, Riverside Festival, Crack Bellmer, and OHM in Berlin. In 2024, Swarm launched Glass Tank, a unique platform spotlighting the vibrant cultural pulse of Glasgow, hosting a whirlpool of creative talent nestled among the brewery tanks.

Darrel Woollard, better known as Dawl (@dawl), has been tirelessly carving his path through the world of electronic music for decades. As the head of the Tone Dropout label, which he runs alongside Sween, Dawl skillfully digs into the golden era of techno, electro, bleep, and hardcore.
He bought his first records back in '88, and by the following year, he was already spinning them on his own turntables. Since then, he hasn’t stopped DJing, releasing, and remixing, with his signature appearing on labels such as Klasse Wrecks, Craigie Knowes, Furthur Electronix, Amen Brother, and many others.

Interesting Results hails not from Rotterdam but that other place below sea level: New Orleans. As a lifelong lover of electro (and discordant noises in general) this playlist was thoughtfully curated from some of her favorite songs lately. She spent her teenage years exchanging mix tapes and CDs with friends and has been DJing on and off for over two decades starting with her local college radio station KLSU-FM where she co-hosted an electronic and experimental music show called the Kitchen Sink for three years. Her transition from vinyl to digital occurred only more recently though she has no plans to part with her record collection! While she is a high school teacher by day and a selector at heart, it is her love of dancing that most influenced her shift to DJing in club environments and the dancefloor is often where you’ll find her. Even still, she’s constantly scouring everywhere and anywhere for new tracks with the same fervor that a research scientist devotes time to their own field of study. While the electronic music scene in New Orleans might be small, it is quite special and steadily growing; here’s to hoping this mix might catch the attention of some of her favorite acts and help to bring them here! Please enjoy her sleep paralysis demon mix.
