Plenty of podcasts we release feature artists exposing their softer side; recording mixes aimed for home listening rather than representing their weekend output. This weeks mix by Berlin based Peak & Swift does not fall into this category. We've witnessed the duo blow the lid off parties many times before, and its fair to say that this recording follows suit. It is, or would be, a dancefloor destroyer. A combo of upfront rhythms and square synthlines make for an hour of great listening from the pair, who are residents and curators at one of Berlin's most reputable venues Salon Zur Wilden Renate. Fans of Louche out in Croatia for our annual Garden Fest trip this yeah, can catch the Renate gang hosting a secret island party only reachable by boat. Catch us on board, taps aff.

Louche Podcast 124  Peak & Swift

LAWRENCE F aka Lorenzo Font, originally from Barcelona, started mixing in 2010 not so long after he landed in Berlin inspired by the vibrant electronic music scene of the city.

Moving from Berlin to Amsterdam in 2012, LAWRENCE F found in the city of the canals the freedom and network to make his way into the clubbing scene. He has been seen at venues like VLLA or Duke of Tokyo, and has yearly appearances at Lustrum, Rembrantpark, and Sloterplaats Open Airs over the Dutch summer. 

His music repertoire spans Ambient House, Minimal House, Classic House, and Techno, as well as groove, funk, disco on special nights. No commercial shit fortunately. Check out his sets!

Peak's origins are unknown, though it has been said he may have been raised deep in the Brokeback Mountians of East-Saxonia, but this is all mere speculation. Maturing (or not) in the club/rave scene and quickly picking up the art of DJing at the tender age of fifteen, he has made a name for himself in this urban jungle we call Berlin. Swift was first spotted in the Berlin area around the year 2000 or so when he teamed up with his partner in crime, Peak. They quickly melted their musical interests of house, disco, deep and dubby techno into a powerhouse sound that's main mission was banish the cold, dark, "minimal" sounds of that era in Berlin and warm the city up to the current sound that has taken over now. The duo was seen ducking in and out of the shadows of Berlin's most infamous clubs, before they finally found they're home in the mysterious, Salon - Zur wilden Renate. Together they have helped Renate grow from a club in it's infancy to the world-renowned underground mecca it has become today, boasting incredible house, techno and disco lineups on a weekly basis, not to mention a series of open air events and many wild themed parties throughout the year.
