Clutter is Jean Jacques’s debut EP and in his own words “his first attempt to translate emotions and experiences into tracks”. While each of the four tracks has its own character and atmosphere, the end result is a very coherent body of work that can be broken down into two moods with a driving and unforgiving A side that is subtly balanced by a moody and dreamy B side.

What started as a failed attempt at giving his own twist to the Basic Channel sound turned out to be a driving, dark, melancholic and unforgiving techno track with a dash of trance. "Dubhypno" is a perfect introduction to Jean-Jacques’ sound.

The most driving track of the EP, “Ode To The Floor” is a no compromise and old school inspired dance track. It is all about energy and impact, the sound of the amps begging you to turn it down knowing fully well you won’t.

The breaky “Thalys” is heavily inspired by a lot of the (sometimes unintentional) noisy stuff Jean-Jacques started listening to earlier on. Aliasing, zero crossing clicks, clipping and noise introduced by lossy formats is something the first generation of portable media formats brought us, and what he grew up with. “Thalys” is Jean-Jacques embracing the sound of the 64kbs digital revolution.

“Clutter” bridges the club and home listening environment to make a nod to electro with generative sound design, ethereal overlapping melodies and some killer breaks.

Through his scintillating Steppin' Motion parties and label, Swoop tirelessly provides opportunities for Parisian party goers to experience the freshest minimal sounds week-in week-out. With appearances in London’s Fabric and Madrid’s Goya Social Club becoming a norm, Swoop’s infectious sets are getting the international praise they deserve.
His ability to switch from one style to another in the smoothest way really defines his musical course: indeed, Swoop first love in electronic music was bass music and Jungle, before turning towards more minimalisctic and housey music styles.

French born, Amsterdam-based DJ, crate digger and record collector.

The music took him on an adventure. 
Started his record collection, staying hours at the local record stores and getting shaked by the vibrations encountered in clubs, as well that by the souls fusions.

This very personal alias of Damien is focusing on diverse electronic dance music genres in the quest of turning emotions into movements.

Let's share those moments, it's all about love! Thank you for your support and time.
