50 Snippets of Peace

Cardiovascular tugging, euro-dance energy from Berlin based DJ HEARTSTRING on 1Ø PILLS MATE; for the lovers, the listeners and the trancers. Uniting the worlds of donk, euro-dance, trance and techno, the emerging producer is less concerned with opinions of the chin-stroking purists and more concerned with fun - crafting sensual and infectious pop-techno bangers that have fun firmly on  the menu.

‘Lost In Emotion’ begins with a deep, heads down approach, lending influence from the pop melodies of artists such as Marlon Hoffstadt and his Midnight Themes label but with a headsy, underground appeal. ‘In Der Nacht’ follows in similar passion - inspiring images of that club scene from Blade - a vampirish, dark and distinctly Berlin twist on the typical trance aesthetic.

‘Bubby Paradise’ trades the darkness for bubblegum, arcade soundscapes that could score a pixelated, arcade racer before we are transatlantically beamed to the carnival of Brazil’s capital; ‘São Paulo Fever’ giving Latin-American rhythms the signature Heartstring blend. 

Also available as a digital only track is ‘Coming Back 2 U’; a deep, hardcore trip through strobe lit dark rooms.

PREMIERE: DJ HEARTSTRING - BUBBLY PARADISE [1Ø PILLS MATE]

Amsterdam natives Maarten Smeets and Lars Dales, aka Dam Swindle, unveil their third long-player with the release of a new track, the first to be shared from the upcoming album, ‘Open’ - out on 30 May 2025 via Heist Recordings.

The new album sees the acclaimed duo dive far beyond the deep sonic waters they’re most known for, exploring lower tempos, synthwave, hip-house, and ambient across fourteen tracks. With a gestation period that traces back several years, ‘Open’ is their most intimate and personal body of work thus far, birthed during a time of self-reflection away from touring and personal transformation as individuals.

“We felt the need to tell a very personal story through our music as a translation of our personal development in the past years. We also wanted to make music without a specific goal in mind; We simply wanted to create. By taking away the grid of dance music and any expectations of what a Dam Swindle song should sound like, the creativity started to flow naturally with songs in many different styles and tempos. The result is an album that feels refreshing and uplifting and still very much true to the heart and soul of our sound.” - Dam Swindle, January 2025.

While the trademark Dam Swindle four-to-the-floor beats are still ever-present on tracks like ‘The Present Is Always Perfect’, ‘I Need You’, and ‘Is This Love?’, it’s the gentle waves of synths on opener ‘Home’, the contemplative piano chords of ‘Bloom’ featuring Joep Beving, and the lo-fi ambience of ‘It’s Okay, I Can Wait’ that showcase a melancholic, ethereal sensibility previously uncharted by the duo. Collaborations with vocalists such as NYC’s Haile Supreme on ‘Not Enough’ and Neo-soul singer Faye Meana on ‘Girl’ expertly find room in between the dancefloor and home listening sessions, and a clear standout on the LP is the title cut where message-heavy rapped vocals from UK artist Samson ebb and flow amongst iridescent grooves.

Under the helm of Maarten and Lars’ adept A&R, their Heist imprint has become a beloved home for house heads of both schools old and new, platforming some of dance music’s biggest names from Cinthie to DJ Sneak as well as the musical dawnings of artists such as Kassian and Makèz. The Dam Swindle alias has achieved house music royalty-like status across a storied 15-year career that includes two critically lauded full-lengths, collaborations with the likes of Tom Misch and Kerri Chandler, and a globetrotting touring schedule. This album stands as their most profoundly personal work of art to date, and they can’t wait to share it with you.

Scruscru recently launched a new label called Tunes Delivery and it's back with another banger here in the former of LTF's Fine Tuning album. It comes hot on the heels of some sublime Soviet jazz-funk sample madness on previous works and it's again, it's a proper masterclass in production. These are deep-cut funk sounds with cooling organ chords, hints of Money Mark vibes and psyched-out synths, wah-wah guitars and plenty of rawness to keep things authentic and timeless. The jazzy flutes of 'Bokeh' make it one of our favourites here but there isn't a single bad jam, truth be told.

When I started working on this mix for SCR I decided to do in an old school mixtape style.  So you won’t find any fast cuts and mixes, instead I’m letting the beats breathe and put the focus on short tasteful blends.  I’ve compiled tracks by some of my favorite artists such as Dilla, Primo, Doom, Grap Luva, Mitsu, Dimlite and Fat Jon.  They are interspersed with Kabuki beats which are either hard to find, unreleased or dubplate specials.  After I recorded the mix I hooked up the Moog and played some sound effects over the top. 
I hope you’ll have as much fun listening to this mix as I had recording it!
