O'RHEUN Mix - Owain 124

Gradient Guestmix by Dennis Free @dennisfree

Dennis Free is an Oakland-born DJ & producer now based in New York City, making a significant mark in the music industry. In 2021, he co-founded the Level III Collective, a Brooklyn-based platform aimed at highlighting DJs from across the world. Alongside this, he leads global DJ mix partnerships at Apple Music, helping to push DJ mixes to the forefront of streaming. And on top of all that, he manages Black Hibiscus, a rising indie-soul artist.

As an artist, he has recently found his groove between 120-140 bpm, playing a mix of classic house, high percussion dance, and ghetto tech. His sets are characterized by deep, pulsating basslines and crisp, driving beats that keep the energy high and the dance floor moving. Dennis weaves in hypnotic vocal samples and syncopated rhythms, creating a sonic journey that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the vibe accordingly makes each performance unique, with an infectious energy that resonates long after the music stops.

His work behind the scenes (and on the decks) shows his relentless drive to shape the dance music landscape—and we can’t wait to see what he does next.

High Hopes w/ Cynthia 090225

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.
