Somewhere Far Beyond is my take on the Egyptian folk Bellydance style known as Baladi. Mixing traditional influences with big beats and chunky subs! :)

Bluebird has been a mainstay of the SSR Live set for a couple of years now but never got a release! Here it is in all it's snowy glory!

Random fact: Bluebird was written in a bunk bed in the beautiful village of Tignes Les Brévières while I was snowboarding with friends. The picture was taken the next day at the top of a glacier - one of the most stunning places I've ever been!

This track was my entry to the Penguin Books remix competition all the way back in 2005! I rediscovered it while digging through an old hard drive and thought it was worth sharing. This was one of my first experiments in making whatever sounded good, without worrying about style or genre and you can definitely hear the beginnings of the Sword Swinging Robot sound! I still love the mix MS-20 bass line and faux 303 :)

Dream Life

Inspired by and written for my friends in the Tribal Belly Dance community!

It was amazing to be able to remix the title track from Orbital's huge album from 2012. Another remix competition entry, working on this track and seeing the response it got on the forum inspired me to put my music out there for the world to see.

Here's my brand new remix of Slight of Hand by the excellent Bargheust. 

This was a really challenging track to work on, trying to retain the diverse elements of the original while trying to take it in a completely new direction. The remix eventually ended up somewhere between Dark Fusion and Acid House.

This was a lot of fun to work on and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Please do check out Bargheust's page @ http://soundcloud.com/Bargheust for more Fusion action

This track began life as a live jam using the Elektron Analog 4, Digitone and Analog RYTM with the trusty Roland TB-3 on acid duty as always :)

Before the Robot there was . . . Atomic Playboy!

Moriarty is heavily inspired by artists like Nick Sentience, BK and Nuw Idol - combining driving bass with a big hands in the air lead and pads!

This track was written back in 2010 when I was DJing at nights like Happy Faces & Planet Livingroom and streaming sets on a Sunday night with the amazing North Wales Rave Never Dies crew!

Reach for the laser!! \o/

This is my first proper go at Dubstep which was a real challenge and lot of fun.

I'm very pleased to say that this track will be featured on the upcoming Odditorium - vol 1 compilation - due for release this summer.

This track is based around the idea of a music box dancer (one of those that spins in a nice pose while the music plays), fighting to escape to the dark side!

Darkest Wish

From Rave and Trance in the 90s, through to current DnB, breaks and Electro, Sword Swinging Robot is born of a deep love of electronic dance music. Based in beautiful North Wales, Sword Swinging Robot's sound brings a distinctive mix of electronic beats and analogue synths alongside darkly emotive strings and piano.

When not in the studio, Sword Swinging Robot can often be found performing alongside live musicians and Egyptian / Tribal Fusion dancers.
