Dam Swindle’s new ‘Backyard Galaxy’ EP is an ode to house music and the classic Swindle sound. 

It’s only been a few months since Dam Swindle released their highly acclaimed album “Open” and already the boys are back on Heist with a new release that takes you right back to the dancefloor. Where they’ve spent the better part of the last 3 years writing their album with all its sonic explorations and collabs, this new EP sees the duo return to their roots of club-ready house music. The ‘Backyard Galaxy’ EP comes with 4 high-energy house tracks made in their Amsterdam studio that have been road-tested all summer.

EP opener “Feel it much?” has all the ingredients of a classic Swindle heater, with warm pads, rich organic percussion and tons of soul. There’s a simple and effective vocal running throughout the track that blends nicely with the classic house elements and electronic textures that are layered throughout the track. There’s an effortless flow to this track and it comes as no surprise that it has been a highlight in their sets this summer. 

The EP title track ‘Backyard Galaxy’ is an up-tempo Latin-themed jam with a hint of old school techno.  The synth stabs hit you just right and the modulated vocal chops are a lovely boost for the build ups and add a touch of swing to a track that already has a tight  groove. Add to that a huge breakdown and drum roll and you’ve got yourself a track that’ll light up any dancefloor.

On the flip, we’re moving into garage territory with the shuffling vibes of ‘Rhythm Baby’. The current popularity of the genre is not missed on Dam Swindle, but when you look closely, you’ll see this track is full of elements that the duo have built their legacy on. The vocal chops, transposed key samples and swing are all on point and work just as well below, as above 130 bpm if speed is your thing.

The EP closes with the NY-style house cut ‘What you give’, which reminds us of Dam Swindle’s remix of Cinthie’s Heist hit ‘Won’t U take me’ with its lush organs and moody keys. It’s perhaps the most classic house track they’ve made in a long time and you can hear they had a great time recording this. It’s playful, vibey and catchy. Just the way we like it.  

Dam Swindle might have delivered one of the standout cross-over albums of 2025, but on this EP the message is clear: Once a househead, always a househead.

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud! 

Much love,

Kamma & Masalo @ The Lot Radio 11-09-2025

An all vinyl program that focuses primarily on lesser known soul and funk music from the 1960s - 80s. The show also expands into genres such as jazz, disco, reggae, gospel, psych, folk and beyond. I try to play music that resonates with me in a profound way, in hopes that someone might also connect with it as well. Expect to hear music you have never heard before as well as classics that make you feel good. The show often includes a great mix of guests, often who are heavy collectors in the record community.
