Dam Swindle - The Swindle Sound

Since 2011, Dam Swindle have been joining the dots between genres to produce club-ready grooves that are both original and timeless. Respectfully drawing on a storied history of house culture that equally encompasses disco, techno and soul, Dutch duo Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets have organically established a sound that’s distinctly Dam Swindle, enjoying international success through their singles, multiple albums and revered label, Heist Recordings.

Curating a new pack for Beatport Sounds, Dam Swindle are now opening their production vault to producers worldwide for the first time. Entitled ‘The Swindle Sound’, this fresh collection sees the pair follow on from industry legends such as Kevin Saunderson, DJ Krust and Demuir in collecting some of their most inspired studio material, with a special focus on sounds fundamental and essential to house production.

Gloriously deep basslines, creative percussion and emotive keys are some of the elements that reflect the broad palette of sounds championed by Dam Swindle. Recorded in studio-quality, dancefloor friendly 44,1Khz that mirror the warmth of their productions, the 284 MB of loops and hits collected in the pack span both electronic and acoustic sources. The result is rhythmic possibilities, while chord progressions from classic hardware such as the electric piano lean into melody.
