Heist Recordings

Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle to gain full control over their own releases and to create a stage for likeminded musicians. From the first release on, Dam Swindle’s “Break up to make up” EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, going into its 10th year, Heist has brought forward artists like Crackazat, Byron the Aquarius, Marina Trench, Kassian, Fouk, Makez, Kassian & Scan7.
Heist has been a home to many remixers and collaborators such as Blue Note artist Tom Misch, Nightmares on Wax, Ash Lauryn, Emma-Jean Thackray, DJ Bone, Matthew Herbert, Seven Davis Jr, Pépé Bradock, Ge-ology, Kai Alcé, Session Victim, and Jitwam. An annual label highlight is the ‘Round up’; a remix ep where all artists from that year remix each other; A unique concept that is another clear sign of the family approach the duo have with the label.
Now coming into its 10-year anniversary, there is no sign of slowing down and with the music they’ve got ready for future releases, Heist will continue its path to build bridges, support talent and showcase legends.

Masterplan - (4:39) 145 BPM
Review: Cinthie Cristl knows a thing or two about classic sounding, peak-time-ready house music, as her releases for Aus and fantastic DJ Kicks mix proved. Predictably, her Heist Recordings debut is similarly on point and packed with nostalgic, retro-futurist house treats. The dreamy chords, jazzy synth-bass and rushing piano stabs of turn-of-the-90s Italo-house appear to have been the inspiration for opener 'Won't U Take Me', while the accurately titled 'Piano Heaven' is a warehouse ready, hands-in-the-air treat for all those who crave rushing, loved-up goodness. That track gets a chunkier, weightier and more energetic makeover by St David, while 'Masterplan' is a high-octane tribute to Dance Mania style ghetto-house with a timeless deep house twist.

Makez - "La Grande Folie" (Orlando Voorn remix) - (6:19) 143 BPM
Review: The release of the latest volume of 'The Round Up' - an EP in which Heist Recordings contributors remix each other - has become an annual institution. 2023's edition - the ninth in the series to date - is naturally an impressive, all-action affair. Label bosses Dam Swindle kick things off by turning Crackazat's inherently jazzy 'Demucha' into a glossy, funk-fuelled disco-house roller, before Byron The Aquarius adds a gently glassy-eyed, dreamy tinged to that duo's 'Good Woman'. Crazkazat joins the dots between string-laden disco-house and classy US style deep house on his take on Orlando Voorn's 'Be With You', while Voorn delivers a breathless, electro-goes-techno-funk tweak on Makez's 'La Grand Folie'. Elsewhere, Nebraska shuffles his way through an attractive, soul-flecked revision of Nebraska, and Makez delivers a fizzing, hands-aloft techno rework of Nebraska.

Returning - (4:03) 140 BPM
Review: Here's something of a rarity: a full-length excursion on Dam Swindle's usually EP-focused Heist Recordings imprint. It comes courtesy of talented twosome Makez, who last featured on the Dutch label two years ago. There's much to enjoy from start to finish, with the pair blending loose-limbed house rhythms, head-nodding hip-hop rhythms, and sumptuous downtempo grooves with subtle disco instrumentation, colourful electrofunk synth sounds, layered percussion, squelchy analogue bass, and occasional vocal snippets. The results are uniformly vibrant, atmospheric and musically rich, without ever becoming overly fussy or self-indulgent. There's plenty of floor-friendly material for DJs to savour and champion, but the album sounds just as good when listened to at home. Stellar stuff all told.
