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.

I Need To Know - (2:49) 87 BPM
When We Last Met - (4:27) 86 BPM
Review: A regular to the imprint Heist Records, Crackazat comes back to Dam Swindles' label with a mesmerizing mini album "Senses". From the soulful downtempo beats of the exceptional opener "I Need To Know", to the infectious and sun-soaked house brilliance of "Do You Think About Me" with its uplifting piano melodies, each track offers a unique and delightful experience. Next is "'Freddie's Groove", a sublime blend of deep house and subtle jazz influences while "Phantom", a collaboration with Potash Twins, fusions broken beat, jazz, house, and soul that will leave you spellbound. To wrap up this auditory adventure, Crackazat delves even deeper with "Endless Life" and "When We Last Met".

The Round Up Pt. 9

Dam Swindle - "Good Woman" (Byron The Aquarius Late Night dub) - (4:35) 83 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.

The Round Up Part 8

Marina Trench - "Wake Up" (feat Sabrina Bellaouel - Makez remix) - (4:28) 84 BPM
Review: By now, we should all know what to expect from Heist Recordings' annual Round-Up EPs, namely label regulars and selected guests remixing each other. JKriv and Peter Matson do a terrific job in turning Fouk's 'Money' into a squelchy, TB-303-fired slab of nu-disco/retro-futurist house fusion, before Makez re-imagines Mariana Trench's 'Wake Up' as a jazz-funk flavoured broken beat number and Fouk re-frames a Lore of the Samurai track as a gorgeous slab of house-not-house sunshine. Elsewhere, Mariana Trench gives Felipe Gordon's 'Highly Corrosive Acid' a driving, riff-heavy deep house spin, Felipe Gordon opts for a drowsy and eccentric mid-tempo house sound on his version of JKriv and Peter Matson's 'New Friend', and Lore of the Samurai's rework of Makez's 'City of All' is a hypnotic, tech-tinged treat.
