About Detroit Swindle
The only thing that keeps Detroit Swindle from actually being from Detroit is that they are born and raised in Amsterdam, a little over 6000 kilometers away. So even though they've got their 4 feet firmly positioned on Dutch soil, their heads and hearts are rooted deep into the soul of the motor city.
Detroit Swindle consist of Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets, 2 guys that, without actually growing up together, have had pratically an identical musical upbringing. A vibrant mix of Motown-soul, funk, hiphop and jazz inspired them from an early age on and after a varied exploration through techno and house, they met eachother by mutual interest in Detroit inspired deephouse.
Detroit Swindle have a clear vision on the music they produce and play. If you can't knod your head to it, it's probably not theirs and they probably won't like it. Their productions are best described as contemporary interpretations of classic soul tracks with melodical grooves, jazzy chords and bumpy basslines. So in short, if Marvin Gaye would have made house music, they would have been his biggest fans.
2011 is the year of their first release. With their 'Starvin EP' on Saints & Sonnets, they place themselves amongst highly acclaimed artists like Roman Flugel, Ethyl and Huxley. They are currently working on several remixes and releases, and are experimenting with their DJ/live perfomance. Shows are planned across the Netherlands, Germany and England. For bookings or other inquiries, contact them by email and be sure to follow them on their social media.
