レーベルHeistの主宰でも知られるオランダの人気デュオDam SwindleがAus Musicの記念すべき200作品目に登場！

オランダのデュオDam Swindleが久々にAus Musicから登場。オリジナル2曲に、K-LoneとChloe Robinson & DJ ADHDによるリミックスを加えた注目のリリースだ。

Dam Swindleは10年以上にわたりアンダーグラウンドハウスシーンをリードし続けており、自身のHeistレーベルでも知られる。流行に左右されないタイムレスなサウンドが特徴で、ディスコからテクノまで幅広い音楽要素を取り入れた楽曲で、世界中のクラブでプレイされている。最近ではPhonicaの20周年記念トラック“Allright (Just A Tribute)”がフェスティバルシーズンで多くのDJから支持を集めた。

このEPは、Aus Musicの200作品目のリリースを記念するシリーズの一環として発表。Aus Musicは2006年の設立以来、深みと洗練を兼ね備えたクラブ向けサウンドを送り出してきた影響力のあるレーベルだ。Dam Swindleの「The Last Time」は感情的なヴォーカルとメロウなシンセが印象的なディープハウス。「Come Back」はグルーヴ感のあるシンセとガラージ風のビートが融合した鮮やかなハウストラックだ。

さらに、K-Loneによる「The Last Time」のリミックスは、ガラージハウスのビートに柔らかなコードが重なり、遠くで響くヴォーカルが郷愁を誘う仕上がり。一方、Chloe Robinson & DJ ADHDによる「Come Back」のリミックスは、低音が効いたミニマルなアレンジが特徴で、楽曲に新たな楽しさと効果を加えている。

ジャンルを超えて楽しめる一枚として、ぜひチェックしたい作品。

Dutch duo Dam Swindle appear on Aus Music's 200 series and two new house originals come with remixes from K-Lone and Chloe Robinson & DJ ADHD Dam Swindle have been helping to define the underground house sound for a decade, not least with their Heist label. The pair deal in timeless, fad-free sounds that are rich with dance floor dynamics and hint at a love of everything from disco to tech and plenty in between. They are notorious crate diggers who have played the world's most cultured clubs, their recent track Allright (Just A Tribute) on Phonica’s 20 year celebration has received widespread love by DJ’s this summer on the festival circuit and now they offer up two more of their studio gems for their 3rd full release on Aus. This EP is the second in a series of four releases from different artists to mark the 200th outing of Will Saul's influential Aus Music. It is an era-defining label that has platformed some of the scene's brightest stars way before they broke out. Since launching in 2006, the label has remained dedicated to releasing club-ready music with a cultured edge from deep and melodic house to the earliest bass- driven post-dubstep fusions. This EP kicks off with 'The Last Time', a blissed-out deep house sound with impassioned vocal cries tugging at the heartstrings. Mellifluous synth daubs percolate through the mix to a captivating, feel- good effect. Next is 'Come Back,' an infectious house bubbler with gloopy synths and something of a garage shuffle in the kicks. It's fresh and packed with neon colour that brims with soul. New school house and garage tastemaker and core Aus Music family member K-LONE steps up with a remix hot on the heels of his two-part EP series on the label. His version of 'The Last Time' is typically deft as soft focus chords swirl around prickly garage house beats. The distant vocal, the cavernous bass and the wistful feel all make it another classic. Last but not least, Chloe´ Robinson & DJ ADHD are frequent collaborators on labels like Fabric Originals as well as Chloe´’s Pretty Weird imprint where they serve up potent, bass-heavy sounds. Their version of 'Come Back' is expertly stripped back. It teases and pleases with a blend of filthy low- end oscillations, slinky drums and tooting chord hooks that are effortlessly fun and effective.
