After an insane party until the wee hours at Wrongbar back in January, the hottest duo in deep house returns to Toronto alongside a sizzling hot line-up of local talent @ Coda…
Detroit Swindle are Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets, 2 guys that, without actually growing up together, have had practically an identical musical upbringing. A vibrant mix of soul, funk, hip hop and jazz inspired them from an early age on and you can hear they put their swindling soul in every inch of their records. Carefully selected and well placed samples, bumpy baselines and swinging hi-hats make that crossing-genre-sound that's been the building block of their huge success.
Their debut in 2012 brought them releases on Huxley's imprint Saints & Sonnets, Dirt Crew, Murmur and the immaculate Freerange Records. They've had support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Deetron, DJ Sneak, Justin Martin, Jimpster, Eats Everything, The Revenge, Till Von Sein and many more. Detroit Swindle’s releases have received solid reviews all over (DJ mag 9+, RA 4/5) and a place in RA's top charted DJ's show only the tip of the attention iceberg they've been getting as of late. To top it off, DJ Mag elected Detroit Swindle as talent to watch and the boys even got the mayor of Amsterdam so excited that he played their track 'Brotherman' at the launch of the new 24 hour permit for Amsterdam's prized night club, Trouw.
Lars & Maarten have had quite a run the last few years. From making music for the hell of it, to making tens of thousands of fans all over the world happy with their releases, mixes and performances. It’s almost like they appeared out of thin air… With their recent string of releases on some of the most respected labels in the industry, they've sucker punched the house scene and waved around their 12” scepter to rule them all! Praised for their productions with that signature shuffle and those carefully designed drops, they put as much energy into their music as they do into their highly entertaining and often comedic DJ performances.
It seems that having fun is as much of a drive for the guys as anything, but having fun is not the only thing you will see from them in the coming time. The recent release of their new album “Boxed Out” has some great cross-genre collaborations and has been extremely well received:
“Boxed Out shows a love for instrumental hip hop and smoldering electronic soul which, combined with a clutch of trademark 4/4 bangers, marks them out as modern-day Masters At Work” - Stephen Worthy, MIXMAG
In 2014 they will continue to tour on pretty much every continent and focus on releasing more hot wax on their own imprint “Heist Recordings”. In general, you’ll get to listen to a whole lot of great new music as they swindle their way into a club near you…
If you dig straight up, four on the floor, proper underground house music, join us on August 8th at Coda as the hottest duo in deep house returns to Toronto to throw down alongside a sizzling hot line-up of local talent!
