Introducing Swick. He’s another one of these obscenely young & talented Australian DJ/Producer types. Already signed to Ajax’s “Sweat It Out” label for his super fun track “Grow Up”. Swick sounds like a fun youth, messing with lego, playing battle toads on your NES and just kicking it in blissful ignorance. You should definitely keep an eye or an ear out for Swick in the future!
Last month, Malente’s label No Brainer Records served you Swick’s “Jogalani EP” including three tropical miniatures stuffed with a vast amount of fresh ideas, created by the young fella from Melbourne.
The question arises: Is Swick the forgotten son of Crocodile Dundee? “Jogalani” clearly sounds as if he’s practicing Dundee’s knife routines with some bamboo sticks. “Quandong” though rather reminds me of meditaion scenes in old Steven Seagal movies where as “Broccoli” sounds as if it was the music to the so called ‘dance of joy’ some demons traditionally do in the TV series Angel, that spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I know. I watch to much TV, you’re right, but I listen to No Brainer Records too. I’m not done yet though, cause these Swick tracks are accompanied by some universe expanding reinterpretations by Douster (Mad Decent), Vhyce (Sweat It Out!), Them Jeans (Dim Mak), Malente & Chaos In The CBD (Youngunz).
Hit me with your rhythm Swick!
