Swayzak (live) @ La Terrrazza by This Side UP (Barcelona, 15-07-2017)

Live streaming recorded at La Terrrazza presents This Side UP w/ Swayzak, Diego Montiel, Martin Noise and Wase1   / thissideupbarcelona     / laterrrazza   SWAYZAK David Brown and James Taylor began making music in 1993 and in those post-iron curtain times took much inspiration from the dark and cold eastern block. The Swayzak name came later as much inspired by eastern Europe as it was Hollywood .. this is indicative of the juxtaposition of Swayzak. As things moved forward via strange twists they found themselves in 1998 releasing a debut album “Snowboarding in Argentina“ to much critical acclaim. An album with one misguided aim to fund a snowboarding holiday! one that hasn’t quite been achieved, though Argentina has been gigged several times! However it did put them on the road to bigger things, playing everywhere from Chile to Japan and quite a few places in between. Major festivals (Glastonbury, Coachella, Bennicasim and Fusion), Clubs (Fabric, Panorama Bar, Watergate, Rex, etc), bars, museums, fashion shows, a Spanish cathedral, a Paris square and even a week long party in a Montreal loft. Swayzak keep filling dancefloors the world over. One of the first artists to be released on Richie Hawtin‘s Minus label with their Theorem collaborations. The duo have released four studio albums on !K7, the legendary compilations of Groovetechnology and Fabric 11 all crossing the paths between minimalism, deep house, electro and pure pop. Swayzak have released and remixed for : ! K7, Minus, Pokerflat, Playhouse, Klang, Simple, Logistic, Force Trax, Mille Plateaux and even Sony .Their songs have featured on several commercials, tv shows, and hundreds of compilations. The live shows are exactly that, never rehearsed, never pre-recorded and 100% improvised taking a journey unlike any DJ set. In these days of audio perfection Swayzak enjoy to be different, not quite playing the game. Whilst embracing technology using unsynced laptops and outboard effects to create a custom made dancefloor sound that touches on elements house, techno and many other genres whilst still sounding undeniably Swayzak. 2009 saw the re-release of “Snowboarding in Argentina”, Swayzak’s oh so innocent debut album inspired by the Berlin / Detroit / Chicago / New York music of the early 90’s .Originally released in 1998, this album originated in two forms, one for the US market and one for the UK. However it was in Germany that Swayzak found themselves week after week, somehow stumbling upon a scene that was soon to be embraced by the world.In July 2011 James Taylor announced he was to leave the group, moving on to work on wine related projects and focus on his work as an Ableton Live trainer. The move was entirely amicable and seen as a natural progression by both with Brown moving forward at the helm of the Swayzak productions and Live shows. In 2012 the first release from Brown saw a new one-off side project emerge under the rawer, more stripped-back moniker of S_W_Z_K. The debut LP, released to critical acclaim on Tresor, picked up high praise from fans, to name but a few, such as Marcel Dettmann, Francois K, Luke Slater, Paul Woolford, Norman Nodge, Hemlock, Laurent Garnier, Troy Pierce, Groove, Partysan, Beatport, Raveline, De:Bug, DJ Mag...More recently saw the return of Swayzak as David’s first solo material under the name surfaced on the likes of 3rd Wave and CONSTRUCT picking up support fromMidland, Craig Richards, Dubfire, Tensnake, Solomun, Mano Le Tough, Laurent Garnier, Mark E, Konrad Black, Tensnake, Jozif, Heidi, My Favourite Robot, Danny Howells, Mixmag, BBC Radio 1, Resident Advisor, Vice Magazine... as well as remixes for various labels such as Resopal, Save You and Cobra Voyage. A new label services deal with !K7 was announced last year that will see the relaunch of the Two Hundred & Forty Volts label. A full re-release of the entire Swayzak catalogue alongside sub-labels Swayzak Recordings, Voltmusik, Snooploops and Disco Dub Plates, the majority of which has never been available digitally. A retrospective of Swayzak works alongside unreleased and new material will launch the project in the Spring of 2017, alongside new material on Curle, 3rd Wave, Rawax and more... In these times of micro-genres and rapid rise DJ stars, Swayzak sticks to his guns, happy in his outsider status and not content to hop on to any passing bandwagon. With forthcoming releases and remixes, continued touring and tracks being used in Hollywood movies, hit TV shows like Ugly Betty and South Korean kitchen commercials (?!) the Swayzak sound has crossed the globe and yet still remains deeply underground.   / s_w_z_k
