I was listening to my favourite radio show this morning, Space is the Place on PBS FM and Lewis Cancut played a track, OS War III from Swick and Douster. To put it bluntly it was pretty damn good. Good enough to track down their website and download their music free. So we’ll put their video clip here, perhaps even a track from their soundcloud. But YOU HAVE TO GO TO THEIR WEBSITE. You can download their whole project for free, but the website is an overdose on the 80’s nostalgia wrongness. Forget hyperlinks you have to type stuff in. It’s worth it for that experience alone. It doesn’t hurt either that the music is killer
Swick is a Melbourne producer who has releases on a myriad of overseas labels, including a collaborative EP with Diplo titled ‘Keep it Gully’ on Mad Decent in 2013, with the b-side ‘Dat A Freak’ becoming the basis for Jennifer Lopez’s latest single ‘Booty’ which features Iggy Azalea & Pitbull.
Douster meanwhile is a French producer who’s sounds remain firmly planted within a tropical bass vein, with releases on Mad Decent, Sound Pellegrino, and widely acclaimed remixes for the likes of Crookers, Rusko, Yolanda be cool, Kid Sister, and of course Swick.
This from Douster:
“I was in Australia in February and i hang out a few days with SWICK in his garage,we were eating lots of yellow food, like chips and fried chicken, and somewhere in the middle of the night we were pretty high i guess, sampling crappy novation tech house synth sound when the mini jack found his way through swck’s laptop output .
I started sampling the sounds that came out of his internet and we made songs with those samples.”
