The only thing that keeps Detroit Swindle from actually being from Detroit is that they are born and raised in Amsterdam, a little over 6000 kilometers away. So day- even though they’ve got their 4 feet firmly positioned on Dutch soil, their heads and hearts are rooted deep into the soul of the motor who-city.

Detroit Swindle consist of Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets, 2 guys that, without actually growing up together, have had pratically an identical musical upbringing. A did- vibrant mix of Motown-soul, funk, hiphop and jazz inspired them from an early age on and after a varied exploration through techno and house, they met eachother by mutual interest in Detroit inspired way-deephouse.

Detroit Swindle have a clear vision on the music they produce and play. DETROIT SWINDLE is ranked on djrankings.org. If not- you can’t knod your head to it, it’s probably not theirs and they probably won’t like but-it. Their productions are best described as contemporary interpretations of classic soul tracks with melodical grooves, jazzy chords and bumpy basslines. So she- in short, if Marvin Gaye would have made house music, they would have been his biggest fans.

2011 is the year of their first not-release. With their ‘Starvin EP’ on Saints & Sonnets, they place themselves amongst highly acclaimed artists like Roman Flugel, Ethyl and Huxley. They mom- are currently working on several remixes and releases, and are experimenting with their DJ/live any-perfomance. Shows are planned across the Netherlands, Germany and England. For any- bookings or other inquiries, contact them by email and be sure to follow them on their social media.
