POPULARITY
One night, 2 belated Birthdays, a decommissioned train tunnel, incredible production and a giant disco ball honestly made for one of the best parties I've been to in a long time. You may think me bias because I was Djing most of it but ask anyone who attended and they will tell you the same thing. Everything aligned perfectly for immaculate vibes the entire night. I was fortunate enough to be invited to contribute 4 hours of music for the night with my long term, very good friend @gilsun and the outcome was magical. Truly a new core memory. Unfortunately we were only able to salvage the last 1h45m of the set recording but it captures the high of the night perfectly. A huge thank you to Sandra and Pat for putting this incredible event on, it won't be forgotten any time soon!
We've had a few months off but we're back! Some sweet long weekend bass infused business from the Sydney's cross-genre legend, @Gilsun. You may know him as Oscar Mike, a part of @iron-gate-sound, or our very fav Gil, this mix brings us through a plethora of fresh material from the man himself and his many collaborations. Hold tight for a bass filled mix including a heap of forthcoming Iron Gate EP material (opening tune a huge one collab'd with Kid Fiction and the UKs Juiceman himself.) A real party starter for the rest of your long weekend vibes'.

The AMAZING https://soundcloud.com/katiaavorodis is our featured artist this week. A hugely powerful DJ on the forefront of cutting edge club music, Katia is riding on the crest of a female-led electro revival in the techno scene and is making waves not only here but internationally. Channelling influences such as DJ Stingray she weaves an immense selection of tunes mixed with surgical precision for your listening pleasure. Originally from Moscow, Russia, Katia now resides here in Sydney. She constantly experiments and looks for unexpected collisions of different sounds. So when you see this name on a flyer, be sure to get yourself on the floor, close your eyes and be taken to another dimension by this queen of the dance! The warm up mix is taken care of this time around by our beautiful boy Alice D, on a different flex to his usual vibe he absolutely knocks it out of the park with a mix of deep, esoteric techno and some harder acid/electro flavours toward the end. Including tunes from Surgeon, Kohhobba, Alex Coulton, Hodge, Skee Mask, Raxxon. Swerve stalwart Gilsun closes out the podcast, certainly channelling his https://soundcloud.com/oscarmikesound moniker for this one, ever the consummate DJ's DJ, and despite battling through a cold, it's well worth sticking around to the very end on this one people! Get in and around episode 008 fam! This one is DANCE ENERGY PLUS++++
Ooo~eee! This one's all about the original Swerve vibe. Five DJ's B2B alongside a half cut hype man absolutely going in over a BBQ and a few frothies on a public holiday afternoon. A range of mixing styles and selections from DJ's Tom Penny, Cosmo Jones, Alice D, Gilsun & Beans culminates, somehow, into a cohesive journey of a mix that manages to showcase the spectrum of dance floor oriented music that represents the Swerve vibe. Throw it on for your commute, your cardio sesh, your chores, your house party or however you enjoy a podcast and get to moving! Episode 007: A License to Swerve, From Beaners, with Love xoxox
Volume 3 and we've gone full UK bass vibes!!! We've been blessed with a featured guest mix from local purveyor of massive bass weight, Alchemist. Her musical journey is rooted in a South London upbringing, exposed to a veritable feast of influences stemming from her Mauritian and French heritage combined with the gritty sounds birthed from the streets and clubs of London itself. Since relocating and making a home in Sydney she has continued a creative path as a singer, performer and producer. Most recently honing her skills behind the decks, tearing up parties from the likes of Dungeon, VOID, Riot, RPK as well as Regrowth, Dragon Dreaming festivals, proving herself ready and willing to bring a sound system to life with big bass weight and frantic, precise mixing in any situation you might land a sub on. This guest mix coincides with her debut release "Pleasure State" via bandcamp (link below) and also with the upcoming event VOID @ Tokyo Sing Song (Newtown) Friday 6th April. Playing alongside Alchemist at VOID is our very own Swerve bass stalwart, BEANS! The man himself opens and closes this podcast with his own brand of energetic and technical mixing style always with selections that leave dance floors in a heaving sweat. Not to mention Gilsun holding it down with Beans serving up a little b2b action and getting in on the banter. As always, you can enjoy the pod in a dressing gown with a warmed snifter of brandy or even in the headphones while working on ur backhand at the local tenno court, in fact you can enjoy it however you like AND be sure to subscribe here or via iTunes to have that freshness served up on the regular.
