Dam Swindle
Unfinished Business EP
About this item
Eleven years after its original release, Freerange present a limited repress of Dam Swindle’s "Unfinished Business EP".
Title track "Unfinished Business" sets the tone with a driving, shuffling, tech tinged beauty loaded with their trademark cut-up, MAW style vox samples.
"Under The Spell" drops next with a more low slung groove, Rhodes stabs and breakdowns that are tried and tested for maximum dancefloor pleasure.
The B1 sees Crue step up for his hard-hitting remix which brings a darker, raw edge to the EP with a bad boy basement feel and garage swing bringing some peaktime intensity.
Finally they close the EP with "Woman", a track that’s probably about as close as the DS boys get to a smooching torch song. Lush pads and strings bring a deeper vibe to proceedings but the female spoken word samples keep the energy high and ensure things never stray too far from the floor.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: A high watermark of Dam Swindle's catalogue gets a much needed repress on Freerange. Perfectly displaying the duo's refined and dynamic take on late 90s house.
