Dam Swindle

About

Since bursting onto the scene in 2011, Dutch duo Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets—better known as Dam Swindle—have carved out a reputation for a sound that refuses to be boxed in. Their widescreen approach to production and DJ sets draws from deep house, disco, and beyond, always with one simple mission: make people move. Whether it’s a moody after-hours cut or a hands-in-the-air groove, their tracks feel both timeless and urgent. Recently, the pair dropped *Backyard Galaxy*, a release that continues their streak of club-ready yet thoughtful music. While details on specific gigs and genres remain sparse, one thing’s clear: Dam Swindle live up to their own mantra. No fuss, just rhythm.

Dam Swindle is a DJ in New York City. They have performed at Night Tales, Renate, Hï Ibiza.
