Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle to gain full control over their own releases and to create a stage for likeminded musicians. From the first release on, Dam Swindleâs âBreak up to make upâ EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, going into its 10th year, Heist has brought forward artists like Crackazat, Byron the Aquarius, Marina Trench, Kassian, Fouk, Makèz, Kassian & Scan7.
Heist has been a home to many remixers and collaborators such as Blue Note artist Tom Misch, Nightmares on Wax, Ash Lauryn, Emma-Jean Thackray, DJ Bone, Matthew Herbert, Seven Davis Jr, PĂŠpĂŠ Bradock, Ge-ology, Kai AlcĂŠ, Session Victim, and Jitwam. An annual label highlight is the âRound upâ Up; a remix ep where all artists from that year remix each other.
Now coming into its 10-year anniversary, there is no sign of slowing down and Heist will continue its path to build bridges, support talent and showcase legends.
