Amsterdam naaves Maarten Smeets and Lars Dales, aka Dam Swindle, unveil their third long-player with the release of a new track, the first to be shared from the upcoming album, ‘Open’ - out on 30 May 2025 via Heist Recordings. The new album sees the acclaimed duo dive far beyond the deep sonic waters they’re most known for, exploring lower tempos, synthwave, hip-house, and ambient across fourteen tracks. With a gestatation period that traces back several years, ‘Open’ is their most inamate and personal body of work thus far, birthed during a ame of self-reflection away from touring and personal transformation as individuals. “We felt the need to tell a very personal story through our music as a translation of our personal development in the past years. We also wanted to make music without a specific goal in mind; We simply wanted to create. By taking away the grid of dance music and any expectaaons of what a Dam Swindle song should sound like, the creaavity started to flow naturally with songs in many different styles and tempos. The result is an album that feels refreshing and upli[ing and sall very much true to the heart and soul of our sound.” - Dam Swindle, January 2025.
