DJ Mag bring Detroit Swindle and Recloose to Egg London

DJ Mag will be handed the keys to London’s Egg on Saturday 24th of September, and they’ve decided to bring in Dutch house heads Detroit Swindle as the attention-grabbing headline booking. Backed by a set from Recloose as well as more as of yet unnamed guests, the show will offer up a huge helping of upbeat house from the depths of some very well-stocked music collections.

As heads of the strongly characterised Heist imprint, Detroit Swindle have been responsible for a big selection of likeminded musical offerings, with bright, punchy rhythms, warm synths and unmistakable funk sensibilities. Supporting the likes of Fouk, Ouer,  Max Graef, Brame & Hamo, M.ono etc., the label has helped Detroit Swindle rise as a priority booking for parties across the globe, with their loosely strung sounds giving their tracks a relaxed vibe despite their firm dancefloor focus.



Whilst the Dutch duo might only draw association with Detroit by means of their name, Recloose himself is a native of the Motor City, and will bring with him a record bag full of the jazz-flavours that mark much of the city’s musical output. A lover of brass-infused, groove-blessed house, Recloose will line up with the Heist lads with grandeur. Just like his good friend Carl Craig, whose Planet E Communications label has released many of Recloose’s top tracks, the Detroiter will undoubtedly draw a significant crowd as he takes to London once again.

With Wolf Music and more names still to come, DJ Mag looks to be onto a winner.
