Swick - Court Composer (2018)

Sydney producer SWICK is one of those rare producers with a totally unique musical point of view. No one is drawing inspiration from global genres, blending them up and launching them into the future of club, hip hop and pop quite like he is, except maybe his label mates at NLV Records. His much anticipated mixtape Court Composer has just dropped, full to the brim with insane collaborators, wicked sound design and forward thinking production.

Across ten tracks he reshapes grime, dancehall, baile funk and EDM into slick club tracks, featuring drops primed for wheeling all the way back and beats to set dancefloors ablaze. Along with the crop of singles Swick has been dropping to prime us for this release is a handful of newbies, tracks that have been sprinkled across live sets showcasing even more of his creative diversity and specificity.

With so much detail and intricate theory woven through fun dance tunes on this mixtape, Swick has truely earned his title as Australia’s leading club (and court hehe) composer. With a mixtape this packed, he had a fair bit to say about how the tracks and collaborations came about and gave Purple Sneakers all the goss.
