Swick is Melbourne’s own well shaken can of bubbly fizzy drink. With an arsenal of releases on labels worldwide. He has quickly gained a reputation for tight drums, energetic synths and genre bending tracks.
In 2013 he released a collaborative EP with Diplo titled ‘Keep It Gully’ on Mad Decent, with the b-side ‘Dat A Freak’ becoming the basis for Jennifer Lopez’s single ‘Booty’ which features Iggy Azalea and Pitbull. A certified platinum record in the USA. His extensive work with Tkay Maidza was featured across five cuts on her mixtape at the tail end of 2014, as well as producing the opening track “Always Been” on her debut album.
Swick has now found his home on NLV Records releasing his EP Stamina and mixtape Court Composer. Since 2018 he has produced music for/with Big Zuu, Ms. Nina, MC Bin Laden, Kamakaze, Capo Lee, Eyez, Manga Saint Hilare, Kota Banks, Lilla Namo, Geoblu, Big Skeez, Gold Fang, King Doudou and more.
2022 saw two productions on M.I.A’s latest album MATA, ‘F.I.A.S.O.M. pt.2’ & Puththi’.
Both his DJ sets and tracks pull from a wide range of different musical styles. Swick has no care for genre but respect for all at the same time. Diplo states ‘Swick’s vibe is always a bit more broken liquid and that’s how he keeps that 4×4 uptempo fresh and bangin’. While Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs says ‘I get a buzz from Swick’s music, it feels a million miles away from the too often conservative current house and techno sound in Europe at the moment’.
In 2023 Swick received his very own playlist on Apple Music’s ‘The Producers’ series, featuring standout tracks and collaborations from over a decade of releases.
