Beautiful Swimmers blends soul music into a mix of influences from around the globe. For years they have been serving up the very best from their stockpiles of vinyl, but have more recently been focusing more on making their own music. Home to Maryland, the two piece gets down with the DC crowd on the reg, having mixed tunes on the U Street Music Hall dance floor multiple times since the club's opening in 2010. On 4/20 you can catch Beautiful Swimmers at U Hall again, opening for Blisspop and Red Fridays presents Tiger & Woods [...]
I recently received a mix from the One Handed Music ( OHM ) label and the Beautiful Swimmers out of Washington, D.C. that educated me about a legendary jazz artist who influenced the downtempo music that I love today. This mix - the first in the forthcoming OHM Dedication Series - was curated by Beautiful Swimmers (musician based in D.C.) to showcase the influence of Don Cherry - an African-American jazz musician who helped pioneer and showcase avant-garde jazz around the world from the 1950-70s, playing with legends such as John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Listen to the [...]
Banana Wine is the second EP from Mo Kolours , including a contribution from Beautiful Swimmers . Essentially a house extension, the remix beautifully elongates the soulful super-dub sounds of Mini Culcha, the third of seven originals from the Mauritius-born artist's mini-album.

The Bixel Boys just released their Fall / Winter Lookbook , which is their innovative way of presenting a mixtape, and I think it is the most impressive product I've seen from the duo to date. This lookbook is a well-curated collection that invites viewers to experience their take on the fall and winter seasons through photography, music, and-obviously-smoking-hot mostly naked women. Featuring songs from Beni, Cassian, Flight Facilities, Tyson, and more, the lookbook is an aesthetically pleasing selection of house and nu-disco paired with the aforementioned babes. Bixel Boys have also included a downloadable sampler containing select tracks from the entire collection. [...]
The latest mix in the Oki-ni series comes by way of Simian Mobile Disco. It's quite a nice mellow mix for the most part. It has a 702s and 802s sci-fi feel to throughout the whole theme and well, that's pretty much how they described it. 'This mix is about space, the sea, the smell [...]
Harpa Concert and Conference Centre by Henning Larsen Architects, Batteridd Architects, and Olafur Elliasson [Let's Play House] Since late 2009, as New York's best (and only) free-floating, bi-weekly house and disco carousal, Let's Play House has played happy host to international and indigenous talents at a range of venues throughout the NYC metro area. When wordsmith Nik Mercer and beatsmith Jacques Renault began LPH, their intention might just have been [...]
Vol. 2 of Permanent Vacation's long awaited and much hyped If This Is House I Want My Money Back compilation drops really soon if it hasn't already. We're looking forward to this release so here, for lack of a better word, is a taste - only one of these tracks is actually on the album, but the others are newish/from artists with Perms , so kind of relevant? If you're one of the 3 people on Earth still buying CD's, you can grab this release from the label's online store [...]
Seamos claros. A día de hoy no hay nadie o casi nadie que sea capaz de diferenciar que es House, o hasta donde llega el Deep, donde se mezcla con el minimal, el Techno y el Disco y ya menos hablar de lo que es Electro-House. Esto que parece tan discutible a simple vista, y que [...]
