Heist Recordings was founded by Detroit Swindle as a means to gain full control over their own releases, and to create a stage for likeminded musicians to showcase their music. From the first release on, Detroit Swindles Break up to make up EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, 20 releases and 3 compilations in, Heist has brought forward artists like Max Graef, Frits Wentink, Nebraska, Adesse Versions, Fouk, Brame & Hamo, Nachtbraker and Andy Hart and continues to search for new talent, with Lars & Maarten fully focused on the A&R side of the label. 2017 will show a whole batch of new artists like the amazing afro oriented Swiss group Alma Negra, Italian producer Parker Madicine on a Detroit trip, as well as new releases from label residents like Nachtbraker, Fouk and Detroit Swindle themselves.
