The English duo Swayzak are not easy to classify, as they vacillate between
minimalist techno and deep house adorned with dub. The duo attracted attention
with several highly accomplished albums released at the turn of the twentieth
century. Snowboarding in Argentina (1998), Himawari (2000) and Dirty Dancing
(2002) surprise as much as they delight. Swayzak's initially luminous
inspiration dried up, however, and subsequent albums lost their sparkle. Some
Other Country in 2007 was Swayzak's last album as a duo. Now on his own, David
Brown released S_W_Z_K in June 2012.
