Dam Swindle present ‘House of House’, a V/A compilation marking the one-hundredth release milestone on their evergreen Heist Recordings imprint, landing on 8th May 2026.
Across nineteen all-new tracks, ‘House of House’ reads like a roll call of modern house royalty. The compilation features contributions from scene legends and contemporary torchbearers alike, including Kerri Chandler, Two Soul Fusion (AKA Louie Vega & Josh Milan), Folamour, Cinthie, DJ Sneak, and Supershy, the dance music alias of Tom Misch, alongside rising talents like Papa Nugs, Lolu Menayed, and many more.
From the old-school magic of tracks like Dam Swindle’s ‘Back To The Old School’ feat. DJ Minx and Kolter’s ‘Need U, Want U’, to the jazzy, soulful depths of Kerri Chandler’s ‘Kerriousity’ and Superhy’s ‘Pyrenees’, to the peak-time energy of Papa Nugs & Mixolydian’s ‘Let Go’ and Elisa Elisa’s ‘Coco Coco’, the compilation captures the full spectrum of house sounds that Heist has championed over the past thirteen years.
Launched in 2013, Heist Recordings has become a high benchmark for quality house music – a home for legendary artists like Cinthie and DJ Sneak, and a breeding ground for new talent from Kassian to Makèz.
Maarten Smeets and Lars Dales, AKA Dam Swindle, have cemented their place among the upper echelons of modern house, with three critically acclaimed LPs, collaborations with the likes of Kerri Chandler and Tom Misch, and a relentless tour diary.
‘House of House’ reflects the ethos that has defined Heist since day one: a home for house heads who bring genuine soul to club music, whether they’re legendary originators or new-school up-and-comers. Heist’s one-hundredth release is more than just a number – it’s a testament to the community, creativity, and legacy built under the curatorial vision of Dam Swindle.

It was in 2011 that Dutch pair Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets quickly broke through in the electronic music scene. Since then, they have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep house to garage, breaks to classic house, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling. It was their early, high-impact tunes such as ‘The Wrap Around’ and ‘The Break Up’, that got dancers all over the world in a frenzy. Landmark releases like ‘Minor Fools’, ‘Allright (Just A Tribute)’, and their 2018 album ‘High Life’ all furthered their take on house music with a real sense of timelessness and class.
Since 2013, the pair have also established their record label Heist Recordings as one of the key independent labels for underground dance music while also releasing music on other mainstays in electronic music such as Aus Music and Classic Music Company. Heist is more than just a label though; it is a breeding ground for talents old and new, and a family more than anything else. Artists such as Cinthie, DJ Sneak, Crackazat, Tesfa Williams, Makèz, Pépé Bradock, Matthew Herbert, Ge-Ology and Byron the Aquarius have all contributed to the label, proving that Heist is a place where unrestrained creatives have the freedom to express their own sonic visions. The label looks as good as it sounds too, thanks to long-time collaborating visual agency Somehow’s standout designs.
