"It was Audio Obscura who invited the Dutch duo to play at the National Maritime Museum of the Netherlands - the largest museum in the world dedicated to things nautical. Renown for their epic parties in unique locations such as Amsterdam's Central Station, for this one the Audio Obscura team set up the decks on the deck of a large three-masted ship facing the main museum building, which dates back to 1658, and invited Detroit Swindle to perform a spectacular sunset set. Effortlessly navigating an eclectic course through house, deep, disco, afrobeat and soulful techno, the duo takes us on a voyage worthy of the dancing waves themselves. These are no novice sailors! Since their 2011 debut album and the founding of their label, Heist Recordings in 2013, Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets have had the wind in their sails. From their original productions - clubbers all over the world still remember 'The Break Up' - to their unstoppable remixes, like that of 'Yamona', a song by Pat Thomas, nicknamed ""the golden voice of Africa"", they have distinguished themselves as compelling artists at the top of their game. Confessed inveterate record collectors, Detroit Swindle slickly glide between styles and eras, places and sounds and invite us to embark on a two-hour flowing set in an exceptional setting. Cast off! **Etienne Geremia**".
