SWAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT Updated Friday 11, Oct 2006 Hailing from the Blue Mountains near Sydney, the S.W.A.T DJ's (Soul With A Twist) cut their teeth rocking house parties in the early and mid nineties to the sounds of Run DMC, Public Enemy, Dr Dre and Ice Cube. The Funk based sounds of the time chimed a chord with each of the-then school mates, leading to an ever increasing interest in all things Funky and soulful. They soon discovered the origins of the music they loved so much and a journey began that now sees whole rooms dedicated to storing their most precious possessions...... wax plates. Comprising of 4 core members; Easymac, Hands, BC and Professor Nasty (currently rocking the UK) and an extended family of musicians, producers and other DJ's, the SWAT team are all about the party and good times. Today, SWAT's favourite acts include anything on Ninja Tune, Catskills, Unique, Daptone, Tru Thoughts, Invada, Jalapeno, Fort Knox, Ubiquity, ?GAMM, Creative Vibes, Quannum and Funk Weapons, (to name a few!) as well as all the sounds of the original Block Parties from back in the day. Venues rocked recently include the Sandbar at Chinese Laundry, World Bar, Moretons, Marquee, Roxbury, Kelts and the Gearins in Katoomba, playing alongside some of the top names in the Business. The future for SWAT includes production work and remixes, a Label and above all, Funky good times! So get down and party with SWAT and see why they've got so glide in their stride and dip in their hip!! Meet the s.w.a.t crew
