The Dam Swindle curated compilation Heist Classics Vol. 02 delivers even more of the label's biggest hits in a beautiful limited-edition package. A limited-edition collection with hits from Crackazat, Andy Hart, Kassian, Makèz, and Nachtbraker. The release kicks off with "Alfa": Crackazat's biggest hit to date (and that's saying something, coming from a producer that has delivered jam upon jam in his career). It's a signature Crackazat song with an off-kilter live key loop, shuffling percussion and pumping low end. Andy Hart's "Epsilon Girls" was originally released in 2014 and has helped cement the artist and label's position in the house music landscape. A vintage Barbara St. Clair loop gives the track a lovely human touch, which is countered by layers upon layers of glimmering electronics. "Different Planets" is the track that really kickstarted the career of the talented duo Makèz. Released in 2019, the track has everything we've come to love from their recognizable sound: lively drums, catchy hooks and warm and jazzy chords. UK duo Kassian is represented on this package with their track "8th Movement". Their sound has progressed towards techno in recent years which has given them support from artists across the board such as Ben UFO, Special Request, and many more. Their Heist classic "8th Movement" -- still housey in its core -- already has hints of their newfound style in its sound design and rolling energy. We end the record with what might be Nachtbraker's biggest track of his career: "Hamdi". It's a proper anthem, with African drums, an ecstatic vocal sample and a killer groove.
