Quotes from DJs about Swankie DJ
Trance Generators - What we can say about Mr.Swankie ... well a great guy and friendly, a really talented guy who is really improving his skills as producers and in the near future he will be for sure one of the most talented up & comnig DJs in the UK hardstyle scene ... well done mate !!!
Nino Pipito - I think that the productions Swankie reflect the true hardstyle, because his tracks have kick and bass that travelling. Did not involve leaving the fashion jump.
He is able to keep his style: hard, travel, speed and good rhythm!!!
His way of mix very creative and technically can be done much fun all people.
Good luck Swankie my friend!!!
Swankie started to develop a desire for music when he was 11 years of age. His elder cousin used to play Drum & Bass tape packs all the time aswell as attending big events such as Helter Skelter. He would always borrow tapes off his cousin until realising where he was able to get them from. After listening to the finest DJ's in all genres of music including
Mark EG, M-Zone, DJ Sy, Hixxy,Dougal, Brisk, Force & Styles, Scott Brown, Slipmatt and Vibes,
Swankie started to develop a strong passion for electronic music aswell as the urge to play it. In 1997 a friend of
Swankie's had a set of belt drive decks for Christmas. He invited
Swankie over there on boxing day for a spin on them and since then he has never turned back.
Swankie was always playing his decks as often as possible as he was unable to buy a pair himself due to the fact that he was in school, had no income to get a set of decks let alone have a vinyl habit.
After a few months I started to understand my beats and developed interests in trance, hard-trance and hard-style. I would watch other DJís and concentrate on the tricks they performed to captivate their audiences and master them at home aswell as his own. After 3 Intense years of non-stop deck bashing
Swankie was offered a set at a venue in Cardiff. Since then he has never turned back on providing the scene with what he enjoys most, Hard Dance music. In the last year
Swankie has played at some of the biggest events in the UK including
BIONIC & BREATHE in South Wales, where he plays on a regular basis.
Swankie has plays for numerous events in the UK, alongside some major names in the DJ world including
Daniele Mondello, Trance Generators, Tommy Pulse, Activator, Kutski, DJ Sy, Yoji Biomehanika, Blutonium Boy, Neo, M-Zone, Mark EG JK Walker, Captain Tinrib and Cally & Juice to name a few.
