Live Review: Swick 'R6 Wheel (Dub)'

We're very quickly becoming huge fans of the work NLV Records is doing in instigating alternative avenues of dance and showing that creating out of this world dance music is definitely the best way to do it.

Nina Las Vegas has enlisted a couple of friends to release on her new label, and the results so far have been astounding.

We've heard from Lewis Cancut with his heavily-industrial 'Systems', Air Max '97's oblique 'Passages', Nina Las Vegas teaming up with Snappy Jit for her debut solo track 'Contagious', and now we've got the fourth taste of the label's sampler.

Long time friend and frequent collaborator, Swick, is up this time. There seems to be a really industrious pattern emerging with all of these sounds, but it's one that is definitely giving the label an image and sound of its own.

'R6 Wheel' is percussion heavy, with particular emphasis on the staccato beat of that machine-esque synth. It's something that Swick's done well in the past, and if anything, this new one is a reiteration of the huge work he's done, but with that extra bit of flavour packed in there.

Swick's new one just goes to show that thinking outside of the box goes a hell of a long way, it's only how you execute it that really matters.
