The Swiss

Biografía
- Pert up the front and taut down the back, The Swiss are an Australian duo who created Bubble Bath, Tensnake reworked Manthem, Double or Nothing, Movement & their latest offering ElouisaPert up the front and taut down the back, The Swiss are what disco should be. Insistent drums, tractor beam bass and melodies that got here on a rainbow - all in sync with the biorhythms of ecstasy and heartbreak. It's not wedding music, it's not beardy edit dross, it's actual disco. Maybe sometimes it's lazer funk and at others it's house but really it's disco. It's two guys from Australia, connecting the dots between the studio and the after-party in real-time. Like a velvet fist in a chrome glove, The Swiss pack a sense of faded decadence into a face-shatteringly stunning image of what is to come. Forming in high school and deciding on a name with no relevance to anything, The Swiss initially set out as a trio before settling on their current line-up of Tony "Sweet 1/16ths" Mitolo and Luke Godson (also known as Luke Million, the man behind the inescapable, floor-filling earworm that is "Arnold"). Tony is a verified man-beast of a drummer whose work behind a kit is an immediate incitement to dance, carrying the unrelenting drive of a rhythm box but the lively inflection of a liquid human. Luke is the other side of the coin; a virtuosic melody ace in charge of synths, Rhodes and anything else striped in black and white that makes a noise from beyond the palace of the ultra-gods. In the shadowy background is the pseudo-enigmatic svengali and super-producer Donnie Sloan (Empire of the Sun, Sneaky Sound System), a man whose skillset in converting sound to pleasure is surpassed only by his knowledge of Australian aviation history. Along the way they put out their debut EP Movements. From there it was an express trip to Mega-jam Central with the rampantly monstrous Bubble Bath EP and its sweatband-wringing follow-up Double or Nothing. When in front of you in the flesh, they don't muck around. In full live mode the set is a thing of raw beauty, as polished as it is primal. Always well received, The Swiss have slayed it at festivals across Australia from Parklife to Splendour in the Grass and back again in addition to headlining their own sweat-laden body writhing club shows. On top of this they've toured Europe nd are due back any second now. This diamond-paved path leads us now to The Swiss' latest offerings. A pulsating ode to the past, present and multiple futures of 4/4 that sees the band perfect what you already know they're good at whilst also pushing into new and, at times, unexpected territory. Definitely don't listen to it if you hate dance floors, good times and yourself though.̸Discography The Swiss - Movement I (2007 Tbots all nite house party) The Swiss - Movement II (2007 Tbots all nite house party) The Swiss - Movement III (2007 Tbots all nite house party) The Swiss - Bubble Bath (2009) The Swiss - Manthem (2009) The Swiss - Manthem (tensnake remix) (2009) The Swiss - Double or Nothing (2011) The Swiss - Double or Nothing (Louis La Roche Remix) (2011) The Swiss - Double or Nothing (Renaissance Man Remix) (2011) The Swiss - Womanthem (2011 Modular) The Swiss - Womanthem (Headman remix) (2011) The Swiss - Elouisa (Kitsune) The Swiss - Elouisa (Late Nite Tuff Guy Just wanna Dance Dub) The Swiss - Elouisa (Villa Remix) The Swiss - Peach Pit
