The mix of Swank's original style and wonderful programming has been bringing flocks of northwest rave and club goers off their chairs and onto the dance floor to shake their groove thangs. Swank blends an eclectic selection ranging from the deepest of house, to full-on, in-your-face electro, techno, disco, and breaks.

Hailing from the Seattle area, Swank began his DJ career in the Seattle underground as a resident DJ for local crews such as Recess Productions, Inertia Labs, Funshine, the [nrr] Consortium, and New Bardo Hotel. Through the years he has held guest appearances on local radio stations C 89.5, KGRG, KENU, Groovetech.com, and Oseao.com. He has also held residencies at Last Supper Club (Saturdays), I-Spy (Saturdays), The Deep Down Lounge (Fridays), and Merchant's Cafe (Saturdays). Through his numerous gigs over the past ten years, he has opened for, and played alongside some of the world's great electronic musicians -- DJ Sneak, Doc Martin, Aquasky, Jim Masters, John Howard, Donald Glaude, The Hardkiss Brothers, Jacob London, Jeff Samuel, Disco D, Faust and Shortee, Wyatt Earp, John Tejada, Stewart Walker, Reid Speed, and DB. His current projects include a weekly residency with United House Front's "Electric Avenue" at the CHAC Lower Level (Fridays), and as a resident DJ on C89.5FM's "The Vortex" show (Saturdays 9pm-2am).

06.08.22 - Robots ate my ABBA Records
RAMAR marks a new change in Swank's approach to music. Not only has he ventured away from organic sounds into tech house and electro, but he has also adapted a mixed media format for mixing including vinyl, and Rane's Serato Scratch system. Expect heavy beats, screetchy synths, thumping basslines, and tracky goodness from this 17 song mix.
