CUTS 01 / a melting pot of dark wave electronic, footwork, bounce, hip hop, jazz and textured instrumentals all linked together by a cacophony of samples which have been cut, chopped, and screwed from vinyls excavated from the depths of dollar bins around Los Angeles and beyond.

SWAN MEAT is a producer + composer from Washington D.C. who is currently based in Cologne, Germany. Her previous releases include 2016’s BOUNTY EP (Permalnk), 2017’s Knife Splits Ice EP, produced in collaboration w/ Yoshitaka Hikawa (Apothecary), and the self-released ‘Lathe of Heaven’ mini-EP, as well as numerous singles and remixes. Only interests outside of producing are browsing the Kingdom Hearts tag on Deviantart and playing Hearthstone.

On her debut EP, ‘Bounty,’ Swan Meat hinged her sonic world upon baby Metroids, spoken word and vomit. On her second official solo EP, TAME, the producer and composer writes themes for impossible boss battles, paeans to imaginary neon bullet hell games in the last-ever arcade on earth, and waltzes for insects. Both wholly original and unabashedly in love with its 8-bit and symphonic influences, TAME features tremendous MIDI orchestra arrangements, rolling/roiling taikos, vocaloid poetics, and original sound design equal parts ominous and crystalline.
