Biografia
Sweely has a simple test for a track: if it makes him start dancing instinctively in the studio, the groove is working. Born William Montana and originally from Nice, the French producer studied piano and drums before turning a bedroom full of machines into his main instrument. Videos of his fast, playful jams helped bring him to the attention of the Concrete community, and his live sets retain that sense of music being assembled in the moment. Onstage he moves between an MPC, an APC40 and hands-on improvisation; on record, the same reflex can surface as elastic bass, clipped vocals, jazz colour or electro snap. Releases including Time for Freakness, What’s Wrong and the album Closer Energy show how comfortably he crosses house, minimal and electro without losing rhythmic character.
