The Funk based sounds of the time chimed a chord with each of the-then school mates, leading to an ever increasing interest in all things Funky and soulful.

Current release is Flatwound - Tickle Me Disco 12" plus Digi including remixes by Tal M Klein (Aniligital), Diesler (Tru Thoughts) and Jamie Lloyd (Future Classic) - SWAT001. Expect a big year from the SWAT Records stables with plenty of solid business hitting the airwaves near you.
