Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle as a way to gain full control over their releases and to create a stage for likeminded musicians. Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the label has become a go-to for underground house and electronic music, releasing nearly 100 records and featuring artists including Frits Wentink, Nebraska, Fouk, and Kassian.
