Minor Major Grand Schemes
Nearing that halfway mark into 2022, you’d think Bielefeld’s most illustrious producer DJ Swagger would have begun losing steam. Following a successful string of releases throughout the New 20’s - consistently solid slabs on Thirty Year Records, ec2a, Timeisnow, plus killer collaborations with LUZ1E as DJ DOOM - the young musician pulls out his second full-length on his own GODDESS MUSIC imprint in the form of a slick, multi-genre double-pack: Minor Major Grand Schemes.
MMGS is as much a refinement as it is an expansion of Swagger’s stylistic bag of tricks, maneuvering through modern styles of club music, pop sensibilities and sleek production techniques that ticks off boxes for both DJs and casual listeners alike. You got your cheeky intros/interludes and your trap-pop miniatures; dusky UKG street devotionals and bonkers dubstep tools; sexy vocal features, clickity-clack percussion, and biiiig low-end.
This is what DJ Swagger says about his new LP:
This album is the most DJ Swagger sound yet. It wraps up all my influences from techno over hiphop to breakbeat and IDM. I had such a great time working on this and watching the process. I’m beyond grateful for the features and beautiful people that consistently helped me shape this piece of music. As said this is my very own project on my own label. Probably the largest project I ever started and drove to finish.
Minor Major Grand Schemes stands for the balance between objective and subjective reality. Your perception of things mirrors on how you see them, feel them and take them for yourself. Minor major, so to say, important or not-so-important, grand schemes, means that things might get more or less important on how you value them. This is at least what I learned for myself doing a long-term therapy late 2020 into early 2021 against depression and OCD. As my view changed, so did my surroundings. As my surroundings changed, so did my view.
I found that to be a really important and crucial lesson on how to deal with fear, anxiety and feelings alike.
The toughest thing is to learn how to shift your mind towards another, more positive direction. That might take time, a lot of hard work and a strong will.
Be sure that it is okay to ask for help, always. If I didn’t get the help I got during my down times, I don’t know where I would be now.
This is why I decided on that name for this album.
Consider yourself important and beautiful at any given time.
Have fun and enjoy listening to Minor Major Grand Schemes.
