Biography edit

The group was formed in 1998, experimenting with different electronic styles in search of their own sound.[citation needed] At first, they mixed techno sounds with vintage synthesizers. Then the group morphed makes a sound clearly influenced by the big beat. Currently, some touches of techno, 80s electro, and progressive contemporary house complement their sound.[citation needed] At its inception, the band has a name in Russian, but in 1999 they decided to adapt to the English language, as it would be a more accessible name for the market.[4]

Their debut album, Streamline, was released in 2006 by the Russian label Uplifto Records.[citation needed] In 2006 and 2007, they were named "Best Musical Group" for the Dance Music Awards in Russia.[5]

Internationally, its productions and remixes have been released by labels from the likes of MixMash, Spinnin' Records, Refune, Size, Wall, Musical Freedom and Doorn Records. They also had the support from major artists of electronic music such as Tiësto, David Guetta, Sander Van Doorn, Swedish House Mafia, Laidback Luke, Dirty South and Avicii, among others.[6][7]

Very often they releases productions in collaboration Hard Rock Sofa, another Russian musical trio, which one of its members, Alexander Shapovalov is a cousin of a member of Swanky Tunes, Vadim Shpak. In 2011, both groups released an electronic version of The Stooges song, "I Wanna Be Your Dog". In the same year, they collaborated with Dutch DJ R3hab on the song "Sending My Love" with the vocals of Max'C. In 2012, they collaborated with renowned DJ and producer Tiësto, production "Make Some Noise", including the record compiled by him, Club Life: Volume Two Miami. In September 2012, they founded their own record label Showland, which was distributed by the Dutch label Spinnin' Records, being its first release, the single "Blood Rush".[8]

In November 2017, Swanky Tunes released their Get Swanky EP, including four tracks. According to the artists: "Get Swanky EP reveals Swanky Tunes as multi genre producers. It covers not just club music genres, but goes deeper into pop and dance music."[9]
