Swordtail Records is a new label out of down under Australia. The label aims to bring you some of the freshest progressive sounds from Australian producers and also from others around the globe. With Australia not having many progressive based labels at the moment, we here at Swordtail thought it was time to try and sort that problem out.

Initial releases and remixes will see acts such as Native, Trafik, 4Mal, Retrobyte and Daniel Gregory unleashing some deep, twisted and atmospheric sounds. The label will begin with some upfront digital releases available from a variety of digital stores and in the future will also be bringing out some top line compilations and singles in CD format.

All releases will come with a variety of mixes to cover off different styles going from Electro through to Trance. Many of the releases will bring new and exciting vocal talents to the forefront. If you have any tracks that you think we might be interested in, then simply visit the contact page and drop us a link to your tune. In the mean time, we hope you enjoy what Swordtail Records has to offer the wonderful world of music.

SR17 Python - Python EP (Jul 8th, 2008)

  Python delivers up Spanish Guitar with haunting pads, tough beats and a solid locked in groove, this track is one not to be messed with. Monkey Island is in a similar vein, but a little more techier and adds a bit of funk to the style. Jerico's Remix of Spanish Guitar goes for a very housey take on things and adds a nice little cut of vocal to bounce the track around. Lo Tide's Mix slows the tempo down a little, but adds some more darkness to the original and slides in and out of itself, creating a great listening piece. Style Clash techs things up a bit on Monkey Island, with low rumbling basslines carrying melodies throughout.

Tom Solo (Invisible DJs) (USA)
"Nice and mellow prog on the Island Style mix, and cool chillout vibes on the lo tides mix. Something with snare & hi-hat combo is turning me off the originals though, it seems forced into the track." - 2.5 / 5
