What if Deee-Lite were in 2024? They would be SWYDE — a new, daring pink band creating their own alternative take on the beloved Y2K era music they barely remember as kids. SWYDE produces original songs at the intersection of house, electronica, and eurodance, poised to release the most summery song of the season.

SWYDE’s debut single, “Takin’ My Time,” blends nostalgic vibes with a fresh twist. The music draws inspiration from the carefree hits of the '90s (think Crystal Waters and Robin S.) and Balearic house, featuring laid-back rhythms, a catchy motif, and the iconic Korg M1 synthesizer sound. SWYDE rides the wave of recent nostalgic electronic trends, illuminating summer with their ode to serenity, while infusing their unique perspective with chopped vocals and a distinctly playful, “pinkcore” atmosphere.

SWYDE’s approach to classic house isn’t about showcasing serious producers’ skills. It’s about embracing fun and creating a vibrant atmosphere, as evident in their music video. This, combined with their K-pop-like lifestyle, has helped them build a strong fanbase on TikTok, even before releasing any music.
