“It’s almost like it was a back to basics sound – everything went back to the original traditions of electronic music,” Loefah says of the Swamp81 aesthetic. “People are exploring the roots of dance music and putting a new twist on it, and through that, it’s gone through different tempos and categories – house, techno and electro. It’s been quite exploratory I think.” He likens the openness and energy of the music he plays now to the early days of dubstep, when “it wasn’t really a genre – it was more about fresh, cutting edge music.”
