No I don’t know how you do this, I turn off my loose ends for you And we both have been through this, Your feelings, I prove them untrue With time off the dime, surely you can come inside Baby I put up all these signs, just for you While you got what is mine, though we’re sharin’ common heights, Baby I pull up with those signs, over you Go and say that you miss me, We ain’t got time for trouble on our ends Wake me up softly, name the price to pay For holding hands With time off the dime, surely you can come inside Baby I put up all these signs, just for you While you got what is mine, though we’re sharin’ common heights, Baby I pull up with those signs, over you Yeah I’m dinin’ right at nine, Probably you could come inside, Let me put up all these signs Just for you While you got what is mine, though we’re sharin’ common heights, Baby I pull up with those signs, I pull up with those signs I left the city in the rear view Apple powder, funny money ‘Cause my head ain’t see-through Don’t make me care about the details (Care about the details) Left side traffic, hair down Speaker bumpin’ “Speak No Evil” Driving with that stick shift All my friends on big shit Secrets in your wallet plus the Memories in your lipstick The group is where I come from Your grandma said I’m handsome Would never ever blackmail But I did pay her upfront I am gonna rock it With my hands inside my pockets Drippin’ from the fingers And it’s comin’ out the closet Yea you don’t even know shit For I’ll be on my own shit Yeah you been talking bullshit For you don’t even own shit And it’s like drawing on blank papers I got that in my nature Walk on bout, see you later And it’s like riding with the top down But I ain’t got no top down Wibs you should get up now And it’s like drawing on blank papers I checked that with the waiter Ain’t too many I can smell now But I’m gonna ‘tack that later

Beep Me 03:02
How am I gonna make you mine? Maybe not around this time And did you ever tell the truth? Cause I feel like I been exposed to you Took me a while to get over you My city’s been praying for the both of you So could you stay around this time? Yeah, could you stay around this time? How am I gonna make you mine? Maybe not around this time And did you ever tell the truth? Cause I feel like I been exposed to you Took me a while to get over you My city’s been praying for the both of you So could you stay around this time? I wish you stayed around this time I love ya, I hate ya, I eat ya up I love ya, I hate ya, I eat ya up I love ya, I hate ya, I eat ya up I love ya, I hate ya, I eat ya up On god my mental ain’t protected I gotta whip it til I wreck it Eyo Clank, where’s Ratchet? Knock em off the phone, cause they know I got the best shit around

Do you really want to make a difference? Do you really wanna change your life Did you really wanna hear that question? Or you wanna just catch a vibe? I ain’t really gonna make this personal, just know that I’m not surprised Concise cos our time is precious, Do you really need the gift of mine? Or not cos the paradigm’s shifting, do you really wanna play this safe? Are you even gonna get an answer? Cos the world doesn’t work that way Never mind keep your head down working, like your worth what your company states Feel taxes lemme mind my business And this might cheeky, but it’s our nature to want things easy And you know that your boys just human, Uncut gems in a vault full of VVs See these sparkle your head turns briefly, pause Do you need that really, chiefly masked for my weekly debrief (chi-ching) Do you feel impulsive, is control your bane Your reflection staring, is reflection vain? (nah) Like are humans mirrors, see your light and reflect your rays If they’re hot then they might just burn you, cos gas just reacts that way Firm grip from the laws of science, worlds stiff but it wants compliance, Sounds wrong but it tests your volume, at a stretch little turn ups hide it Shouldman pipe it UK for a shortage, man it comes like political climate Unsure but they wing this life thing, Sounds dumb but I might decline it

No need to ponder life’s complexities But who is next to me See those angles textin’, wrappin’ up my jealousy That shit be kickin’ through Your scent is heavenly Scratch my head for the itch that’s after letter „B“ We spinnin’ endlessly So far from eventually Time to get a grip motherfucker Til it’s rest in peace I break the deputy It’s like anatomy You’re in my body, in my soul, in my seven seas (damn) I spot the scene before I get up Goin’ round in circles for that vicuña that you’re made of Check my stamina, low ballin’ crayon bar I plot to plant some shit Some shit you will remember, yah You make me wonder what’s this feeling like (You make me wonder what’s this feeling like) You really make we wanna come to life again (You really make we wanna come to life again) Oh I’ve been yawning throughout the night (Oh I’ve been yawning throughout the night, night) I think it’s time to get my body up again (Shoot, get a grip motherfucker get a grip) No, I’m not channeling too well (Check your phone, get some money, do the trick) Oh yeah, my body heat is moving (Shoot, do it now, grab a swagger, come undone) Ohh, now what am I supposed to do?

about

"Chemistry Forever is more or less like a mantra. It's all about that interpersonal, everyday chemistry that I've come to experience in different ways as a young adult. Discovering new worlds and connecting the dots – especially communally. It's this Chemistry that I want to keep up Forever."

– DJ Swagger

After his first two one-off singles “Black Pegasus” and “Day Without You” introduced DJ Swagger’s massive songwriting abilities and love for recording instruments, his first album on Kommerz Records, “Chemistry Forever”, showcases his background in UK-leaning electronic music as well as new tendencies towards neo soul, indie pop and jazz. Welcome DJ Swagger to the Kommerz Records stage and prepare for the album to drop on March 22nd.

The 25-year-old from West Germany’s Bielefeld is pretty much the archetype of a so-called Wunderkind. At his young age the producer, DJ, multi instrumentalist and songwriter released more than 40 vinyl records including two solo albums and endless rave tracks since turning 16. As of most recently and even though coming from an electronic music background DJ Swagger’s creative agenda ventured more and more into classic songwriting and taking over the role of lead vocalist of his one-man-band. His third solo album “Chemistry Forever” showcases this transformation from UK-influenced electronica towards neo soul and indie without losing its listeners at any point. His subtle melancholic vocal performance and the just as subtle, yet constant pop appeal make this equation solve itself magically. From electro, 2 step and breakbeat over hip-hop, indie and R&B to a final bebop (!) madness – “Chemistry Forever” is a trip for music lovers while each and every song has heavy potential to be listened to on repeat.

Besides his own vocal performances DJ Swagger also invited rappers TripSixVivo (London), Vitus04 (Bielefeld), Kaba (Paris) and poet Dainell Aiken (NYC) for mesmerizing guest perfomances. Additional production work came from Hamburg dance producer Speckman and jazz outfit Jonas Gersema Trio.

Aaaand since we called him a Wunderkind: Be aware that he’s not only a next level musician, but studied graphic designer, illustrator and most likely many more things. Just an example: Most recently he sold self-made perfumed candles through his D.I.Y. label and fashion brand Goddess Music. He obviously designed everything around the album, directed the music videos and merch drops are to be expected.

For us, brothers Lukas and Jonathan, the love story goes way back though. In the midst of the long gone lo-fi house hysteria (2017-2018) we discovered the Bielefeld native‘s dance floor productions, which fused hip-hop braggadocio with pumping electronic music. We kept following up with Swagger’s ever growing discography and his ever evolving musical journey into new genres that made us even bigger fans. Following his genre-fluid second album “Minor Major Grand Schemes” (self-released on his label Goddess Music in 2022), we felt super honored when he reached out to release his upcoming project via Kommerz.
