Even though it is full of nods to this genre or that particular sound, it is impossible to pigeonhole the music that Reba Fay makes under the moniker Swan Meat. Over the past four years, the Cologne-based producer and DJ has released a slew of EPs and singles that are brimming with musical ideas and lyrical content. Her latest release on Mexico's Infinite Machine - where previously like-minded producers such as Ziúr and Born In Flamez have put out records - alternates between happy hardcore, slowed down rhythms reminiscent of cumbia and hard-hitting quasi funk beats, all accompanied by glossy textures and chopped up vocals. Her mix for our Groove podcast offers an even wilder ride - drum and bass meets hardstyle with Mickey Mouse vocals, Radiohead edits with furious breakbeats rub shoulders with a "donkcore" remix of a brostep smash hit. It's as unique as the US American's own productions.
