Spanish artist De La Swing has made quite the name for himself across the world as a prolific DJ and producer with his attention-to-detail and technical skills. The brainchild of Domingo Bellot, De La Swing has the innate ability to connect with the crowd while keeping his sets varied and eclectic, a true master of his craft. A resident DJ of the ever-popular elrow, De La Swing continues to evolve as an artist, drawing influence from drum and bass, techno, hip-hop, and r&b.




A man of many hats, De La Swing, is more than a DJ and producer; he also serves as the label manager and A&R of elrow Music, helping it grow and flourish. Now a respected discography, elrow Music spawned the off-shoot label, elrow Limited, a label for deeper, more underground sounds. De La Swing’s genuinely a fun DJ to watch, as you can feel his love for the music through his careful track selection and animated DJing style. If you’re not familiar with who he is, we’re listing off what we feel are five of De La Swing’s Best Sets.







1. De La Swing Boiler Room Ibiza x elrow 2016

De La Swing kicked off Boiler Room’s special Ibiza broadcast by bringing the Spanish flair of epic party crew, elrow. Creating a set full of house, disco house, techno, and more, De La Swing added the perfect soundtrack to this unique and costume-filled event. Also, if you pay close attention, you can see Eats Everything getting down in the background.




2. De La Swing Live from elrow Town London

Like most of his others, this set showcases De La Swing’s talent. His ability to read the crowd while demonstrating his mastery of flawless mixing. His opening track, “SL2 DJs Take Control (Shadow Child Remix),” really kicks things off. The rest of his track selection, which includes a remix of Aretha Franklin’s “Deeper Love,” is full of incredible vibes and gives you a feel for what De La Swing’s all about.




3. De La Swing at Street Parade 2019

Next, we have De La Swing’s set from Street Parade Zurich, Switzerland, the largest techno parade since Love Parade ended. He threw down banger after banger on the Center Stage by elrow, and let’s say the crowd was feeling it. Opening his set with Frank Nitty and J8man’s track “La Noche,” a Latin-inspired dance track perfect for shaking your booty. That song set the tone for his whole mix, full of soothing bass-heavy classics and new tunes for your dancing pleasure.




4. De La Swing Live at Sunday is 4 Lovers

De La Swing playing at an event called Sunday is 4 Lovers is pretty on point. His energetic Latin-styled tracks fit that theme and couple that with him playing a three-hour set is just *chef’s kiss.* The dubby, jazz-filled songs interspersed throughout add the perfect amount of sophistication while keeping the mix light and fun.




5. De La Swing and Cristian Varela @ Denon DJ x Beatport LINK’D Sessions

LINK’D Sessions is a collaboration between Denon DJ, Engine DJ, and Beatport LINK to bring you DJs streaming their sets without using laptops. This mix is two hours long, featuring both De La Swing and Cristian Varela, but De La Swing holds it down for the first hour. This setup is cool, featuring De La Swing throwing down on four decks while keeping the beats vibrant and funky. He’s laser-focused yet doesn’t take it too seriously as he dances a ton after mixing in a new song.

5 Can't-Miss De La Swing YouTube Dj Sets

Over the years, the elrow brand has made a name for itself as the world's most colorful and entertaining party brands. Elrow has found success through its model of maintaining a family-run organization that bases its events around capturing the absurdity of partying. Known for incredible tech house and techno, a cavalcade of costumed performers, immersive themes, and more confetti than one can imagine the brand has expanded from its home in Spain to an international event brand, and so too has its vision. So it only makes sense that the brand expanded into the record business with the founding of elrow music in 2012.




To champion a label, they had to ensure that its leader was someone with intimate knowledge of the ethos of elrow. There is no better choice than Spanish legend and elrow resident De La Swing.


When the label was created in 2012, the main objective was simply to release music from the brand's residents. After a slow start, De La Swing dedicated himself to the task of organizing the label. He quickly helped the team get signed up to digital streaming platforms, connect with distributors, and create unique art that spoke to the brand.




After a year, De La Swing volunteered to manage the label full-time. He created the marketing plan that helps translate elrow's vibrant atmosphere. Understanding the musical and artistic direction is essential, and De La Swing's intimate understanding of the business helped ceate a unique identity for the label.



After a few years, elrow music finally began to break through in the DJ community. Max Chapman's 2016 single, "Body Jack," was the #1 track in the Beatport tech house charts. After the breakthrough success, elrow music began receiving demos from top-level DJs worldwide.




Later that year, Camelphat sent demos that helped elrow music go from indie label darling to a true powerhouse in the eyes of the electronic world.




As with any label, the biggest challenge is staying relevant. As the head of elrow music for almost nine years, De La Swing has witnessed wave after wave of change within the genres that elrow music represents. He has spoken on these observations, noting that recent years have seen greater house music influences, with disco and higher BPMs returning. Additionally, techno has become increasingly popular, with tech house artists adopting its distorted acid sounds. Minimal and deep tech have made massive inroads into the scene, with artists like Michael Bibi and Pawsa leading the charge. For elrow music, the key has been balancing these trends with the themes of the label. Finding tracks that maintain the underground tech house sound but also have elrow's signature sounds of groove, joy, and energy.








In 2019, elrow music announced a sub-label, elrow Limited. The label focuses exclusively on deeper, more minimal sounds. In creating a sub-label, elrow music is making a statement of longevity and relevance. The brand is as strong as ever, and De La Swing is a true champion of its musical curation.



How De La Swing Translated the Hedonism of elrow's Events into the Sound of elrow Records

The eclectic DJ and producer Domingo Bellot, better known as De La Swing, is one of Spain's most versatile artists. A staple in the game, he is well known for his sets that brim with effervescent vitality. His style bridges the gap between deep tech's sexy, soulful funk and the scintillating percussive spice of Spanish tech house. His diverse background, which includes a foundation in Drum & Bass, allows him to subtly layer in notes of hip hop and techno, crafting a rambunctious and continuously evolving style.




Valiant elrow resident since 2010, De La Swing has helped lead the playful and vibrant party conglomerate towards global success. He’s shared the stage with living legends like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, and the Martinez Brothers. And his frequent and celebrated b2b sets with the likes of Skream, WaFF, Eat’s Everything, and Nathan Barato spark joy on the confetti-strewn dancefloors of elrow events from Amsterdam and Ibiza to London and Dubai.






Similar to elrow's outlandish style, De La Swing has a bouncing, animated sound that breaks bounds and defines dance floors. He has released tracks on Toolroom, Glasgow Underground, and of course, elrow Music, where he is the musical director.




Here are five luminous De La Swing tracks full of energy and dancefloor allure that speak to his unique and quintessential sound.



Wade - Bump N Grind (De La Swing Remix)

This energetic tech house rework of fellow elrow alum Wade’s 2017 release keeps the pace of classic De La Swing, utilizing hip hop cuts and chunky bassline drops. This tune is a driving, jazzed-tinged beat that mixes stuttering synth motifs and tropical electronic notes. The energy never slows, making it a perfect banger.










De La Swing - Break the Mirror

Released on the EP Break the Mirror, this track has a classic rhythm and groove, fully leaning into De La Swing's penchant for sweet and sexy deep tech. With springy modular synth layers sprinkled amongst horns and soulful lyrics, this tune is ready to captivate any time of the day or night.










De La Swing - Hi Score

This track is full of new elements of house and soul, creating the perfect allure for the dancefloor. Produced with reverberating grooves and warm, inviting, and sultry vocals radiate the vitality to make you move.










De La Swing, Baum - Disco Kids

The name says it all. Fast and groovy with a filtered disco loop ripped from the dancefloor of Studio 54, “Disco Kids” is the kind of tune that will elicit a massive “Woop woop” on the dancefloor as soon as the beat drops.










De La Swing - Kiss My Groove

This De La Swing production goes way back to 2013, "Kiss My Groove" is a wonky tech house groove with a massive driving bassline and an avalanche of sparkling percussive loops that keep the energy moving. This one dropped before the current tech house explosion but feels at home on the dancefloor today as ever, merging tribal beats with thick, sub-swallowing bass.
