Swishcraft Music™, America’s largest LGBTQAI+ owned and operated dance label since 2011, is a Billboard Magazine #1 (USA) and New Music Weekly (UK) #1 charting label, and a voting member of NARAS™ (The Grammys). Since 2014, Swishcraft Music™ is also an International Event Producer, behind such events as Daddy Issues™, DaddyPop! ™, Funky Bear XXL™, and H.O.L™
Swishcraft Music, founded in 2011, was the brainchild of veteran San Francisco DJ / Producer / and Billboard #1 Charting Remix Producer – Matt Consola. Wanting a label for DJs run by DJs, Swishcraft Music evolved out of his mega-popular weekly radio mix-show of the same name syndicated on 515 terrestrial, satellite and internet stations and archived for streaming on iTunes Streaming. Consola released exactly 500 episodes before stepping away to focus more intently on the record label, DJing, and expanding the club events into Canada & Mexico.
Known internationally for its passion for developing artists and releasing quality ‘vocal’ house music, whether its signing new talent or working with legendary artists, Swishcraft has built an international fan base dedicated to quality vocal driven productions. Because of our passion for well-crafted vocal house tracks with powerful lyrics and melodies, whether it’s House, Tech House, Nu-Disco, or Big Room productions, it’s the vocal that is at the heart of every Swishcraft production.
As an impressive roster of talent grew including such luminaries as Grammy nominated artists like Heather Small (The Voice of M People), Matt Alber, Tony Moran, France Joli, Diane Charlemagne, Jeanie Tracey, and Inaya Day, to consistent global chart-topping dance artists such as Katherine Ellis (of Bimbo Jones), Debby Holiday, Janice Robinson, Abigail (Zsiga), Peyton, Amuka, Levi Kries, Zoë Badwi, Barry Harris, and Zhana Roiya, so did the labels recognition on the International charts and on radio. Swishcraft scored its first Billboard Dance #1 in 2017 with the single “Lick Me Up” by Tony Moran & Dani Toro feat. Zhana Royia and since then has topped every major dance chart globally ever since. “But it’s not about chart positions,” say founder Matt Consola. “Sure, it can be an indication that DJs are playing it, and the fans are streaming it. But for me, it’s more important that these songs have a legacy. Will they still be around in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? Will these artists be in demand to perform these tracks in 20 years? That is my hope and that is my goal.”
With a strong vison and an ever-growing roster, Swishcraft Music is excited for what the future brings. We hope you’ll join us on the ride.
