SVT129 Niko Schwind - Grippin World - CD

“You become responsible, forever, for what you’ve tamed,” writes Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince—a quote that resonates with Berlin-based DJ and producer Niko Schwind. Having toured globally and cultivated a deep connection to house music, Schwind now presents his third studio album on Stil vor Talent: Grippin’ World.

This album is a versatile and cohesive journey through soulful grooves, organic arrangements, and rich vocal melodies. From the broken beats and dreamy chords of opener Don't Stop Your Love, to the warm, pop-tinged minimalism of Perfect Fit featuring Heartbeat, Schwind shows his refined touch for melody and restraint. Collaborations with Lil Magdalene on My Heart Is on Fire and the title track bring a vibrant dose of classic piano house and dark-edged basslines.

Twenty-Four ventures into hip-hop territory with clever sampling and vintage flair, while Saturday and Suffering deliver deeper, late-night moments. Tracks like Beautiful Place and Higher Love (feat. Serge Erége) offer hypnotic textures and tropical rhythms, before the final piece, Fantasia, closes the album with nostalgic piano-led warmth.

Grippin’ World is a testament to music as an emotional extension of the heart—crafted with precision, soul, and story.
