Swin, your artistry speaks volumes. From your debut release on Magic Carpet—an incredible stream of connecting frequencies—to your presence at our very first ESD party, you’ve brought authenticity, depth, and connection to every moment. Your ability to set an atmosphere of sound, as quietly confident as it is impactful, has left a lasting impression.

As your homeboy Will mentioned: “Don’t worry! It is not his first rodeo.”

It’s a privilege to share **ESD020** with you, marking the 20th edition of the series. This beautiful mixtape showcases your genius, featuring two of your own unreleased productions alongside first-class dubby house gems—a perfect finale to a transformative year.

2024 was a year of challenges for the world, but also a year of intentional creation for us. Amidst the noise of bad news and a growing numbness to it, ESD became a space to detach and foster positivity. Meeting you, Swin, was one of those affirming moments when connection felt truly meant to be.

Your music embodies courage—the kind it takes to sit with oneself, face life as it is, and find peace in the present. There’s a resonance in your work that inspires trust in a brighter future and encourages others to express themselves.

We also honor the memory of your emotional support dog, Pepper. Rest in peace, little soul with a big heart. This mixtape is a tribute to her as much as it is a celebration of you.

Looking to 2025: Let’s leave behind what we can’t change and make space for freedom—to create, to express, and to inspire. Carrying forward the emotional expressions of 20 mixtapes, we step into the new year ready to embrace the unknown and continue this journey together.

Consume less, create more, and follow the leaders of freedom.

With gratitude for the journey so far and excitement for what’s to come,

The Emotional Support Dog Team
