The group formed in 1998, experimenting with different electronic stylings in pursuit of their own sound. At first, there were techno sounds mixed with vintage synthesizers. Then the group moved into a distinctly big-beat influenced sound. These days, hints of the French-house scene, early Depeche Mode, electro-80's, and the contemporary electro-house movement are all finding their way into the mix. The result has been increased recognition from fans and critics in their native Russia.
Swanky Tunes were named "Best Musical Group of 2006" at the Russian Dance Music Awards. Their fiery live performances gained them an invitation to open the Fort Dance Festival that same year. Swanky Tunes have performed on the same stage with many well known acts, including: Jay Jay Johanson, Westbam, Mogwai, Jean-Philippe Papin, Cobra Killer, Digitalism, Rex The Dog, Hyper and others. Swanky Tunes DJ sets have also emerged as a hot ticket item. In 2007, the group entered into the Top 100 DJ list in Russia and now performs regularly in clubs around the country.
In Russia, Swanky Tunes material can be found on Uplifto Records - the boutique label of Sergey Pimenov of PPK fame. Internationally, their tracks and remixes have been issued on Rising Trax, Scream And Shout, KULT, Avangardia and received accolades from the likes of Kris Menace, Patrick Alavi, Delphine Queme, Ricky Ryan aka Can Costa, Blendbrank, Mason, and Joachim Garraud.
Far From Home
Swanky Tunes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the moon light
will shine like the sun
All the people
They'll be moving
To the rhythm
Far beyond
Sometimes i feel
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
And when the rhythm hits
They don't wanna stop
Gonna take this to the top
And at the time
They spread their wings
I'm already gone
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
Sometimes i feel
Like i'm far from home
The lyrics of Swanky Tunes' song "Far From Home" convey a sense of longing for a place of belonging. The singer describes feeling like an outsider, as though they are "far from home," despite being surrounded by people and music. They paint a picture of an exciting night out, where the moonlight illuminates the party-goers and the rhythm takes over. However, even amid all of this excitement, the singer is still searching for a deeper connection.
The repetition of the phrase "Sometimes I feel like I'm far from home" emphasizes the singer's feeling of displacement, while the line "when the rhythm hits, they don't wanna stop" highlights the collective energy and joy felt by everyone else in the crowd. The final line, "I'm already gone," suggests that the singer is resigned to their perceived isolation and ready to move on from the fleeting sense of belonging they feel in this moment.
Overall, "Far From Home" is a song that captures the bittersweet feeling of being both surrounded by people and isolated from them. It speaks to the universal desire to find a place where we truly belong, even if that place is never quite within reach.

In my opinion, this track is so far the best from Swanky Tunes, the melody part fit the vocal no need to say, but what surprises me is that drop, the drop is full of energy, gives me a powerful feel.
