Electro/Synth Swing!!!

[Chrysalis]

I am so in love with this stunning genre of sound and would love to turn your all onto it!

Below is a wikipedia link to a page that explains the whole thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_swing

In brief, here is the opening of their explanation:

Electro swing, or swing house music, is a music genre that combines the influence of vintage or modern swing and jazz mixed with house, hip hop, and EDM. Successful examples of the genre create a modern and dance-floor focused sound that is more readily accessible to the modern ear, but that also retains the energetic excitement of live brass and early swing recordings. Electro swing groups typically include singers, musicians playing traditional jazz instruments (e.g. trumpet, trombone, clarinet, saxophone) and at least one DJ.

My favorite is a band out of France called Caravan Palace. Many of the group have been with them forever and thus pack a solid and seamless delivery. And the lead singer, Zoe Colitis, is the cat's pajamas. . .the bees knees. . .you gets it!

 

I would recommend that you go to YouTube and watch them perform a hit of their's called BrotherSwing which takes away my breath whenever I listen to it.

They definitely play mood altering music!

Enjoy!

I was experimenting with EDM and having some fun with it! I use soundtrap. I have a song that has a bit of electroswing

I might be a bit ignorant here, but does Tally Hall count as a part of this genre? Because I currently have Hidden in the Sand stuck in my head, and I love it.

Hey, they were my introduction to electro-swing!  I love their high energy, and some of their videos are just fan-dang-tastic!

Oh, absolutely. They came to Portland last year and I bought tickets only to get screwed by an online vendor. So, on the night that I'd hoped to be swinging on the famous bouncing dance floor at the Crystal Ballroom, I stayed home. Grrrr!!!!
