New Playlist Alert: Electro Swing
Get into the (electro) swing of things with a hybrid that glues together opposite ends of a century. You’d think that this oddball combo would be a result of an AI experiment, but the mashup genre has been a thing for years.
As the Gatsby-esque playlist art indicates, swing music of the Roaring ‘20s is a huge part of the equation, bringing the extravagance and animated jazz, ragtime stylings to the party. Add in the modern electro element and together they create a remix that hits nostalgic notes while landing firmly in the twenty first century.
This retro-remix playlist inspired by Electro Swing collects tracks from labels including Organic Spark, UNDERscore, and the label that’s always up for an ambitious blend or two… Dancing About Architecture.
Fueled by vibrant rhythms, swinging pianos and clarinets, lavish apparel and parties, and maybe a little absinthe, the fun of the 1920s dance scene mashed up with modern electronica is a combination made for night life adventures with friends, soundtracks for slapstick pet videos, and quirky ads with jerky edits.
Get yourself a little Electro Swing that spices up the past… and the present.
