Electro-Swing: Recommendations

[Brown Cap]

Are any of you escapists into electro-swing?

I have discovered Parov Stelar, and like some of the music, but not everything they make is what I am interested in. I really like this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xsoCki4pTk

Do you have any additional recommendations similar to this?

Sound a bit like some songs by Gramatik:

Spoiler: The Correspondents

Funnily enough, I was introduced to this group by someone else on this site. They are also really good to see live; they played the Freshers' Ball in my first year of university, and their lead singer is ridiculously energetic.

Spoiler: Bart & Baker

If you're on Spotify, they also do a really good playlist of electro swing music.

These peeps are more hip-hop than electro, but I figured I might as well include them anyway.

Beyond these groups, I often just go on YouTube and search for 'electro swing mix' to get a good collection of tunes.

Electro-swing? While not necessarily "electro", let me introduce you to the wonderful world of MOVITS!


I'm always going to assume that the lead singer is the Swedish Adam Savage, and shall listen to no arguments to the contrary.

OT: Well, I don't have much to recommend as I've only listened to bits and pieces of electro-swing, but this what first sparked my interest in the genre.

The thing about Parov Stelar is that every album he makes is completely different. For example, in Coco, he added a bit of a hip-hop feel to it; The Princess was more focused on vocals; That Swing emphasized the 'electro' part of 'electro-swing'. You might consider going through more of his stuff and see what appeals to you. And if you ever get a chance to see him live, GO. When performing, he mutes the instrumental tracks in his songs and gets a live band to play those instead. Makes a hell of a show out of it too. It's absolutely fantastic.

In the meantime, here are a few songs you might like:

Not a massive fan of the genre by any means, but I do enjoy some Proleter once in a while.

Well, I like electro, and I like swing but while I don't dislike this, it's not quite my thing. But thanks for putting a name to the music all the damned kids play in clubs round my way these days. *shakes old man cane*

Oh my word, that is something special.

Gentlemen.
Thankyou for introducing me to this wonderfully unique iteration of the hipping and the hopping.
The kind one can enjoy with afternoon tea and a scone.
I am in your debt.
