Phibes - Come on, C'mon !

Hello hello. The latest Electro Swing Roundup has been held up by her majesty’s thieving tax monkeys demanding some accounts being handed in. But fear thee not normal service has been resumed and we’ve got some blinding tracks for you!

As I may have mentioned, sumptuous preparations are in place for the Electro Swing Ball Feels The Love - and it’s going to be truly  exquisite. Come and join us for a night of vintage glamour at a Valentines Ball featuring the Electric Swing Circus, DJR, Bertie Dastard, Supabad, live circus acts, burlesque, boylesque and much more.

New Releases Minimatic – Get Swingy EP Rather liking this new EP from Minimatic… Get Lucky reimagined in an easy listening but quite catchy way, the sweet disco house groove of Gonna Swing You and a nice retake on Black Betty. Nice.

S Strong & Funkanizer – Groove Gigolos EP S Strong & Funkanizer have come through with a new 4 track EP of ghetto swing flavoured big bass sounds. All have vintage elements mixed in with some heavy bass action. Available from Juno.

DJ Mixes Shout out to Continental Drifts Chris Tofu for this rather smashing mix covering a whole range of vintage styles all mixed and remixed. My personal find on it is The Lost Fingers tasty version of Pump Up The Jam. He’s included the whole track list so there’s no excuse not to give it a good check over:

Kiwistar has been mixing up his vintage styles with plenty of modern beats on this eclectic selection:

That’s it for this week. If you’ve got anything you’d like included in future roundups hit me up on soundcloud and if you’re around in the West Midlands hope to see you for our Valentines Ball. Laters.
