If the French could bottle that joyous little something extra that they add to their dance music that gives it that distinct summery, feel good sound they would be bloomin millionaires!!

BeatauCue seem to have that little something extra in plentiful supply with their track Evola that’s for sure. One for day’s when the sun shines and the breeze is light and all there is to do is dance with your friends.

About this Debut Album Robot Soul , which is out now

The Music Industry , Music and Girls , dogs n peatnut Butter and Puke !!

All in that order

Well Adam/ Ewan ... Hows u Doin .. Were Did get the name Ewan Hoozami from !! .

Hey man, I'm currently stricken with manful but aside from that I'm all good! I am never really sure if the name was a blessing or a curse… some people get it straight away, other people I don't think will ever get it - and to my European friends it's asking a lot of their English to understand. But then I've been called 'stupendously well-named' by magazines on occasion so it's got it's plus points. Basically, when I was a nipper I had a friend called Ewan Hale, which if you say quickly sounds like 'You inhale'… long story short I thought 'You n whose army' was quite funny. A few years later my brother and I started DJing and we needed aliases… I gave him the choice between 'Ewan Hoozami' and 'Awesome Welles' - he went for Awesome Wells and the rest is history. Incidentally my brother abandoned that monicker a long time ago and I've since seen other DJs with that name… biters lol.

Ur new Album “Robot Soul “ sees u Dipping ur Toes in a Bit of Song Writing and Singing , a bit o Soul and Bit of Funk . Which to be Honest is a Welcome Break for the usual “ Lets Get Ten Tunes for the Dancefloor and add some wobble Bass “ Type of Album . Was this a Hard Transition for u ?

I think, in all honesty, the album had been brewing for a long time. Anyone who has followed my modest career to date will know I've never stuck to any one style for long - I wanted to become a good producer and songwriter, and I can't see how I'd achieve that by only learning how to do one genre, so my approach has always been pretty scattergun. But this is the first time I've really poured my heart into songs in a concerted fashion. It seemed a natural progression to try doing my own vocals once the songs started to take form - I've always written lyrics and was an MC before I was a DJ . I also believe that all music should be soulful - if it's not coming from an honest place it is literally worthless in my opinion. It wasn't like there was some master-plan to write an album or go in a different direction, either - it just sort of happened. I was feeling a little disillusioned with the wobbly bass stuff that I dabbled in but I wouldn't say ever felt comfortable with, and I just thought I'd see what happened if I wrote songs for myself.

Are u finding it Hard to Push original music At the Moment ?

I think we all know the music industry is pretty knackered at the moment, but I had the album signed to a fantastic label called Pedigree Cuts, who are working really hard to make it as successful as possible. I think it's hard to push music full stop - everyone is struggling, but there are plenty of reasons to be positive too. The biggest problem I face is that people I have two 'faces' - the Ewan Hoozami that plays with a live band, sings and writes original soul music, and the Ewan Hoozami that DJs to rock parties. I'm confident I can find a way to market both to promoters, but I don't really make it easy for myself!

What live Dates have u got in Support of the Album?

I've done album launch shows in London, Bristol and Brighton which have gone great - I have put together an amazing live band and am very excited about the future of the live show. We have more shows in Bristol on April 4th and 5th, and I am working on some more dates as we speak. Again it's tough because I won't play for peanuts and yet music has been devalued in our society to the extent that people see paying to see bands as some sort of insult. It's bizarre.

and Now for a Standard Rock n Roll Question ......

How u been ever caught in a hotel with a girl thats had peanut butter smeared over her and a pet dog by her side ?

I once found an insurance salesman in a travelodge lobby covered in his own vomit, does that count?

Cheers for ur time Adam !! Best of luck with The Album !! Its out now !

FOR THE REST OF THIS POST CLICK READ MORE!!!

The C@ In The H@ has been tweaking the biggest tune on the planet at the mo:

Here’s some crisp reggae style vocals mixed with an old style swing-hop beat. Works really well.

Dutty Moonshine have been getting busy on Slamboree’s full on track Death Of A Festival. Peak time party banger!

Not strictly swing this, but I’m always a sucker for the Hot 8 Brass Band and if they want to give away free tunes why should I argue?

New Releases Vintage Remix Allstars – The Punk Panther It’s always nice to see a new record label on the block and so we welcome Vintage Remix Records with their first release – The Punk Panther. Oh and it’s rather good! Available to buy from Juno.

Electric Swing Circus – Bella Belle Remixes There was a great standard of remixes for this competition and the winners have now been released on Ragtime Records. They’re all good so check out which ones you like and download them now from Juno.

Bart & Baker… on an umbrella! Random post of the week goes to Bart & Baker. They’ve done a remix of Real Tuesday Meld and released it on an umbrella! Confused much? Yep me too. Go here to unravel the strangeness.
Perhaps more relevantly Bart & Baker also have a 30 track double album on the way with lots of new original stuff and remixes.

DJ Mixes Been enjoying this blues and ghetto funk set from Mike Jackson. Good stuff mister!

Cab Canavaral has been getting clever adding live saxophone to his DJ sets:

Spencer C from San Francisco dropped me this mix with plenty of well mixed classic tunes. He says that the local scene for Electro Swing is non-existent – well you know what that means – start your own night! It’s the best way to get exposure and spread the love!

That’s it for this week. If you’ve got anything you’d like included in future roundups hit me up on soundcloud. Keep it swing. Laters!

Electro Swing Roundup
