Hello swingers and swingettes!! !

I’ve got a speakeasy full of of neo-burlesque divas, banging blues berzerkas, and sexy screen sirens to report upon and bring freshly swinging into your world. From the bassline drive of the Dutty Moonshakers, Vintage at Voltage, Flatcapped Farmers, to more free tunes than you can drop a piano on, let’s swing into the future with a dance from the past…

Free Music Swing Hop Don’t Stop – Speakeasy Vol. 3 – Compiled by Don Mescal Top of the class has to go to this free compilation from Don Mescal and the Montreal Speakeasy crew. There’s too many to mention on this one, try C@ In The H@, Menage Quad, JPod, Smokey Joe and the Kid and many, many more. Best of all it’s totally FREE so, quite simply get downloading  here and dive on in!

Loving this funking up of Etta James’ soulful singing style by Copycat. Available for a limited time from his bandcamp.

Big up to Sammy Senior for this smashing remix which will be doing plenty of damage at dancefloors this summer.

Deladap are grooving along nicely on this choice freebie:

Sound Assembly’s Sally Bloomer teamed up with Cut La Roc for this release. They’ve nicely decided to give the Rory Hoy remix away:

Algorythmik have very kindly decided to give away their latest EP from their facebook. A nice mix of funk, electro and big beats going on here:

Lamuzgueule have a new album coming up right now, and in preparation have kindly offered these freebies from their track with Bart & Baker:

Minimatic have been getting busy on this piano based slice of swinging ragtime:

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

It’s great to have Francis Red back with this great swing banger:

Neki Stranac has been mixing balkan flavours with the moombahton sound. Quality bass bothering business.

This has been out for a bit but I’ve just come across it from Gramophonedzie. It’s got a nice house tempo with a bluesy style riff and vocals.

The Jenova Collective have been looking less far back in time for this ghetto funk style remix of Parliament:

Ahead of their first EP which is coming out on June 15th Captain Flatcap have put together this tasty slice of swinging whomp. Get it from Jack The Cad’s blog here.

Nice piece of uptempo swing from Frizzo:

What’s not to like about the retro sounding funk of Cee-Roo?

Defunk has been adding the bass n glitch to this 60′s classic. It never sounded like this before!

Swinging, oriental, and maybe a little bit odd. The Swingbot are back…

Nice to hear a new version of Singing In The Rain from Swing-Thru:

And this…

Fancy hearing a well put together interview with Molotov Jukebox? Check this out:

There’s no download on this one, but I just wanted to add in the rather great live sounds of the Electronic Swing Orchestra:

New Releases Dutty Moonshine – Rum Runners LP It’s great that Dutty Moonshine have managed to release their debut album after numerous strong EP’s and releases up until now. Although you can still hear little snippets of swing thrown in, the Dutty boys have definitely headed down the path marked bass because this release has more in common with the ghetto funk crew than the electro swingers. Recommended.

Vintage Voltage: The Sounds of Trapeze, Vol​.​1 Not long ago I mentioned in a post that someone had said not much was going with electro swing in San Francisco. It turns out that this was totally inaccurate because Delachaux has been in touch saying that San Francisco has been rocking the swing sound for a long time with their infamous Trapeze parties. They’ve now gone one better and released a cracking compilation of banging swingers on DirtyVolt Records featuring amongst others Dutty Moonshine, Bart & Baker, Defunk and Mr Jennings. It’s only $6 from bandcamp.

Gypsy Fever – Monkey Records Full marks to Monkey Records for bringing out a great compilation featuring all of the New Zealand and Australian eastern european and balkan influenced bands. If you like your gypsy flavoured music this is a must. Available for only 8 euros from bandcamp.

Niko Ne Zna – Renegade Brass Bandits If you like the sound of that last one check out this album which is rocking the brass, balkan and gypsy sound. Great accomplished musicianship and live grooves. Get it from bandcamp.

Swing Republic – The Return Of Electro Swing Republic EP Denmark’s Per Ebdrup is back with a new EP on Freshly Squeezed in advance of his bands new album. Featuring four jazzy and laid back tracks with the vocal talents of Billie Holiday, Blind Willie McTell, The Mills Brothers and The Boswell Sisters.

Bart & Baker feat Kitten On The Keys – Whoopee If you want a polished slice of swing and pop then look no further than another slick release from Bart & Baker. Buy from Juno.

Electro Blues – Vol 2 Sampler (Vinyl Only) Freshly Squeezed have brought out a vinyl only sampler for their upcoming Electro Blues Vol 2 compilation. It features the cracking Work Song by Cee Roo, Bobby C Sound TV and Ecklectic Mick. Available from here.

DJ Mixes If you like your swing with a heavy handful of bass then check out Wolfies latest mixtape…

Nice to see everyone’s favourite hooker is back swinging again…

That’s it. See you in a month! If you’ve got anything you’d like included in future roundups hit me up on soundcloud.

Electro Swing Roundup – June 2014

Forward-thinking dancehall dubbers Mungo’s Hi-Fi are pleased to announce the release of their new album ‘Serious Time’via Scotch Bonnet Records, set for release on 2nd June.

The Scottish reggae soundsystem project, which hails from Glasgow, began as a collective of music fans before transitioning into DJs playing local bars and clubs. Frustrated by the sound quality of in-house systems, the group has spent over a decade investing in their own rig, aiming for full control of their sound in a unique holistic approach that caters to their listening crowd.

Following on from their 2011 release ‘Forward Ever’, ‘Serious Time’ is a record that threads together all aspects of soundsystem bizness, from Studio One style live brass to digital bass bangers. Album opener and lead single ‘Serious Time’ abounds with feel-good reggae vibes that make for a promising summer jam, while further stand-out tracks include the dub-heavy ‘Bike Rider’, which combines a driving bassline, hypnotic percussive patterns and distinctive vocals from French dubber Pupajim for a compelling urban feel.

Meanwhile, fifth track ‘Thousand Style’ effortlessly samples the Beverley Hills Cop theme with grizzly vocals from dancehall talent Mr Williamz, an artist whose credentials include a feature spot on electronic giants Major Lazer’s track‘Smooth Sailing’.

Boasting the fat, clean productions we’ve come to expect from the Hi-Fi crew, the record simultaneously hosts vocal talent by the ton, with reggae heavyweights Peter Metro and Cornel Campbell, who lends his trademark falsetto vocals to the final track on the album, ‘Jah Say Love’, rubbing shoulders with Mungo’s regulars Mr Williamz, Soom T, Charlie P, YT, Marina P, Solo Banton and Parly B. Other special guest appearances include Blackout JA, Speng Bond, and Warrior Queen.

This third double LP arrives hot on the heels of their massive collaborations with Major Lazer and Brighton production heavyweight Prince Fatty, the latter of which received rave reviews from Mojo and Clash:

“A perfect encapsulation of the creative camaraderie running through British reggae right now, the sheer diversity of style on show is breathtaking” Robin Murray, Clash

What’s more, their numerous globe-trotting live shows have included memorable festival appearances at the likes ofGlastonbury, Womad and Outlook, to which they’ll make a welcome return this year.

Having developed a name for themselves flexing their soundsystem talents across the arenas of reggae, dub and dancehall, this latest album sees Mungo’s Hi-Fi up their game, proving once again that it’s not about the volume – it’s all about the vibes.

We’re honoured to have DJ Sole Mate, hailing from Utrecht, do an exclusive podcast for us!

100% Bang ‘n Mash style with fresh tunage and lost of funk. This mix is BBQ-friendly and comes with a hot drop guarantee.

So listen and enjoy!

This weeks classic Throw Back mix is from none other than the Plump DJ’s. Now I was going to post the awesome Elastic Breaks mix they did for Mixmag but I’m sure everyone has heard that a million times (quite rightly so). I wanted to dig a little deeper and this mix was one of two I found that I feel show the duo at their best. Throwing down classic Plump material alongside lesser known bootlegs, garage, break-step, tearout and house they meld all the different flavours of breakbeat into an hour long mix of titanic proportions. This is one that needs to be played at high volume!

Check out their latest release below. Paul Oakenfold – Ready Steady Go (Plump DJs 303Bass Mix) is out now and available to buy HERE.

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is back with the second installment of the compilation EPs Bring Back The Funk. Once again a strong collection of fresh jams from some new names in the scene as well as some well-established ones. All tunes has common deep roots in the raw sound of the funk from back in the days – all the way from the oldskool original funk to the bassy spectrum of ghetto funk.

BBP is proud to finally welcome the nu funk spectacular and good friend of the label: Funktomas with the raw ghetto funk banger Let Me Clear My Throat. Funktomas has numerous vinyl releases under his belt from big labels like Wack, Sunset Soul, Resense & Grood Groove.

The EP also introduces other new names on the label like J-Sound, who is best known from his ghetto funk releases on Scour Records. J-Sound is taking it back to the oldskool on his smooth ghetto funk joint On and On.

Furthermore the EP introduces a brand new upcoming ghetto funk act: Phibes who is dropping the funky debut jam Heartache Is Dangerous, which mashes up some classic soul grooves with some undeniably funky beats. Phibes has a 4-track solo EP in the making to drop over the summer right here on BBP.

Conte Crux is back to Swipe The Funk on Vol. 2 of the Bring Back The Funk series – just like he did it on vol. 1 with his Turn It Up track.

Finally the funky producer duo Ad’N’Kuts joins the BBP family with their uptempo disco banger Disco Bombs. Ad’N’Kuts consists of Aditup & Dastardly Kuts, who are already well-established names in the nu funk/ghetto funk scene.

Last but not least Mr. Bristow has cooked up an oldskool mashup joint to conclude the EP and make sure we are brought way back to the world of funk. Mr. Bristow is soon to release a full 4-track EP on BBP with his partner in crime MC Benny Silver.
