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.

Right let’s get into it. First up an exclusive from Dr Cat…

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.

Playing a major role on both the ‘Programmed V1.0’ and ‘Programmed V2.0’ EPs, it was only a matter of time before EastColors released a full single with Program. Naturally, he’s stepped up. And he’s done so with two prize-fighting productions.

‘Toys’ is a one-way ticket to the furthest boundaries of the cosmos. Warm pads purr while a frosty arpeggio twinkles and subtle guitar strums shimmer softly in the background. An ageless reminder of how delicate certain elements of D&B can be when conjured in the right hands, ‘Toys’ will instantly arrest your crowd’s imagination. Countering the dreaminess with raw bass drama, the beats and chubby subs ensure full weight and presence. Complete with a modest, memorable vocal refrain, it’s the perfect balance of elements.

‘Creeper’ sets a much darker agenda: Opening with oceanic synth washes, an unrelenting breakbeat looms ominously in the mix. Firing hi-hats take the lead before we’re plunged into a cavernous drop where layers of irresistible bass envelop us. What follows is an industrial strength roller of junglist proportions. Referencing the past to lock fully into the future, this is EastColors at his most chiselled and uncompromising.

Russia’s a hotbed for D&B talent right now, but few of its exports come close to EastColors in terms of creative skills and technical abilities. A crucial contributor to the label since its earliest incarnations: It’s time, once again, to get with the Program!
