Fort Knox Five are back at the helm of their ‘Funk The World‘ mix series, after letting Lack Jemmon and Trotter take over the previous two and it’s back to business as usual. The mix begin with smooth funky vibes but soon peps up with some equally funky chunky Midtempo Breaks. A touch of Vintage Swing and Disco is also added, just in case things wasn’t already funky enough for us. First class stuff as always from these guys and they’ve dropped it just in time so we can all enjoy it on a Sunday afternoon. Now that’s what you call good timing!

Happy summer!! The suns out and the music is sounding great. We’re back with another selection of the finest beats from within the vintage and swing worlds. Lots of free music to dive into, and some big new releases including the new Parov Stelar album. Dive on in!

Free Music Here’s some of the electro swing.com luminaries on a tasty remix of the Mary Poppins classic:

Tasty slice of house with a bluesy house courtesy of Neon Steve.

Bass heavy remix of Caro Emerald:

Rather like this. Remember how good the Fugees were before they all fell out and Lauryn Hill went a bit, ahem, crazy…? Well this is them over a swing tune:

Dutty Moonshine putting a bass heavy bounce to Satchmo’s trumpet and vocals:

Jenova Collective getting back to electro swing:

Shall we play yet more new genre naming games? Well, Balkan electro is how the Rumpsteppers describe this.

This is rather good. One to watch perhaps?

Glitchy and bluesy downtempo beats from Forrest Funk:

Mistatrick has been adding the d&b to these two favourites:

Sound Nomaden messing around with the perennial Star Wars favourite:

The ghetto funk heavyweights getting funky with some glitch n swing:

Retouch on the Glen Miller standard:

Valdragz mixing a deep techno beat with some old style bluesy vocal samples:

James Brown getting the glitchy bass treatment:

Deep, groovy with a classic french style lounge break:

New Releases Parov Stelar – The Demon Diaries It’s always a massive highlight in the electro-swing world when Parov Stelar releases a new album and this sounds as good as ever. It follows a similar template to we’re used to, with house tempo electro-swing, jazzy samples and even a few elements of disco. Check it out on the Youtube mix below and get it from Juno.

Dunkelbunt – Mountain Jumper Despite the fact Dunkelbunt isn’t particually known for his swing, his style of mixing blues, balkan, gypsy, klezmer and much more fits perfectly with a swing set and so he’s been a favourite for quite a long time. Here’s the sampler for the album which features a whole cacophony of different genres and feels:

Smokey Joe & The Kid – Smokid INC. EP Smokey Joe & the Kid are back with a smokey selection of swing hop and deep sultry beats. With three tracks featuring Blake Worrall on vocal duties he adds a level of sophistication and flow which suits their slick production style. Available from bandcamp. Here’s the lively Smokid INC:

Dimaa – Out Of Control Dimaa is releasing a new album on 14th of June which promises to mix a selection of swing, soul, funk, reggae and glitch hop. All his productions so far have been very strong and so it’s definitely worth checking out. Here’s a taster from it:

Jimi Needles – Jazz Trippin Jimi has added an old school jazzy feel to his latest release. Get it from Juno.

DJ Mixes Here’s Mortisville with his Swing n Bass stories:

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.

Swingamajig 2015 Well what can I say..? I know that we’ve kept banging on about it, but we can truly say that the bar has been raised. Swingamajig has come of age this year and was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere was stunning and the quality of acts was second to none. Congratulations to the Electric Swing Circus, C@ in the H@, and all the organisers who did such a fantastic job pulling this together. My own highlights? The Dutty Moonshine Big Band absolutely rocked, great to see Chinese Man bring their downtempo hip hop grooves, Elle & the Pocket Belles with Mistatrick, and of course getting to do my own Silverscreen Soundsytem VJ show. If you missed it this year, then put the date in your diary because there is no better festival to choose on the vintage circuit than this.

Right. Let’s hit the music.

Free Music Top of the class goes to another fantastic and free compilation from Speakeasy Electro Swing in Montreal. Who else gives you this much fresh new content for free? Well done guys. Dive on in and see what goodies you can find!

A modern classic getting tweaked by Phibes:

And your boy Phibes again getting funky with Caro:

Swing? Ghetto? Yep and yep. You know what’s coming…

It’s never a bad time to drop Etta James’ I Just Wanna Make Love to you and even more so with a new C@ in the H@ mashup version:

Deep, sexy and grooving jazzy beats from Frizzo. Very nice.

FOR THE REST OF THIS POST CLICK READ MORE…

C@ in the H@ adding some bounce to this one:

Vassili Gemini dropping a little bouncey swing-house groover:

I’m not sure how politically correct this is, but the track is bouncing and would fit in a drum & bass section quite nicely:

Nice little swing version of Britney:

JPOD extended the groove of this soul classic. Available from here.

More from JPOD. Don’t actually know how to describe this, just listen and see if it works for you…

Grant Lazlo with a jazzy swingy cover of Miles Davis classic:

Funky soul sounds from Odjbox:

Chinese Man getting got by Smokey Joe & dat kid. Download from here.

Son of a preacher man remix:

My Baby Don’t Care For Me Remix:

Electro blues from that man Mick:

New Releases Electro Swing Club – Vol.2 I mentioned this last month, but it’s only just come out and so I think it definitely deserves another shout. So many good artists on this, amongst others Father Funk, Elle & the Pocket Belles, Timothy Wisdom, Captain Flatcap, Budapest Burlesque and the After Hours Quintet.

DJ Dunya – The Road Is Long Fresh, fresh and freshly squeezed! DJ Dunya is rocking the electro-blues bass heavy groove with this tidy new release.

Charlie Beale – Breakin Down Blues EP Another bagful of bouncing electro-blues from the south of Englands very own New Orleans.

Yolanda  Be Cool – Soul Makossa (Money) Okay it’s more funk & soul than swing but I’m addicted to this at the moment from the guys behind We No Speak Americano. I can’t see when it wouldn’t be a good time to play this gem…

Sound Nomaden – Madame Remixes EP Plenty of good stuff on this too. Start off with the Johnny Lectro remix I reckon:

DJ Mixes Last up is Hooka sneaking in with another whistle stop journey through a whole bunch of big tunes from the swing world:

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 – May ’15
