The Week In Electro Swing

The Week In Electro Swing (4)

Swing Sisters Incoming.

Electro Swing super project, The Swing Sisters, have completed their kickstarter campaign and are dropping their album very soon. The album features contributions from Emma Clair, The Blush Fox Trio, Natalie Nightingale, Alanna Lyes, Tallulah Goodtimes and more. Anticipation for the album has been high since the project was announced last year. The Volume One album drops September 24*. (*Originally published as September 3 but confirmed with Emma Clair the date has been pushed back to September 24)


Mista Trick drops tribute single, "Shambala," ahead of his album drop next month. The single pays tribute to the festival of the same name and is a little more mellow than what we've heard from the album so far. Still a smooth satisfying track that goes down like fine whiskey.

Snippets of the new LVDS and Joyce Nuhill collaboration have leaked online and everyone is raving. Comparing it to Blu Cantrell's, "Hit Em Up Style," the club friendly new single is about to become a regular floor filler. The new single, "No Biz," is available this week and ready for boppin'.

Little Violet has been releasing behind the scene photos online of her purrrfectly fabulous new video shoot for upcoming single, "Code Red." The Electro Swing diva stars with a feline and her new looks are absolutely fierce. Can't wait for this to arrive.

What a surprise to see The Swing Bot return. The DJ/Producer blessed us with new single, "About You," this week and we like. It was especially a surprise because we hadn't heard from the mysterious mustache Producer in a couple of years. Welcome back Bot.


Lady Gaga announced a jazz and piano residency in Las Vegas. Artists are returning back to touring and scaling back on big flashy shows with lots of dancers and this should be ideal for the singer. Guests will most likely pop up and hopefully she'll jazz up some of her recent tracks.

The Week In Electro Swing

The Week In Electro Swing (3)

It Don't Mean A Thing Back At #1


The Hebbe Sisters are having a great month. They score their second #1 hit this month. The newly updated, "It Don't Mean A Thing (Electro Swing Mix)," featuring Wolfgang Lohr, rises to #1 in just its third week on the charts. The Hebbe Sisters also topped the chart at the beginning of the month with their swinging version of the Michael Jackson hit, "Billie Jean."


"It Don't Mean," was written by Duke Ellington back in the 1930's and has been covered by multiple artists over the years including The Mills Brothers, Tony Bennett, Nina Simone, Carmen McRae, The Muppets, Joe Jackson, Iggy Pop, Ella Fitzgerald and Lady Gaga.
For the prolific Wolfgang Lohr, his #1 hit from a year ago, "Make Swing Great Again," with Deladap and Melinda Stoika is featured in Season 2 of Netflix's Valeria. So be sure to listen for the hit next time your tv binging.
And expect a new song between Balduin and Wolfgang Lohr coming soon. Balduin announced the new collaboration on their social media, and yes, excitement and expectations are high.

Too Many Zooz take on Nirvana"s, "Smells Like Teen Spirit." The subway performing legends have broken out of the tunnels and onto the radio. These guys really rock the horns on this one. And ooh ooh that mullet.
They also sadly announced the cancellation of their upcoming tour dates so best wishes to the band.


Father Funk, one half of Tuxedo Junction, dropped new single, "I'm Back," this week and it's as funky as expected. I just might have to get out the old Jordan's and cardboard and bring back the classic break dancing moves.

If an album was suited to its title, Modal Projekt's new album Electronic Organic is perfectly named. The album is electronic, mystical, mesmerizing, organic, mysterious and made for heaven. Modal Projekt have mastered the art of breeding earworms on this one. You almost forget that it's kinda Jazzy to.

Dave Wave steps up his game and drops new single, "Dangerous." It's a catchy original tune so don't expect the usual campy and novelty remixes that Dave Wave is known for. It's a smokin' hot track and a welcome change of direction. Thanks Dave.


Happy 25th Anniversary to Jamiroquai's, "Virtual Insanity." The funky Pop hit made Jamiroquai an international name and horned hats cool again. It also introduced a new generation of fans to clubby jazz and R&B arrangements on Pop radio.

The Week In Electro Swing

The Week In Electro Swing (2)

Mista Trick Drops Drive Video!

Mista Trick is having a great year and proving Swing N Bass is a major sound in the Electro Swing game. With a recent #1 single, compilations, remixes, an EP with Riff Kitten and a new album arriving in weeks, the popular DJ/Producer is on everyone's lips in 2021.
Behind the scene for years, Mista Trick, is now front and center, exposing the harder, dirtier, party side of Electro Swing with his original beats and distinctive sound. And if this new collaboration, "Drive," with Elle & The Pocket Belles is any indication of how hot this album will be, I'll be skipping the shower and staying dirty.


Everyone's favourite Electro Swing address, 11 Acorn Lane, just dropped new single, "Giddy Gorilla." It's a fun sax heavy romp of a song and will inspire wild and crazy shenanigans.

Bart&Baker's latest album is touring Paris. Their latest Chic & Chill album is popping up in random locations across the city. bridges, bar fridges, statues and even hilariously posing with vegetables and herbs. You'll have to follow the Electro Swing duo on Instagram to see the brilliant photobombs promoting their latest album.


Balduin and Offbeat team for groovy new single, "I Need Sleep." The classic Balduin vibes and Offbeat's comedic rap was a great surprise collaboration this week.

Feder, Ofenbach and Dawty Music aren't in the Electro Swing scene but their dipping their toes in the pond. Exploiting the Electro Swing sound, and doing it beautifully, their club friendly hit, "Call Me Papi," just might be the Summer single that gives the world a lil' taste of the Electro Swing sound we love so much. The club hit sampling some pretty serious horns takes it to the next level of fabulous.


Crooner Tony Bennett just dropped his latest music video. This time he takes on Cole Porter's classic tune, "I Get A Kick Out Of You." He teams with Lady Gaga once again and their chemistry together shines.

The Week In Electro Swing

The Week In Electro Swing (1)

Postmodern Jukebox Are back!

The world is slowly opening up and artists are starting to tour again. Dutty Moonshine Big Band, High Step Society, Father Funk and Swingrowers are just a few of the artists in the scene leading the way back to normal with live shows.
Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox are also back. With a world tour just announced, clever new choreographed videos and your favourite Pop music reimagined, the roaring 20s band are finally returning. The tour opens in Motown (Detroit, Michigan) in early October.
New video for, "Roaring 20s," The Panic! At The Disco hit, is absolutely everything.


Electro Swing Thing Records just announced singer Joyce Nuhill has joined the team. "She came from the past to get you jazzed," and if I know the team at Electro Swing Thing Records the Swing Hop singer will be tearing up the dance floors by Summer's end.
Those in the know might remember Joyce's funky version of, "Mr. Sandman," from a couple years back. Can't wait for these new collaborations.


Michael Jackson's hit, "Billie Jean," returns to #1. The 80s hit reimagined by Betty Booom, Slim Khezri and The Hebbe Sisters tops the charts once again. This time for an Electro Swing audience.
The popular Pop song reached #1 for Michael Jackson back in 1983.
The Hebbe Sisters might just be looking at a second #1 in the near future. Their new version of, "It Don't Mean A Thing," with Wolfgang Lohr, is burning up kitchen dance floors everywhere and could reach the top of the charts by months end.
Work it sisters.


Varrick Frost we missed you. It's been quite a few months since we heard new music from Varrick. Thank goodness Varrick just dropped a new tune. "Rascal," is an upbeat bopper reminiscent of old school midways and carnivals. The type of song that grows on you while strapped into wobbly merry-go-rounds with friends.
Welcome back Varrick.

Lili Mizusaki dropped a new music video, "Over Soul." Featuring her friends and their fantastic finger choreography, it's easy to see why we love Lily.


Jamie Berry also snuck in new music this week. Teaming with Octavia Rose again, "Make Me Believe," is a prime example of when Swing mets Pop music. Absolutely delicious for Summer. You'll believe in Electro Swing after blasting this on the buds.

Grab your favourite friend, a bottle of wine and relax to some of your favourite Electro Swing  slowed down and smoothed out. Pheel Balliana, Landser, Antoine Villoutreix, Kitten On The Keys and Ashley Slater all lend a hand on Bart&Baker's latest chillout collection.
Chic & Chill is on Bart&Baker Music.
Bart&Baker debut at number 48 with, "The Swing Phenomenon," featuring Celine Arnaud.
Jumping to number 5 is DJ Mibor with his latest, "Mad Swing." It jumps 10 to 5.
International hit, "Bongo Cha Cha Cha," from The Goodboys climbs to 4.
Atom Smith, Miss Emmma, Burkey and Elliot Deutsch are at 3 with party banger, "Stolychnaya."
And Little Violet slips to number 2 with, "Taking You With Me," after spending a week on top.
This leaves room for new Number 1, "Billie Jean (Electro Swing Mix)," from Betty Boom, Slim Khezri and The Hebbe Sisters. A first time visit for each.
Betty Booom visited the Top 10 back in April covering the international hit, "Wellerman." And The Hebbe Sisters reached number 4 back in December with, "I've Got To Be A Rug Cutter."
