Congratulations Electro Swing Thing 200th Release

Electro Swing Thing 200th Release


Congratulations goes to Wolfgang Lohr and the gang over at Electro Swing Thing. The label just dropped their 200th release in their Electro Swing Thing singles series.
We entered the roaring 20s and it's been quite the roller coaster ride ever since. Political turmoil, years of lockdowns and the you know what. Electro Swing Thing gave a huge show of support to singers, musicians, dancers, videographers and writers throughout it all. The label not only releases swinging bangers, they've established an image of goodwill that is well known in the Electro Swing community and beyond.
From the first, Mr Jazzek's, "Alla Turca," to the 200th, DJ Weide and Bonny Bee's, "Circus." A big cheers to two hundred more.
Of the 200 releases in the series, 83 have made it to the iSwing Top 10. And a whopping 20 made it to Number 1. Scroll with me and let's take a look back at the Electro Swing Thing Number 1's that made life much more tolerable the last five years.
(Electro Swing Thing has more Number 1 titles and releases. I'm just focusing on the Electro Swing Thing singles Series.)

DJ Mibor/Wolfgang Lohr/Offbeat - Very Nice People

First up was the very nice song, "Very Nice People." A perfect blend of Pop, House, Rap and Disco. The production was infectious and Offbeat clever rap made the song a guilty pleasure. It spent two weeks on top of the chart at the beginning of Summer and went on to become the Number 1 song of the year.


September 22, 2019
Phos Toni - Swing Again

Phos Toni scored the chart topper, "Swing Again," in early Autumn. It was the perfect song for any Swing or Dance music playlist and carried us through until the Holiday music arrived.

September 29, 2019
Varrick Frost - Summer Breeze

Snatching the Number 1 from Phos Toni's, "Swing Again," was "Summer Breeze," by Varrick Frost. It was an easy breezy track and set the tone for saying goodbye to Summer.


October 10, 2019
Emma Clair/Jolyn/Alanna Lyes - Move Your Feet

The girl power was fierce in October of 2019 as Emma Clair brought the Electro Swing vibes to dance floors. Teaming with Jolyn and Alanna Lyes their hit, "Move Your Feet," easily moved its way to the summit.

November 24, 2019
The Swing Bot - Douce Overdose

The year still not complete, the Electro Swing Thing series scored another Number 1. The Swing Bot brought, "Douce Overdose," straight to the top. It was nice exposure for the DJ/Producer who's since become legendary in the scene. And if you haven't blasted his new album Art Disco on your speakers you're missing out.

December 1, 2019
Emma Clair - Time To Fly

Emma Clair needed no assistance on her next Number 1, "Time To Fly." The song ruled the chart for two weeks and it showed the world that Emma don't play when it comes to House music.
Emma Clair is currently tearing up the underground House music scene with her latest hit, "Techno Music." And to all of you club kids out there, all I have to say is, it's a banger.


February 2, 2020
Wolfang Lohr/Loredana Grimaudo - Golden Twenties

Wolfgang Lohr teamed with the then Swingrowers lead singer, Loredana Grimaudo, for an epic collaboration that kept everyone dancing for the tail end of Winter.

April 12, 2020
Mr Jazzek/Felipe Cespedes - Funiculi Funicula

The early era of lockdowns brought us the most beautiful voices singing out to the world behind locked doors from balconies, windows and roofs in Italy. And Mr Jazzek jumped on board and remixed, "Funiculi Funicula," by Felipe Cespedes. It flew to number 1.


June 7, 2020
Wolfgang Lohr/Nina Zeitlin - Saturday Night

While under quarantine orders, Electro Swing fans got a nice surprise Summer hit when Wolfgang Lohr snagged Nina Zeitlin on vocals for the remake of Whigfield's, "Saturday Night." It was like much needed medicine after months of strict worldwide guidelines.

August 16, 2020
Honky Crew/Dani Milano - Get Up

Another great pairing that Summer was, "Get Up," by Honky Crew and Dani Milano. They scored the 10th Number 1 in the series and made everyone get up off their tush and tear up some carpet.

January 10, 2021
Tony Wellin/Alessa Ray - Lockdown With Me

Probably the most charming of the songs on this list, Alessa Ray lent her vocals for the ballad, "Lockdown With Me." The pairing with Tony Wellin captured the feeling of longing to see just about anyone for attention after more than a year of lockdown restrictions.


March 14, 2021
Wolfgang Lohr/Ashley Slater - Keep On Smilin

Ashley Slater was next to top the chart from the Electro Swing Thing series. Wolfgang's pairing with Ashley on, "Keep On Smilin'," kept listeners cool, calm and smiling all Spring.

June 6, 2021
Odd Chap/Sonia Elisheva - On The Run

Odd Chap brought the energy with Summer banger, "On The Run." Sonia Elisheva clearly stepped out of her comfort zone with this tasty Summer treat. It was replaced with another Electro Swing Thing Number 1 the following week.

June 13, 2021
Szigeti Juli - Don't Stop

"Don't Stop," stole the Number 1 from, "On The Run," and became an instant classic. Hard to believe Szigeti Juli's, "Don't Stop," is nearly two years old already. The song is brewing with soul and sass and still has the sexiest piano riff on the planet. Also hard to believe there isn't a House mix of this gem.


August 1, 2021
Betty Booom/Slim Khezri/Hebbe Sisters - Billie Jean

DJ/Producer Betty Booom teamed with Slim Khezri and The Hebbe Sisters for the Michael Jackson remake, "Billie Jean." It was an instant hit and worthy of its Number 1 crown.

August 8, 2021
DJ Mibor - Mad Swing

DJ Mibor needed no help reaching the summit with, "Mad Swing." The song filled dance floors all Summer.
The DJ/Producer has become one of the go to people if you need a song to become a definite hit.
His new album, Electro Swing Sound System, also just reached Number on the iSwing album chart.

July 10, 2022
Wolfgang Lohr/Sonia Elisheva - Someone New

After four Number 1's in the Summer of '21, the Electro Swing Thing series had to wait almost a year for the next chart topper. Wolfgang Lohr teamed with Sonia Elisheva and spent one week on top of the chart that Summer with, "Someone New."

December 11, 2022
Madam Misfit - Skin Your In

Madam Misfit dropped her latest album, Pandora's Box, and it produced the Number 1, "Skin Your In." The fun and quirky hit slid its way to Number 1 quite easily.
Madam Misfit is the queen of photo shoots and drops some pretty epic tour posters. She's currently touring promoting her album, Pandora's Box.


January 1, 2023
LVDS - Rum & Coke

More than two years of lockdown restrictions finally lifted, 2023 started off right. LVDS spent a whopping three weeks on top of the chart with the very high energy, "Rum & Coke." This was one banger that really quenched a thirst.

March 12, 2023
Wolfgang Lohr/Ashley Slater - Friend Like Me

And the most recent number 1, "Friend Like Me," a remake of the popular song from the Aladdin film, most recently topped the chart in March. Wolfgang Lohr teamed with his lucky charm, Ashley Slater, and they flew directly to Number 1 for two weeks.


Until the next time I have something to chat about, keep swinging for the stars.
