I wasn't all that into electroswing until I heard Yourenigma's "Remember how (we met in Fillydelphia)"

Hmm. Not entirely sure if Electric Slide would count to be honest. First time hearing of the genre. Will check it out.

 

If you want some sweet sweet dance moves to go with the music, feel free to check out takeSomeCrime.

I came into this topic like "Nah, most likely not." I only very sparingly like any electronic music, and the taking of a very old genre and turning it into something electronic when it already had a fantastic instrumentation just makes me sad. Just my personal opinion.

But then I listened to that song the OP posted and... I don't understand what about that song is "swing"? Electroswing must have an entirely different definition from what I assumed.

I haven't heard of that type of music before, but it sounds cool!

Been listening to Swingrowers a lot at work.

Oh, and can't forget Caravan Palace either!

Each to their own, love.

Electro Swing is a genre taking vintage or modern Swing or Jazz and mix it with EDM, House or Hip hop. It's to make Jazz/Swing more modern but still retain that dance floor-esque feel to it.

Oh, and got plenty of people dancing to the genre, too.

This was the first electro swing track I ever listened to. I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I listen to a bit of it.

Now this is a thread for me! I quickly checked to see if one already existed because if not I was right about to make one 
Absolutely love Electroswing and glad to see some of my favourites already mentioned!

Let me be the first to mention a trilogy of lovely FIM inspired tracks

Another one 

 

[Iforgotmybrain 5,357]

I wouldn't consider myself an electro swing fan but I do have this one song in my favorites playlists. Don't remember how I came across it but it sounded really catchy at the time

.

[Starlight Serenade 2,942]

I'm working on a paper and found that there's a new song that just premiered mins ago:

Glenn Gatsby - Lovefool (Electro Swing Mix)

 

Also here's another fun song:

Balduin & Wolfgang Lohr feat. J Fitz - Magic Man

 

One more for the road:

The Soulmate Project & Wolfgang Lohr - Ein Tag wie Gold (Electric Swing Mix)

 

 

Okay I lied, here's another one that came to mind! It's arguably the most catchy one out of these songs:

Peggy Suave - Posin'

A slight departure for now will be a pair of great Bendy and the ink Machine fan songs 
 

 

I should really give these games a try 

[Starlight Serenade 2,942]

Found a really fun catchy Japanese Electro Swing song and music video!

Ambiguous/ Hellzapoppin' (music by Tare) :

Ooooh these sound fun and same I kind of want to try them now

[Starlight Serenade 2,942]

Found this fun and catchy tune that will make you want to dance:

Swing'it - I Wanna Swing

I've known this one a little while and think it best to share 

 

[Snow 6,938]

I'll keep holding the torch if need be  another fantastic song.

There was a time when electro swing was still the freshest style around and I thought it would dominate music for a while (this was before I got super engrained into drum and bass) but it got overshadowed heavily by future bass. It felt very fun but also wasn't super aggressive like brostep or big room.

I wonder if there's a "dark" electro swing thing happening. That'd be super interesting since this specific genre is super happy in tone. It'd be like dubstep coming out as a darker reaction to the happy UK garage stuff that was coming out around late 90s - early 2000s.

Anyways, loved Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar and Electric Swing Circus back then! I have no idea about what's around now. I lost touch with it around 2014 or 2015, but I'm gonna save some of these newer ones for later. to listen at low volume for... reasons
