Electro Swing

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 16th June 2025: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch574

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

City Cook

American ELECTRO SWING producer and classically trained composer drops his 4th FS album. Out now here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/chaosparade

CHAOS PARADE is both focus and title track with elements of classic swing, his trademark jazzy piano licks, deep bass, and vintage brass hooks.
The album includes all singles since 2022 plus 4 brand new tracks. What sets this apart is his exceptionally high-quality output, brilliant writing, refusal to be stereotyped by genre and commitment to musically evocative atmospheres. Probably his best album yet.

Rosco's Groove

Intended Immigration's cover of the classic "Sunny" is an infectiously happy electro-swing offering with a high-energy house beat showcasing a wonderfully jazzy female vocal surrounded by sweet saxophones, sassy trumpets, a chatty clarinet, a fierce banjo, a lively stride piano and hard-swinging drums. The track is full of entertaining surprises and features a drop with a catchy scat hook that will inevitably put a smile on your face as you skip and swing through bright and cheerful summer days.

Take You Right Back (Klischée Remix)

Little Violet, Jamie Berry - Take You Right Back (Klischée Remix)

[Verse 1]
Woke up with rain on the windowpane,
Heavy heart but I’m still in the game.
Mug in hand, mind in a spin,
But I take a breath and let the light in.

They say, “Chin up,” and I hear their voice,
In the noise, I make a quiet choice.
To keep calm, keep carryin’ on,
Even when the night’s feelin’ way too long.

⸻

[Chorus]
Keep calm and carry on,
Every cloud’s got a light that’s strong,
Chin up, love — you’re not alone,
Bob’s your uncle, you’ve found your home.

The sun will rise, just wait and see,
Good things come, eventually,
You’re smashing it, don’t live in doubt,
It’ll be all right — it all works out.

⸻

[Verse 2]
They laughed when I said I’d chase that dream,
Called me soft, said life ain’t what it seems.
But I’ve learned not to fold too soon,
Some flowers only bloom past June.

“You’re havin’ a laugh,” well maybe I am,
But I’d rather dance than stick to the plan.
“Don’t worry,” I say, “it’ll sort itself out,”
Got fire in my heart and a louder shout.

⸻

[Chorus – repeat]

⸻

[Bridge – Rap/Spoken Word style if pop-hip-hop version]
Yeah —
Took my knocks, wore the bruises like medals,
Turned breakdowns into new instrumentals.
No map, just the grit in my soul,
Each setback? Just part of the goal.

I’m not lost — I’m just finding the view,
Truth is, I’m stronger than I ever knew.
Say it loud — “It’ll be all right” —
’Cause I’ve got hope and I’ve got fight.

⸻

[Final Chorus – stripped down first half, then full beat returns]
Keep calm and carry on,
Every cloud’s got a light that’s strong,
Chin up, love — you’re not alone,
Bob’s your uncle, you’ve found your home.

(Full band)
The sun will rise, just wait and see,
Good things come, eventually,
You’re smashing it, don’t live in doubt,
It’ll be all right — it all works out.

It’ll Be All Right

Feel That Fire

Wolfgang Lohr, Dacha Dynamics & KimSka have dream teamed up for a heavyweight Balkan club banger: "Feel That Fire". This track blends tech-house grooves, technoid basslines, and hypnotic Balkan brass energy into a sound that’s as raw as it is danceable. 🕺🎷 With deep tuba drops, swirling violins, and fierce male vocals, "Feel That Fire" hits like a brass parade storming the underground. Equal parts bass weapon and Balkan celebration, this is pure 🔊🔥 for peak-time moments. Think late-night raves, sweaty dancefloors, and stomping rhythms echoing through the hills.💽 Out now on Electro Swing Thing

Is That Too Much To Ask (feat Nina Zeitlin)

Anything You Want (Not That)

Electro Swing newcomers The Swinghoppers join forces with veteran Wolfgang Lohr to plant their flag firmly in the next decade! "Party Like It's 1920" is a Swing House floor-filler, which aims to recreate the sights and sounds of the Roaring Twenties a century later.

Offbeat of the Swinghoppers says "The idea for the song came about after seeing all those memes saying “In X days it’ll be the 20s again, I propose we bring back swing music and jazz attire!”. It got us thinking "Someone's gotta do it - why not us!"

The pair had already worked together on another track “Very Nice People” so Wolfgang's production was an obvious choice for this track. He certainly delivered and the end result is a perfect mix of the fun and excitement that is synonymous with this infamous era.

"Party Like It's 1920" is being released through Wolfgang Lohr's very own label Electro Swing Thing and will be available to stream and download from 3rd of January. Expect this song to be a staple of every Gatsby-themed party for the next 10 years!
