They did it again! Continuing to surprise with fresh twists on ELECTRO SWING, here the London-based collective reinvent a well-loved post-war Italian classic by singer Fred Buscaglione. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/welcometothecircus

The guest vocalist (whose voice you may recognise as the singing pianist in season 2 of WHITE LOTUS) specialises in recreating this popular period of pop, while the production from the usual studio team of music pros preserves all the character and cheeky charm of the original but updates it with lively horn charts and a house beat. File alongside Tu Vuo' Fa' L'Americano or Louis Prima REMIXED.

Stepping out with My Baby

Brand new on the roster is Liverpudlian burlesque star turned Electro Swing singer. Her first single Entrée is out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/entree

Working with established producer Joe Rodwell (Mista Trick, Sonia Elisheva, Elle & The Pocket Belles) Daisy comes with an extensive social media network including 25k IG followers. She balances a cheeky wit with an easy going sexiness which - when we get to them - shine through in her lyrics and vocals.

Entrée, as the name suggests, is a teaser of a song (the intro to her live shows) that sets the stage with a dirty jazz brass riff and dubstep sub bass. Watch this space!

ODD CHAP joins JAMIE BERRY (who remixed 'Limits') to officially remix another of the LITTLE VIOLET tunes! Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/20x25

The retro-styled chanteuse and band, who stormed the ELECTRO SWING/VINTAGE POP scene back in 2012, returned with a string of new singles and an EP ‘SILENT MOVIE’ released with pioneering UK record label FRESHLY SQUEEZED. Now the title track from that EP gets a little added extra ODD CHAP swing magic.

Want Me Back

 "Dead and buried", sings Alanna as label mates collaborate on downtempo, Halloween-timed dark electro swing jazzer. More Peaky Blinders mood than Great Gatsby party. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/badblood

Violin is an oft overlooked sound in traditional vintage swing (think Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli) but is revived here as a featured solo instrument.

Combined with a bitter break-up lyric & Atom's distinctive electronic production, this is the perfect antidote to Halloween cliches elsewhere & will be played long after.


Bad Blood

Atom Smith, Alanna Lyes - Bad Blood

London based song-writer & producer collective SWING SONIX return with their debut long player. Just over a year since they exploded onto the ELECTRO SWING scene with a series of infectious and distinctively crafted singles featuring a rotating cast of singers and instrumentalists. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/welcometothecircus

The album itself includes all the swinging accordion, pop brass, and theatrical storytelling you'd expect. Brilliantly realised, impeccably polished and whimsical, with a Burtonesque flourish...

Harlequin Brassquake

Swing Sonix - Harlequin Brassquake

One-off electro swing cover version of the 80's hit by Adam & The Ants. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/goodytwoshoes

In-demand producer Atom Smith collaborates with the all-girl vintage swing 3 piece known mainly for their live performances at retro events in and around California.

What if the Andrews Sisters collaborated with Depeche Mode adding a slice of Count Basie Horns for good measure... the lyric of course is a sly reference to sex. Super catchy and staying just the right side of kitsch.

Liverpool burlesque star turned songstress drops ELECTRO SWING bomb of a third single. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/giveyourheadawobble

Having rapidly gained the attention of the genre with her scene-setting, attention-getting first releases, it's time to unveil the track we've been building to. Combining her cheeky vocal wit with a brass heavy cut from established producer Joe Rodwell, this is a sure-fire hit.

It comes with a full production video starring Daisy released on the Freshly Squeezed YouTube. A new star is born!

Give Your Head a Wobble

Daisy DeVell - Give Your Head a Wobble

Newly signed to Freshly Squeezed, this is a solo project from France. Combining Electro Swing elements with Balkan Beats, Daniel is an accomplished gypsy jazz guitarist who builds tracks with an Akai MPC - the classic piece of sampling kit behind so much old school hip-hop. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/dragamea

From a background in dance music production, via a fully live traditional Balkan band to this project: the melting pot of traditional & contemporary here very much aligns with the label ethos.
