The Big Payback

Swingadelicious

Jive Reloaded

Fizzy Far Niente

Bandit Town

A welcome and upbeat Electro Swing return on this collaboration between the prolific American producer Riff Kitten and Brit vocalist Alanna Lyes. The duo have an audible chemistry, sparking one another off on classics such as the memorable Catatonic (2020). Out niow: https://idol-io.ffm.to/jumpintoyou

Here the high energy vocal combines with a driving bass and drum groove, chorus hooks and trademark piano licks, all interspersed with call and response sax and trumpet making for a propulsive toe tapper.

What Should I Do

Stepping out with My Baby

A unique, prolific & consistent producer, THE SWING BOT has won huge respect in nearly 10 years & 30 odd releases on Freshly Squeezed for his hypnotic take on ELECTRO SWING. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/deluxeep1

Stylistically in a field of one... always quirky & leaning into dance music more than most, the French DJ has won huge respect for sticking to his guns.

The new 4 track EP stretches what is possible in the genre, with enough of his trademark sound to please the fans but enough unexpected twists to keep things interesting.

 "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

‘Give Me a Shout’ is a spine-tingling toe-tapper taken from Swing Sonix’s debut album, which dropped on October 31st. Out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/welcometothecircus

Watch the Official MV here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ZjQjGC9QM

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.

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...

Welcome to the Circus

Give Me a Shout

Swing Sonix - Give Me a Shout

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.
