Small World Summer '23 Saturday night between bands

From Green Queen Music - Ghetto Swing, compiled by London based producer DJ Dr Cat, the album is a groove-laden mix of vintage samples and underground music. 

RELEASED:  2 SEPTEMBER 2013
Minimixed by: http://soundcloud.com/jonbongly

Ghetto Swing is a new compilation with a fresh take on one of the most exciting new genres of our era, Electro Swing. Whilst keeping to the tradition that meets 1940s and 1950s sampling with 21st century style clubbing, Ghetto Swing introduces the grit and grime of hip hop, reggae and dubstep.

http://soundcloud.com/drcatmusic is also co-founder of http://soundcloud.com/greenqueenmusic and long-standing figure in London’s underground electronic scene, so putting together something unusual and exciting is nothing new.

Expect a disc that is dance floor heavy, you’ll be dancing to big beats, donning top hats and bow ties, flapper dressers and rouge. Classy, but leaving a dance floor with no choice in the matter of getting hot 'n' sweaty, leaving all sense of decorum at the door.

Jon Bongly Rumpus 4 Feb 17

A studio mix I was making in July 2011 and somehow lost...

2.3.12: A promising start, it takes a while to find it's groove, and then loses it somewhat. Not one of my best, but hey, you never learn if you don't make mistakes ;-)

** edit ** 7 September 2021. Just listened again, and really didn't find anything to complain about! :)

You've been Django'd

Ladies, gents, mobsters and molls, dig out your flat caps, find that flapper dress you’ve been waiting to wear and head underground for THE St Patrick’s Day Party of 2018.

This is my set with the exception of the last track which I'm sure would have triggered SC's automatic warning system and disallowed the whole mix. Britney will be disappointed!
