Electric Swing Circus - The Electric Swing Circus LP (minimix)

90s High School student Duke listened to tape cassettes of Speed Garage on his walkman.  His eyes were nearly closed, his limbs struggling to remain still, his lips beatboxing along quietly to the bassline. 

During a class experiment taking apart electronics, he brought his grandfather's old AM radio.  Unbeknownst to the Duke, this radio altho looking nothing more than an antique, had been forever transformed from the fallout of radiation from an atom bomb detonation in 1945.  As Duke plugged in the radio, a freak accident occurred.  Suddenly there was a spine shattering crash and a blinding light. 1.21 jigowatts of electricity was unleashed causing a rift in the space-time continuum, and the young Duke was transported to a parallel world, one where the past, the present and the future were all merged.

Back from his journey, the Duke is ready to unleash his Future Swing Time Machine on our world.  Duke Skellington delivers on this one in true style, providing bass-heavy house drops fused with hip hop snippets and big brass stabs.

Stuck Up There is the latest instalment in The Fritz's exploration through  obscure jazz records and 1960s sci-fi. With a melancholy sample, the tune tells the story of a group of astronauts who are unable to get home after their  spaceship breaks down on the Moon.  
As the vocal sings 'misery, you've got to go', the astronauts look back at Earth  and lament that they'll never be able to describe the beauty of the view to  anyone back home.  
Coupled with Fritz's unique drum sound and crisp production, this latest  release form Ragtime Records is surely destined to get Stuck Up There after  you've played it through your headphones. 

The Fritz 
Hailing from Falmouth, UK, The Fritz is known for his jazzy sample-based lo-fi  glitchy bangers. Always digging deep, his works give a nod to the Golden Era  of Hip Hop with a boom bap style and blend of vintage film noir samples.

We're very pleased to welcome Odd Chap back to the label with his remix of Thrill Ride.  The original 'Thrill Ride' produced by Tom ESC & featuring the beautiful vocals of Emma Lea switches between tasty guitar hooks, fun swing beats, brass licks, and what can only be described as lush monkey island vibes.  

In his remix, Odd Chap pays homage to the original, keeping to the same vibe, but with phatter chunkier beats and a heavier electronic bassline.  In the breakdown Odd Chap builds a lush soundscape with Emma's vocals, double bass and keys all beautifully tied together with a precise Hip Hop beat.  Once the drop hits however, it's time to get moving with phat double time drums, beefy electronic bass and big brass licks.

Summer Sun has a full brass section to give off the summer feel-good vibes, which switches between organic sections and chopped up sections, giving a juxtoposition of new and old, in a smart seamless way that sometimes makes it hard to tell what is electronic and what is analogue.  All the while Emma's vocals bring you back in time with nostalgic sun-drenched lines that everyone can relate to.

Ragtime Records proudly presents RR087, the first in a series of official remixes of the legendary Harlem Hamfats.  Kicking off this exciting journey is the Extra Medium Remix of “When The Sun Goes Down In Harlem”.

Harlem Hamfats, formed in 1936, were known for their own brand of dirty blues and very danceable music, which blended Blues, Dixieland, and Jazz Swing.  In 2025 they get an official remix from Extra Medium which is also very suitable for the dancefloors of today, and is equally dirty as the original material, but this time it's the bassline which provides the dirt.

Extra Medium takes the original classical and flips it into a hot hot DnB/Dubwise number. With a tight skanking dubwise guitar, clean drums, and chest rattling 808s and reese basslines, this remix is a celebration of past & present.  Taking the brass stabds and vocals hooks from the original, Extra Medium breathes new life into this Harlem Hamfats classic, ready for any DnB dancefloor.

When The Sun Goes Down In Harlem (Extra Medium Remix)

Birmingham’s 12-piece rock-and-brass powerhouse Big Band of Boom return with “Earthquake”, a colossal new single lifted from their forthcoming album. Out 10 September 2025, the track captures the band’s trademark collision of heavy guitars and horn-driven firepower in three and a half explosive minutes.

With thunderous riffs, punchy horn lines and a chorus built for festival fields, “Earthquake” threads together vivid tectonic imagery - aftershocks, fault lines, foundations failing—with a swaggering femme-fatale narrative. The result is a visceral anthem that feels like the floor shifting beneath your feet.

“‘Earthquake’ is about that moment when chemistry hits like a plate-shift. It’s visceral, a little dangerous and impossible to ignore, so we made a tune that feels like the floor moving under your feet,” the band explain.

The single follows May’s double A‑side “Energy Vampire / Anxiety Universe”, which showcased the band’s tongue‑in‑cheek bite and widescreen brass‑rock aesthetic.  Growing momentum saw the band's original release "Big Bad Voodoo" aired on BBC6 Music this summer.

Seasoned party rockers Father Funk & Bear Twists deliver their first EP under their new alias Tuxedo Junction - serving up a stiff cocktail of Swing, Jazz and Bass, tailor made for the dancefloor. 

“Swing, Shaken Not Stirred” does just what it says on the tin, shaking up the Electro Swing sound by combining elements of Electro, Glitch Hop, Drum & Bass and Garage with the sultry sounds of Swing and Jazz.

Featuring collaborations with swing veterans C@ in the H@ and Captain Flatcap, and already receiving support from heavyweights such as Stickybuds, Defunk and WBBL, Tuxedo Junctions debut EP is set to cause quite the stir (or should I say shake) this summer.

Digging the swing vibes, good production and fat bass, nice job guys. Stickybuds 

Super fresh very interesting and banging Basement Freaks 

Every other swing producer should be shaking in their tiny swing pants after hearing tuxedo junction. Next level on every level WBBL 

Bumpin party music with that sweet tang of swing and jazz music. Fun for all kinds of music lovers. Love the variety of beats! Defunk 

Unearthing Father Funk’s new EP is like discovering the missing link between the festival dance floor of today and the smokey late night jazz clubs of yesteryear. Niiiice! Nick Hollywood
