Ghetto Swing is a new compilation with a fresh take on one of the most exciting new genre 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.

Compiled by London based producer and DJ http://soundcloud.com/drcatmusic, the album is a groove-laden mix of the vintage samples and underground music. 

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

Drunk N Disorderly feat. MR FX (Playaz Cliq) - Out Now!

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 popped round C@ in the H@’s gaff for a bit of knees up with him and fellow '100% Animal' lover Mr. Switch (4x World DJ Champion) the other night, and soon discovered we'd landed in a veritable menagerie of extreme animalistic mentalness. The man himself is a cross between Dr Teeth from the muppets and Dr Doolittle from……the famous film. We parked up in his garage and were met by a Gnu in a Shoe sniffing glue; had our coats taken by an electric Pig in a Wig; went for a pee and were met by a Giraffe in a scarf in the Bath; had some dinner and found Gary Busey crouching in the sushi. The C@ was insistent on lounging in his studio in a pair of leopard skin speedos, whilst teaching a fox to box and a lynx to kill JarJar Binx - hooray! He soon booted us out for not having any fresh skills to teach to his animals, so we nabbed this massive little 'Sax Party' gem of theirs on our way out - rest assured, we can guarantee no animals were rhymed in any way!" - Fat Harry.

"Las Vegas" by SPEKRFREKS is a bouncy Swing Tech House track which captures the timeless allure of the city which never sleeps.

Las Vegas" is a dazzling ode to the city that marked the beginning of SPEKRFREKS journey into Dance Music. Written about their first gigs in the neon-lit heart of the desert, the song captures the duo's deep connection to Las Vegas—a place where one member even met the love of his life. 

Infused with the glamour of classic cars, old-school crooners, and the timeless allure of beautiful showgirls, the track channels the golden era of Vegas.  Featuring a sweeping big band orchestra, a fun bouncy bassline, and pumping house beats, "Las Vegas" brings the nostalgic vibes to life.

SPEKRFREKS (pronounced speaker freaks) come from San Francisco, CA. Musical collaborators since high school, this duo got their jump-start after being signed to remix Deadmau5 & Melleefresh and helping to pioneer a popular Electro House sound in 2010. A few years later they decided to combine their love of 1920s Swing Music with hard hitting House Music and Glitch Hop using live instruments mixed with synthesizers.

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.

Stick this track in your road trip playlist, it's time for a Thrill Ride!

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!

(Where Did You Get Those) Shoes? Duke Skellington Remix

Artist Name:	Duke Skellington
Release Title:	Devils, Dames & Debauchery
Release Date:	9th March 2020
Cat no:		RR023

"Duke Skellington" is an artist at the forefront of the global "Future Swing" music movement. His style is a synthesis developed from pioneering electronic music, dance-heavy big-band swing & hot jazz from the 1920’s and 1930’s, and lo-fi avant-garde soundscapes. The result is a unique experience of music that unites the past and future. Duke Skellington is the music producer behind the Vaude Villainz project, who reached #2 on the Beatport Glitch Hop chart in 2017 with their EP 'Voodoo Swing'.  Now the Duke is back, ready to lead the future swing movement, with his debut solo EP 'Devils, Dames & Debauchery' dropping on Ragtime Records.  The release expands on his signature vibe, fusing the classic sounds of yesteryear with no nonsense Bassline House and straight up funky Glitch Hop.

The opening track on the EP 'Name in Lights' sees the Duke reimagine the sounds of yesteryear with funky with psychedelic bass and robotic glitch beats all brought together with the sultry and haunting vocals of Kumiho. 'Hot Jazz' takes the listener down memory lane, with jazzy vintage textures and  moody basslines over a funky yet driving 4x4 beat.  'My Mind', another Glitch Hop banger, features the vocal talents of Alanna Lyes over some seriously bouncy bass and punchy drums.

From Los Angeles to London, Chicago to San Francisco, put on your sexiest ensemble and find Duke Skellington chopping it up on a dance floor near you. Let’s go swing cats!
