Button Up Your Overcoat

C@ In The H@ & Duke Skellington - Button Up Your Overcoat

Electro swing artist Duke Skellington is breaking boundaries and bridging generations with his new
remix of the 1920s classic “Love (Your Magic Spell Is Everywhere).” Dropping February 7, 2025,
just in time for Valentine’s Day, the track is a spellbinding blend of vintage charm and modern
dancefloor energy—a love letter to timeless romance.
The original song, an enduring gem of the Jazz Age, captured the hearts of audiences in the 1920s
with its haunting melody and evocative lyrics. Duke Skellington’s remix revives the magic for a new
generation, infusing it with his signature electro swing style and a groovy tech-house bassline. The
result is a track that feels like an intimate waltz between eras.
“For me, music is the ultimate time machine,” says Duke Skellington. “When I discovered this song,
it felt like a treasure from a different world. I wanted to bring it back into the modern times—not just
as nostalgia, but as something alive and electric for today’s listeners. And what better way to
celebrate that timeless romance than so close to Valentine’s Day?”
Duke’s remix transforms the haunting melody into an irresistible anthem for lovers and dancers alike.
Swing-inspired brass and string elements weave through deep house grooves, creating a lush
soundscape that’s perfect for everything from candlelit evenings to packed dancefloors.
As a self-proclaimed “time-traveling DJ,” Duke Skellington is known for taking the glamour of bygone
eras and making it relevant to today’s music lovers. With this release, he not only celebrates the
romance of the past but also invites listeners to create new memories in the present.
Whether you’re a vintage music aficionado or just looking for a track to set the mood this Valentine’s
Day, Duke Skellington’s remix promises to cast a spell on listeners everywhere.

The Vaude Villainz, Kings of the Voodoo Swing, are the latest addition to the Ragtime Records family. Hailing from California, they are ready to put USA firmly on the map of Electro Swing.

It is rumoured the duo, consisting of Duke Skellington & Skyler Gilmore, conjure up their music using a series of long forgotten hoodoo practices, combining elements of the vintage swing sound together with pure unadulterated 21st century bass. Their debut release "Voodoo Swing" does just that, with a 4 track EP ranging in style from wonky glitch hop to straight up dancefloor-destroying bassline house.

"Life Goes to a Party" originally written by Benny Goodman and Harry James in the late 1930s was a dance floor favorite across the emerging U.S. swing scene. Hot Jazz inspired swing music was a raging cult, and with Goodman being the high priest.

House music and more specifically Bass House has emerged blending contemporary styles of grimey bass electronic music and hard house rhythms. As a portal between time was opened styles blend through Duke Skellington's bass house remix of the classic.  "Life Goes to a Party" has found it's feet in both worlds. Taking a little from the past, present and future "Life Goes to a Party" is here for the speakeasy rave kids, the steam punk time travelers, the house music hepcats, and everyone in between to provide a soundtrack to the prohibition rebellion, bootleg sound system emerging across the world.

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!
