Swing House Collection

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.

The Big Payback

C@ In The H@ - The Big Payback

Combining infectious vintage brass, pumping synth lines, and a powerful message of self-empowerment, I’m Not Your Puppet is a bold anthem for anyone ready to take control.

Emma Lea has teamed up with one of her favourite collaborators, Odd Chap, for a track which is set to light up playlists and festival stages alike. Already having been performed as part of her live show this summer, it's clear to see this is a crowd favourite.


The track brings together the best of Emma Lea and Odd Chap’s signature styles.  Emma’s enchanting vocal hooks weave seamlessly through Odd Chap’s driving house beats, building to massive, synth-driven drops that pump up the energy on every listen. With a message of standing up and saying “enough is enough,” I’m Not Your Puppet is as inspiring as it is danceable.


Emma Lea has been making big waves in the last few years with numerous tracks reaching Spotify editorial playlists, as well as launching a live show at festivals this summer with her band...  And with an absolute knack for writing catchy top lines and a beautiful enchanting voice it's easy to see why.  

Odd Chap Hailing from New Zealand, Odd Chap has been making huge waves since he rolled onto the Electro Swing scene in 2015, and with releases on Freshly Squeezed and Electro Swing Thing notching up millions of plays on Spotify, he has no plans on slowing down anytime soon.

Empires (C@ In The H@ Radio Edit)

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.

"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.
