Round The West

Electro swing royalty, Odd Chap returns with a brand new single taken from his upcoming Collaborations album! The diverse talents of the New Zealand-based multi-instrumentalist have in recent times, created a multitude of huge international dance floor tunes that have been winning fans from all over the globe.

Enjoy this bonus track!

Collaborations

The Little Man Who Wasn't There

Listen here

Odd Chap - The Little Man Who Wasn't There (Bonus Track)

ELECTRO SWING producer ODD CHAP has been joined by a series of distinctive vocalists building towards his full COLLABORATIONS album dropping next... Out now here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/collaborations

Here ASHLEY SLATER (Freakpower/Fatboy Slim/Loose Tubes) lends his unmistakable tenor voice (and trombone) to this slower tempo burner. Sounding like a modern take on vintage R&B (like an Oscar Brown Junior 'call and response') this is all the better for being darker and grittier than is often the case in the genre.

Come On!

Odd Chap, Ashley Slater - Come On!

Massive collaboration between #electroswing royalty - LOREDANA GRIMAUDO (former vocalist and co-founder of the SWINGROWERS) joins producer ODD CHAP for a one-off single ahead of his forthcoming full-length collaborations album. Pre-save the album and get OUR GAME IS OVER instantly! https://idol-io.ffm.to/collaborations 

As ever, LOREDANA brings melodic sophistication and a song that rewards repeat listens while ODD CHAP lends exceptional studio skills from the production chair. They are joined by special guest CIRO PUSATERI (also ex- Swingrowers) on SAXOPHONE and together create magic. A beautiful banger that is both immediate on the dance floor but deeply rewarding for armchair and headphone listeners with an enigmatic lyric (below) and unique atmosphere.

Add to this the video, made in Sicily, that combines a beautiful modern aesthetic with a typically committed method performance from LOREDANA and you have something we are sure will be enjoyed by fans, new and old... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqz5G6elpRA

ELECTRO SWING collaborations don't come much hotter than this. Taken from his upcoming album COLLABORATIONS, here is TAKE THE NIGHT
Out now here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/collaborations

Without doubt one of the scene's finest up and coming producers, ODD CHAP has released an exemplary series of singles on Freshly Squeezed building towards his guest-filled debut album. OCTAVIA ROSE is the co-creator and vocalist behind the biggest hits by JAMIE BERRY, many racking up streams in the 10's of millions. Now they join forces on a one-off single that adds OCTAVIA's pure-sounding and highly relatable voice to ODD CHAP's huge-sounding production. TAKE THE NIGHT builds from its quiet intro to a future night-on-the-town anthem that ingeniously also weaves a little DISCO HOUSE magic into the mix. Try sitting still to this!

Highway Romance

Odd Chap, Alanna Lyes - Highway Romance

He's back! ODD CHAP returns to Freshly Squeezed with the second single building to his full album of collaborations. French #electroswing legends LYRE LE TEMPS join him to deliver another masterclass in the genre. Out now here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/collaborations

As Odd Chap said: "Right before I even started making electro swing I was listening to Lyre Le Temps (in particular "Looking Like This" which i stumbled across on Funky Pandas channel) which helped hook me into the electro swing genre and showed me how you could blend electro swing with all these different styles. This was early/mid 2015. Fast forward to 2016 and they drop their Prohibition Swing single and album and it completely blew me away, I listened to it soooo much, especially during the time when i was helping to work on Offbeat's album (poor Offbeat is still probably sick of that album i played it so much haha). But I absolutely love their sound."

(Hey, Brother) What Have You Done?

Odd Chap, Lyre Le Temps - (Hey, Brother) What Have You Done?

OUT NOW and topping all the playlists because #electroswing collaborations don't come much hotter than this! Singer and pianist LITTLE VIOLET released her album-charting debut earlier this year to much acclaim. ODD CHAP is probably the best up-coming producer on the scene smashing out credible bangers like no one else. Together they have written a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that references PEAKY BLINDERS and represents the first in a series of super-exciting new collaborations that will form the debut ODD CHAP album on Freshly Squeezed coming in 2022. "It's-a-gettin' crazy out there!". Out now here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/collaborations

We collected some of our favourite clips from PEAKY BLINDERS *, put them through a blender and served them up with a soundtrack of the new collaborative single from ODD CHAP and LITTLE VIOLET. We sincerely hope you like it. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hVxZYAT5cg
