Whatever the genre, however new, obscure or leftfield it may be, we can rely on you guys to have it covered. Case in point: electro swing. Check this quartet out...

Electro Swing

We begin with one of the original and best electro swing playlists we've  ever received. Marco Heutink created this little beauty way back in December 2010, and included genre defining tracks by the likes of Mr. Scruff, Moloko, G-Swing, Gramophonedzie and more. 

Electro Swing - The Samples

Ever wondered where these electro swing producers get their samples from? Wonder no more – Steven Marshall has the answers. Check out the original hooks pilfered by Mr. Scruff, Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup, Gramophonedzie and many, many more. Great playlist, this one.

Im On Electro Swing

Jokke Samen is on electro swing. If you want to join him, you could do a lot worse than listen to this playlist – a consummate collection of tracks that features everyone from Parov Stealr and Artie Shaw, to Funky Fresh Few and Chinese Man. 

electro swing, swing hop, nouveau swing

Buffy Babish has got the many sub-genres of electro swing covered on this mixtape. To listen to this playlist in full, you'd be swinging for over 24 hours – that's over 240 tracks. Our advice: hit shuffle and turn it up tinnitus until you're all swung out.

Long live the mixtape!
