Whilst I'm busy spending my time searching the net for new music I thought I would bring you something to pour your time over! White Mink:Black Cotton has been called "Electro-Swing's first landmark moment" by Mixmag and its easy to see why. Such a landmark moment is therefore a great place to start this blog's
Electro-Swing adventures!

The album put together by Nick Holywood of Freshly Squeezed fame (along with El Nino and Lady Kamikaze of London's fine Black Cotton and Lady Luck clubs) exists in the form of a seamless juxtaposition between long forgotten classics of the original era and the contemporary movement they've inspired.
It really acts as a who's who of the genre which makes it a great introduction for all those who've had the slice of a few tracks and want a bigger piece of the pie. Strasbourg's Lyre Le Temps present us with a House inspired Hold The Night that really makes the collection if I have to pick favourites. The more hip hop influenced tracks are also in show with an excellent take on the genre from Energie Du Verre with Jitterbug that really reinvents things.
If your out and about in the UK you can look out for several festival appearances coming up at Bestival and
Big Chill. You can also check out Electro Swing every third Saturday of the month at The Book Club in Shoreditch and White Mink will be every third Friday of the month in Brighton from September.
