I should start with a bit of a welcome to you kind folks who have shown up here! It is after all you guys that stick about that will make this place the part of the community I hope it to be! So first up send in your tracks your mixes and all sorts! And in return you can expect allsorts form us here! Planned for the near future we have interviews, exclusive mixes and free track downloads. Also check out my shop to the right where I've started compiling all the electro swing essentials in one place! so no more random browsing to find something new and interesting!
I've been gone almost two weeks burrowing my way through the warren that is the internet to get some tasty treats to start us all off!
First up we have Odjbox. He's already moving the genre in twisting new directions, moving from the sample full swing hop to a more electronic originality that takes the 20's kicking and screaming into the age of computer music production. Check out underbelly at his soundcloud - http://soundcloud.com/odjbox - for a perfect example of this!
Hes kindly sent me over two of his best Special Art and The Witching Hour! Enjoy!
