Quick reminder that your Saturday night could be totally awesome if, and only if, you head down to Ripsnorter's Autumn Antics in Bristol.

Roll up Rippers for a jamboree of jive-tastic hip-jigglin' on The Terrace, bass-boomin' wonky glitch-bombs in The Cave & a supercharged barrel-blowin' beat-fest in The Tunnel.

The shenanigans continue over the road at The Old Fox til you actually want to go home, not a moment sooner.

To whet your appetite, first off you could do worse than check out my Electro Swing DJ Mix for Ripsnorter... then after that, there's a few tunes that have caught my attention lately after the jump...:

Zombie Disco Squad bouncing with brass & clarinet:

Manare combines swing & UK funky to totally rockin effect:

(you can buy Manare - Speakeasy at Juno)

DJ Badre (y'know, from Globalibre) with a more laid back, but slightly sinister, klezmer affair which I'm loving:

Be Cift E Telli by Dj Badre

Whitenoise with an electro-breaks-swing monster:

WhiteNoise - You ain't got that Swing (forthcoming on Broken Records UK) by WhiteNoise

I got plenty more up my sleeve for Saturday, it's gonna be EPICCCCCC!
