Gonna keep this short n sweer: This is some swingin wonky electro awesomeness. I love how you can't really work out how its all going to fit together for the first minute or so.

Red Nichols - Strike up the band (maratekatropical remix) by maratekatropical

PS. no idea what that image is all about. just the first one that caught my eye searching for 'wonky swing'

Just randomly come across these guys on soundcloud: Dungeons and Dj's... here's a few tunes I'm mostly loving:

Chopped up broken brass:

Atmospheric swingin dub steppa (with a space between dub and step :)

harlem swing anthem by Dungeons and Dj's

Groovy frenetic swing hopper:

It's been a while, but here's a new mixtape from me!
I got asked to do an electro-swing mix which was just swinging enough to bounce, but just electro enough not to scare off techno/trance kids... so here it is. Probably the most consistent mix in terms of genre and bpm I've recorded in years..!

Just come across this mix on the Hijack Bristol forum by someone called JE3Z-LUNCHBOX... It's a wicked selection of swinging balkan electronic craziness, loads of tunes I can't identify, good work sir... if you find your way here, any chance of a tracklisting??

Here's what he had to say about it:

Its good to see that more people are getting into the whole electro swing, gypsy beats scene.
Thought id make my contribution with a seriously phaaaaat mix of said awesomeness.

Am really loving the swing house sound at the moment, and this mix from Peter Bounce is doing good things to me... ranging from fun, bouncy and brassy to spacious and minimal...

Demo - Swing´in April 2010 by Peter Bounce

loads of ?s in the tracklisting which is just a tragedy, man i want those tunes! The tune from about 7-10 minutes has a cut up sample from Belleruche's version of Minor Swing, and one near the end is that Gramophondzie tune which has been doing the rounds (surely not a ? - methinks Peter may be being a little secretive), any advances on these??

So there's probably going to be a whole other dude posting on the blog soon - robbiefelixawesome (or maybe he wants a new name now), the original Untimely collaborator, the one guy who can regularly out-awesome me in terms of new / unexpected / crazy / and, well, untimely sounds... Which I'm excited about, as I think I get a bit too sucked into the whole Ghettotech (whatever that is) thing, which should only be a part of the whole Untimely thing (whatever that is).

Here's our original Untimely mix, back when the full Untimely Skank Sound System name was still in use... no fancy DJ tricks - in fact very little actual mixing at all per se - but this is one of my favourite mixes I've ever recorded. Tune after tune!

Untimely Skank Sound System - Summer 07 Mix

Tracklisting after the jump...

Merry Christmas y'all!

This is awesome:

Exciting times for music, my friends! Tomorrow Diablo Swing Orchestra's new album Sing Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious comes out and it's an absolute blinder... I've had it for a little while cos I'm so achingly cool and I would heartily recommend it, it's one of the most exciting albums I've ever heard. One minute it's neo-swing ala Lee-Press On & the Nails or Royal Crown Revue, one minute it's like Mikelangelo & the Black Sea Gentlemen, the next it descends into Shpongle-esque psychedelic Latin insanity, before heading into crazy Balkan drinking song territory. All with crazy operatic vocals and through a filter of serious, dynamic, early System of a Down- grade METAL!!
