Electro-swing

Description

Electro-swing is a genre that combines the influence of vintage swing and jazz music with modern electronic dance music elements. It typically features upbeat tempos, brass and woodwind instruments, and a strong danceable rhythm, often incorporating samples from classic swing recordings.

History

Electro-swing emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as DJs and producers began experimenting with blending the sounds of the swing era with contemporary electronic music. The genre gained popularity in Europe, particularly in France and the UK, and has since developed a global following. It draws inspiration from the swing and jazz music of the 1920s to 1940s, revitalizing these sounds with modern production techniques and electronic beats.
