Electroswing

Description

Electroswing is a fusion genre that combines the influence of vintage swing and jazz music with modern electronic dance music. It typically features upbeat tempos, catchy brass and woodwind melodies, and the use of samples from classic swing recordings, all layered over electronic beats and basslines.

History

Electroswing emerged as part of a broader trend of retro music revival in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Artists began experimenting with blending the nostalgic sounds of swing and jazz from the 1920s to 1940s with contemporary electronic music production techniques. This genre gained popularity in Europe, particularly in France and the UK, where it became a staple in dance clubs and music festivals. The genre has continued to evolve, incorporating elements from other electronic styles and maintaining a lively, danceable energy.
