Swing

Just wondering if anyone knows any decent examples of when swing and other latino influenced jazz breaks were used in dance? And I'm not talking about fucking doop

Just swing is my first love as far as music goes but never herda any decent fusions with dance (even though swing and latino rhythms are by far the most energetic and danceabel beats around).

Hip Hop are forever using swing breaks looks @ jurassic fives swing time but apart from the odd sample in a breaks set swing and dance never mix.

yeah was gonna say J5- Swing Set!! possibly the best J5 tune ever!!! Part from that DJ Shadow,Dr Rubberfunk and Hydrolic dogs all have simillar B sides in my record collection!! i also have a lot of Big band!! which is cool as fuck!

its all hip hop tho

defo j5's best tune...

What about Latino House ?? Onionz, Sneak, MAW??? dont realy know much about it?? u are rite though! its never used much is it??

latino house tends to use standard house beat patterns with latino instruments... swing/latino beat patterns as I'm sure u know are very different

u into much swing?

ive got a nice little vinyl me mate gave is cant remember name till i get home though, nice spanish guitar goin in the background and that, ill find out what it is after work.

Swing set is an amazing track. I've been looking for something similar since hearing it but never found it. I've got a CD that classes itself as swing but it isnt really, it's stuff like Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington, fucking good stuff but not what I'd call swing.

For swing infuenced house check G-swing and stuff by

Mike Dixon
Greenskeepers
DJ Rhythm

cheers thought one of u's would know.

cheekymonkey (wats ur real name anyhoo mate?) check:

Atomic Fireballs
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Squirel Nut Zippers
Brian Setzer Orchestra
Royal crown Review
The Mighty Blue Kings

Are all quality Retro Swing bands... Its the sort of energetic swing swing set uses... much more energetic than old style swing. My fav sawing tunes probably:

The Squirell Nut Zippers - Suits are picking up the bill

My name's Tom. I've heard of Brian Setzer Orchestra. Ain't heard of the rest. Are they retro in their sound or are they actually old? It's that energetic swing that I'm looking for. Top stuff. Cheers mate!

Just listening to Squirrel Nut Zippers. Sounds quite a lot like dixieland kinda stuff which is a fucking good thing. The only dixieland stuff I've really heard is by the Mad Caddies who mix dixieland jazz and punk on 1 of their albums

The Brian Setzer stuff sounds pretty cool as well. Stuff like Hoodoo Voodoo Doll is the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

its all new stuff.

not really into my old swing - it lacks the energy of the new stuff

try atomic fireballs they should be right up your street :d
brian setzer is quality - check stray cat strut and americano for 2 of his contrasting styles

Try this for size

Oh, spoke to soon, JJ72. What's going on? Where's the hip hop gone? Speakin of hip hop, I was wondering if u'd heard of Louis Slipperz, I mentioned im in the hip hop post earlier. He plays stuff like Phi Life Cypher and Skinnyman etc. Want me to send u a copy cos it's fuckin good.

never heard of him but would defo be interested

hrrrmmm he's just gone and played nas... he was playing quality hh honest

Why with these exotic outfits and likings for weird and wonderful music genres you truly bring a little culture to the board!

I'll never match you tho kiddo - u were listening to techno before most geordies had heard of hardcore and wearing fluffy boots when UVLee was still in a pram.

I will always be in ur shaddow o bald 1.
