Because ES can be based on so many different styles of music and be played at many different tempos it mixes well with a whole range of other genres. Glitch hop, funk, rap, big band and latin house work particularly well but if you feel out the crowd you could drop a massive electro-house track, an acoustic rock number or something really leftfield. You could probably make anything work if you gave it enough thought. This encourages really creative DJing and means that the crowd can be genuinely surprised, which is much less likely to happen during a 2 hour long single genre set.
A lot of people have commented recently about how intellectual property law has become completely ridiculous. Some corporations (ahem ahem Disney) have tried to change copyright law to allow them to have perpetual rights to their properties. This is an insane approach as it completely shuts down some major creative avenues: homage, remixes, retellings all become potentially problematic legally. Fortunately they have not managed to extend this far enough back to affect a lot of swing, big band, jazz and other pre 1940s music. Maybe its just me who cares about making music completely legally (or rather without the chance that some gung ho record label will decide to try to sue over something that is clearly being used in a creatively altered fashion) but I really appreciate the sheer volume of source material freely available to use.
The four-piece band consisting of Juli, the singer, Apor, the drummer on a drum pad, Zoli, the guitarist, and Máté, the saxophonist was founded 1.5 years ago with the goal to make people happy with their work and make people dance to great music. The pulsating and unique combination of diverse instrumental and acoustic beats of their soundscape uplifts the spirit of the entire generation bringing out the true essence of their extraordinary artistry.
Electro-swing is sweeping Europe in a toe-tapping wave, leaving freshly minted fans in its wake. Rachel Agius meets the boys behind Electro-Swing Malta to talk about chance meetings, musical epiphanies and putting on a circus.
The popularity of electro-swing is taking Europe by storm, leaking out from London and France, where it originally took root, spreading to Germany and Italy and now to Malta. There are more plans in the pipeline too.
These are some big dreams for the trio, but their success so far certainly bodes well. Whatever the future holds, electro-swing is sure to delight and uplift its fans and The Chef, DJ Carbone and Dr Zicotron will be there to serve up the freshest tunes.

Shaman King features a battle among humans and their partners in the spirit realm, with the winner of the Shaman Fight gaining the titular royal title. Most of the spirits involved in the series are those of deceased humans, but strangely enough, these are supposedly weaker vessels in the series.
The environmental themes of Shaman King help to explain how agenda-driven humans might be spiritually weaker than those truly connected to nature. Here's a look at how the rebooted anime series subtly hints at why certain spirits and those that they fight alongside are tougher than others.
The first time that humans are insinuated as being weak spirits is when Yoh faces the Native American shaman Silva. Unlike Yoh and the others, who have the spirits of dead samurai, famous martial artists and other deceased human beings as their Over Souls, Silva has a totem full of spirit animals that work with him.
Silva and these animals mock Yoh for having a humanoid spirit partner, and they also see this as the reason why he initially can't quite master the idea of Mana. This is in spite of the fact that, again, most of the show's spirits are former humans, or at least humanoid. The show never explicitly states why humans make for weaker spirit partners, but a lot can be ascertained from the material to explain this concept.
Many of the spirits in the show are portrayed as typical ghosts -- restless spirits who, for one reason or another, cannot pass on to either Heaven or Hell. Many times, this is due to some unfinished business or even grudges held for hundreds of years, as is the case with former bandit Tokageroh. It's only after letting these connections and ambitions go that the spirit can pass on to one afterlife or the other. Thus, such agendas can be seen as an impediment to the spirit's potential, making them weaker in some ways simply for still having normal human personalities and desires.
Silva's animal totems, on the other hand, despite being talking animals, don't seem to have such desires and wants. They are, for all intents and purposes, only animals, and given that they're spirits, are now free of even basic biological needs. Without an afterlife to go to, they simply exist in a much more zen-like state of enlightenment -- although this doesn't keep them from sneering at seemingly less enlightened opponents such as Yoh.
This all ties into the franchise's themes of environmentalism and being in balanced harmony with nature. This is why the naturalistic sage Silva is able to teach these concepts to the laidback Yoh and wield them himself so easily, as he is all about living as one with nature and helping his surroundings. This can also be seen as the reason why Horohoro is such a strong opponent; he's driven not by materialism or lazy ambition, but instead by his desire to restore the land of his friends, the koropokkuru. Also of note is that Horohoro is Ainu (essentially the Native Americans of Japanese culture). Given all this, it makes sense that those least attached to the modern world -- namely, non-human spirits -- would be the ones with the most strength in the series.
In the early years of jazz and as it grew into more specific styles like swing and orchestral jazz, jazz composers and musicians played monumental roles in jazz history. Here are just a few of these legendary figures.
Welcome to The Correspondents' live show, and to electro-swing, a blossoming, micro-club-scene fusing the music of the 1920s to 1940s, (swing, jazz, big band) with electro, drum'n'bass, house, dubstep and even hip-hop. And this summer it's coming to a festival near you, having already become a word-of-mouth sensation at Glastonbury, Bestival, Big Chill and Secret Garden Party last year.
In club terms, electro-swing isn't as established as, say, burlesque, but in our socially networked age no scene remains hush-hush for long. It's already filtering into the mainstream. Last summer Gramophonedzie's show-stopping, Ibiza-house anthem "Why Don't You", sampling the husky 1940s jazz icon Peggy Lee, peaked at No 12 in the UK while Australians Yolanda Be Cool topped the charts in Britain, Denmark, Holland and Sweden, with "We Speak No Americano", a jaunty house hit built around 1940s Neapolitan jazz.
"There wasn't a premeditated idea to mix swing with current music. I've always been a huge fan of jazz and my journeys through sampling eventually took me back to swing and rhythm and blues", explains Mr Chuckles, The Correspondents' DJ/producer.
