I’m not the only one, my housemate goes on long rants about how swing was a way for the downtrodden and minorities of its time to have a voice that would be heard and has persisted, and how electroswing is taking away that voice, and stealing bits of the aesthetic so white middle class people can dance to it and know nothing about its roots
I don’t actually dislike it politically in this manner, I just don’t like the fact it is 4-4 and housey 😉
I’d say if you want to hear a really good electronic reworking of jazz/blues/swing samples you should check out Long Arm, a real master at resampling
