      What up peeps raaa

      So I was wondering since Electro and Ghetto-swing have been on the rise in popularity over the last few years, how many of you are actually acquainted with these genres? And what do you think of them?

      Personally I can’t get enough!

        I cant stand it myself, it’s like the worst bits of swing combined with the worst type of dance music…

        Each to their own though

          Really? I think you are literally the first person I’ve heard say they actively dislike it. As you mentioned you’re making an album what type of music do you produce?

            Funny too how I don’t really like much original swing/jive music, nor do I like much EDM. But mash them together and I’m obsessed lol.

              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

                Used to be fairly dubby and psychill kinda stuff, works in progress are leaning more towards glitch hop
