RV Samplepacks – Electro Swing 2 £20

An often derided genre, but one that absolutely cleans up on the boutique festival circuit, Electro Swing is the sound of the big band era, but with a wobble.

If that’s your cup of tea, then you’ll be doing the Charleston liked a whizzed up Flapper to this little set.

You get vintage instruments meeting club-ready beats aplenty here, as swinging orchestra loops and wind-up gramophone riffs come thick and fast.

It’s all in good fun, and tastefully done. Plenty of warped basslines, root-tooty clarinets, and banging drum programming for your buck. If you dig the retro stylings of jazzy acts like Caravan Palace and Parov Stelar, then you’ll think this lot is also the bee’s knees. Roy Spencer loopmasters.com
