What is Electro Swing? Electro Swing Explained in 2 minutes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ค. 2018
- Hi there!
I'm (finally!) back with a new video explaining what is electro swing, a (sub-)genre that combines the influence of vintage (or modern) swing and jazz mixed with house, hip hop, and EDM.
Hopefully I made it clear, understandable but, above all, fun! :)
Enjoy!

Wait was this on 4/4!?
@@Jay-Tan Yeah, it is. Swing is a heck of a rhythm. Played in 4/4, by pairing each Ostinato with a follow-up Staccato.
I need sheets
I hope you understand it's your responsibility now to make this a full length song.

i like that your name is in there :D
not many replies....
yall dumb this comment was BEFORE dave wave made the full length song.
When the kick drum was introduced, that's when my head started bobbing and didn't stop till the end.
Also the piano solos were so good I can't even???
My whole body started bobbing harder and harder as he went on
this comment made me realize i was bobbing my head
For me it was the claps. I love claps.
I always start to bob my feet
Other: "hey, it's just for demonstration purpose, it doesn't need to be that good"
Dave: (creates an absolute banger)
"Now do You feel like Dancing?"
You have no idea-
I have no idea
We have no idea
we have no idea
still no idea...
sadly no idea yet
Electro swing or insane editing
I think yes
Both :)
@@fetendo8291 no, just yes
yes
yes
Where’s the insane editing?
He literally makes this look easy
@Daenerys Targaryen Well, playing and arranging are called differently for a reason ;)
SWEARS 😂😂💔
it's much harder than it looks
@@artymplex Idk if you have experience with music producing it’s one of the easier genres to make. I made two tracks of it called whirl and downbeat after seeing this video and o was surprised how fun it is to make, there on my yt
@@voidzminer1017 I just have no idea how to write swing. It's pretty easy once you got the melody. But Man it's tough comeing up with one. Probably becasuse I know jack shit about music theory
Electro swing was the very first genre I enjoyed when I was younger, so even though my tastes have changed it still has a place close to my heart
Are we the same person
Wait a damn minute... I Just found this video, after the song you made it into has been in my spotify playlist for almost half a year now =O ?
Link plz?
the song in the tutorial is based off Sim Gretina - A friend like me electro swing remix
I hate that this is so accurate. And it sounds so good.
Why hate it then~ Love it!!
Better than TH-cam rewind.
Anything is better than TH-cam rewind, so you're not saying much.
hawish V2 yes
@@standingpenguin7544 it really is
Yup. by the way it's my favourite style
Ik lol
After this video I finally understood why I like Electro Swing so much! It has horns the beat is on point and the vibe is right. The song you made there was a perfect example well done. You earned yourself another subscriber.
Btw you are a legend for still liking comments to this day! :)
Ohhh, I'm so excited to listen to more electro swing bands, can you recommend your favs? I heard only about caravan palace😢
I love swing and jazz (I do lindy hop...) as well as electronic music, but there is something very irritating to me in the combination. ElectroSwing takes the backbeat from Swing which destroys the whole vibe for me.
I see you are a person of culture, if you wanna try a new e.s. song, a song i do love is little swing by arron chuppa and lil sis nora
Gotta love how the break down doesn't compromise the song itself!
How is a pseudo how-to video about electro-swing also one of the best electro-swing tracks ever?
Jceggbert5 how the hell am I the first reply?
How the hell am I also the 3rd reply?
How the hell am I the fifth to reply!?
How the hell I'm sixth to reply?
How the hell am I the 7th to reply?
This makes it look so easy haha
Thank you very much! :)
Omg it's swing dj xefox!
It's not
Heeeeey xefox
Hey Xefox
A while ago, I fell in love with bendy and the ink machine songs, but never knew what genre they were, so when my friend asked me what kind of songs I like, I couldn't reply.
This video finally helps me understand!! Thank you soooo much!!
I hope I'm right by saying that most "bendy and the ink machine songs" are this genre, it sounds right though :)
Reminds me more of caravan palace
@@sunsetfox75 they are electro swing I believe
I like these kinds of songs too. Like Betty boop electro swing
I'm literally the opposite, I found bendy and the ink machine from the electro swing songs lol
I thought they were normal swing genre, not electro swing
it's been a few years, but i'm here to say I still love this genre. I got introduced to it via Caravan Palace in something like 2016 and still think it jams harder than almost anything else.
Why does caravan palace hit so hard compared to other electro swing songs
Yes and yes.
Been a few years? My first musical memories are Big Band and Gene Autry debuting Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer on radio, but here I am learning what Electro Swing is, or was, and enjoying it immensely. My favorite catch-up-with-the-young genre so far has been discovering Primus and other alt-rock from the 90s.
@@Hopeless_and_Forlorn it's great to hear about your musical journey. It's a wonderful frontier- keep exploring.
This genre is my life.
A real shame it took near literally my entire life to discover it.
It's not a genre It's a "subgenre" (an EDM subgenre)
Better late than never ;)
Live longer!
Well kinda, for me... I've discovered it 3 years ago! And I'm still swinging to the beat! 🕺🎶
@Isabella Van Ginkel your welcome! ;P
1:10 at this point i was like "ok nice, got it" and was about to click the video away when suddenly it said "wait". spooked me
He knew your attention span 😂
This video got me into a year long electro swing phase and i don't regret it a single tiny bit
Art deco has always been one of my favorite artstyles, but authentic old jazz and swing is often hit or miss due to the changing times and interests between nearly a century of musical and cultural development. It makes me so glad that electro swing kicked off, because done right, it's those dreamy bright lights of new man-made wonders, coupled with just that perfect little modern twist, combined all to make it settle perfectly with the modern generation of music and listeners. Good stuff.
Instructions unclear, head got stuck in drum machine.
is your head ok
Lucky you... Drum machines r so expensive these days :s
808?
Odd. The instructions were unclear for me too, but somehow I just made Norwegian Death Metal.
So well edited, and such great personality, even through just text and sound!
Thank you very much! :)
Hey LyricWulf
First
Heya' dream dog!
Don't forget icons... though I have no idea where these came from, my college quarter of Computer Graphics has made me forevermore appreciate icons.
I am writing an essay for music class right now and picked electro swing. The video might be short but it sure helped me out thanks.
I’ve come to love this genre over the past year, and will ABSOLUTELY create a few of my own
I want a full version of the final product
It has been done my friend: th-cam.com/video/xqW-Hfk0FN0/w-d-xo.html
Comic Sans h i.
Electro swing without piano must be weird
u mean like.... WEIRDMAGGEDEN
Sloth i like what said.... Wanna make a deal ✋
HahhaaahahaHAHAAAAHA!!!
NO! NOT THE DEMONIC DORITO!
C H A L L E N G E ?
@@urfork1 now you mention it, i'm on it
Dude I've loved electro swing for a while now. One of my favorites from the past was this one made for a character called Ponder themes
Electro swing God or editing like a God?
Dave: yeS
Electro swing will always be my cup of tea

electro swing, specifically the group caravan palace will forever be a top favourite for me. can’t get enough of this genre
Funny you mention Caravan Palace, as it's one of the bands that has pushed the boundaries of the genre a whole lot, they no longer rely on a formula.
@@maknirak agree. That band has done a mix in that genre, which is always good for the fans.
More than half my playlist is caravan palace
This is super helpful. Clearly showing every instrument used is so good if I wanted to make this myself, and I wish that this was done for more types of music. Because I’m super basic, I’d want one for lofi hip hop but I love this concept either way.
Edit: I just realized this was an entire series on your channel and I am now overjoyed.
Absolutely great :) had fun to watch this! Thanks
What's electric swing? It's life baby, life.
ali Servan electro swing > life
The most amazing thing about your electro swing tracks, especially when compared to other electro swing artists, is that you throw in your own piano riffs.
Originally this genre of music was a guilty pleasure of mine, but now I've finally truly fallen in love with it!
I need a video like this but for literally every sub genre in existence thank you very much
İnstructions unclear, can't stop listening. HELP
th-cam.com/video/yW0QKrvJPaU/w-d-xo.html
Fotten thank you dude.
Mustafa Taşkın instructions unclear, penis stuck in the song
Mine is currently jammed into the sound system of my living room the beat feels kinda nice but help.
Mustafa Taşkın Seni direk büyük i harfinden anladım :'D
never knew electro swing was a thing, thanks youtube algorithm, it's 1:03 am and i should be asleep but why would i when there's this quality content
it's 12.52 am and feel the same
@@6666shashank it doesmt really matter but its written like 00.52 just so you know in the future
@@daan9211 r/woshhhhh
@@gamerforlife9988 okey so even if he did it on purpose which he didnt, like what would be the joke
Like, "Haha I sAiD iT wRoNg🤡"
Or like haha if you put 12:52 am then its actually 00:52 pm, which is also dumb
@@daan9211 Ask the Artist of the Joke not me. Im an innocent man.
This is beyond brilliant and you are an absolute genius. Instantly subscribed.
All the very well made vids decomposing the components and building them up while explaining what's going in in a very clear and understandable way...
You've won yourself a new subscribeR!
Even though i love electro swing when there's an existing sample used, i like it even more when there's only or mostly original music composed by the creators.
you mean a remix?
@@loookhear4443 I think he meant the opposite, no samples from other songs
@@loookhear4443 like an actual original song, this one is like a remix/genre mix
As a fan of Electro Swing si appreciate this video. Very nice!
This is fabulous!!!! Look at what you done to this! It's a masterpiece!
This video is the definition of "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie."
Good work mate, keep it up! Swing needs to come back, and I'm happy if this is how it must start.
Try “Caravan Palace”… 😂
@@Jroobelucios I've heard many it their songs and you got a point haha, but this is a good funny way to show it. Caravan Palace definitely has good music
This is one of the most underrated channels ever. 26k subs and around 10k views per video is way too little for the quatity of the content and the effort that most certainly goes into producing it. I sincerely hope you gain more popularity. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you very much for your kind words! :) Definitely quality is something I really believe in. Hopefully the channel will grow and with it the possibility for me to create more high quality content :)...thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
true dat. imma smash that sub!
This comment convinced me to subscribe
Got my sub
ikr, the effort in this channel is almost as good as mine!
lol jk, this channel is so good
I don't know what half of that meant but my was it incredible
This is the most random video I've found you in yet...U R HUMAN
"I don't understand half the things" is not quite the best praise for an "explained" video...
(c" ತ,_ತ)
OMFG ITS REGIT
The spoon's short silly song:
Doki doki dahhh dahhh dah
dah dah dahdahdah da da
da da da da.Duhduhduhduh
duh da duh da da.
Get it now on itunes
And remember'
Spoons not shrooms
I wish I stumbled upon your channel sooner because this is so fun to learn.
As a trombone player, I really am quite delighted to see that you so generously included us in the video! Not many videos about swing include the trombones mostly I imagine, because they forget.
I would pay sweet money for a full version of that song
Very good. You make it look so easy, but of course it isn't easy to do well.
And interesting too that the 'Famous Artists' you mention almost always 'break' the mould and create original music beyond the formula some of the less succesfull artists follow. Anyway, enjoyed it. Thanks.
Would you like to know something absolutely mind-blowing? I read your comment, without reading your name, and was going to mention that Swingrowers does what you mentioned extremely well...then I read your name and nearly collapsed!
Swingrowers, taking the spot from Caravan Palace, is definitely my favourite electric swing band of them all! Others include Caravan Palace, 11 Acorn Lane, Electric Swing Circus, Paul J Borg, Jamie Berry, ProleteR to name a few! I bought Outsidein the night it was released!
Ishmael Simpson I think the whole community is here! Thanks for Swingrowers support. They definitely broke the mound with the new one.
Fancy to see you here freshly squeeze. I like your mixes
Thanks. Like i said, the whole community is here... its the new hang!
Love this style and fab summaries!
This vidéo is probably the most simple and useful I have seen in youtube !!
I want this as my ringtone
I would kill for a full version of this song, really well done video
OracleOzai Same :D
someone did their own remix long before
th-cam.com/video/yW0QKrvJPaU/w-d-xo.html
this is amazing! great job!
That break you do sounds and looks so awesome.
Electro Swing simplified:
*A R T*
Pretty much sums it up
Teenage Halloween Party
@McFlickers You havent heard brazillian funk and their lyrics...
@@cadaver4985 it it’s art in someone’s opinion
Wow, I'm obsessed with this song now. It's all I've been listening to for the last 24 hours! Love it!
Thank you for these videos!♥
This is very good! I'm super impressed! It sound really good.
me: sounds like aladdin never had a friend like me...
*friend like me plays*
me: WAWAWA OH MY WAWAWA NO NO
Elvis the Pelvis Omg u did get a like from the peep OMG u where not lying 😂
Holy shit it is so weird to see my own comment from a different device
sounds like booty swing from parov stellar kind of
One does not perform Electro Swing to a sitting audience.
ThatQaz Holy shit, a heart after 5 hours. That's quick.
Yup. Dancing around my kitchen fo sho!
What year was electro swing made
I was actually shitting while watching him perform so yeah... I am not standing #rebel
i’m sitting. I’M A HEATHEN!
I love electro swing. Perfect example you have given!
These are so fun and great. Thanks for this great material.
one word:
YES
Wow, You should really try explaining all or the major genres of music like this
Such a good example of "show, don't tell !"
It's also an excellent music for dancing !
Wonderful stuff... much appreciated!
This is such a under rated genre
You must be fucking stupid to think this is underrated. It's so fucking overrated. The sound is oversaturated to the point that every song sounds the same. The beats are simple and emotionless. There is zero fucking emotion in this. All music is music but not all music deserves the title. Electro swing is an example of that. Anyone who fucking cares relate this to the swing genre deserves ten bullets in each of their ears.
M M ya need a pad and a king size snickers?
@@sofiabravo1994 I need a fucking gun with two bullets in the chamber
No gun has two bullets in the chamber
Now hold up M M. Electro swing isn’t a overrated genre or a underrated genre either. Now I am a man of class after all my name is just a top hat but Your comment wasn’t classy at all. And your argument was full of bullet holes. First of all you attacked miniman. “You must be fucking stupid to think that Electro swing is a underrated genre.”- M M. Well that’s his opinion! And it’s YOUR opinion to say that electro swing sucks! Don’t you find that a teensy- wency bit Hypocritical?
That was epic.
Thank you very much! :)
Keep up the good work ! Will closely follow your channel from now on :)
yea and the genius voice gave an amazing touch with the beat
This is the perfect tutorial that i've been needing! (and scarily simple)
Excellent demonstration!!
Perfect balance between the "electro" and "swing" !!!
And in those two minutes you've just explained why i love electro swing, it has elements for jazz, funk and electro
RIP to gavin luke, the most used electro swing artist, but no one ever knows its him, utturly underrated
Damn that's the best 2-minute music lessons I've ever had, and one of the best in general.
Thanks!
This song was actually really good, you should re-upload it with visuals! :)
Found this genre a little while back, literally the only thing i listen to now. I stream ElectroSwing FM everywhere!
So good !!!! I like it !! Thanks for this video !!
Thank you so much... that was an outstanding explanation!
I was worried this was going be mocking Electro-swing but this is pretty spot on.
*The best genre of music in my opinion ;)*
Glitch Droid same
This
Agreed
I know right
Agreed
Great selection!
Thank you from a non-musician person who loves the types of music you explain! ❤️ 😊
I don't know why TH-cam recommend me this... I don't watch this type of videos...
But I really liked it! I'm actually scared of how much Google knows about me...
Im addicted to these kinds of explanation videos but stay on for hours due to the long videos, you're videos are short yet deliver the message clearer than any other ive seen so far and are short enough to keep my usage of internet balanced. In other words thank you for these vids m8, love what you're doing and appreciate ya, keep up the good (and did i forget to mention fIRE 🔥 ) work.
Brilliant work mate!
Really enjoyed this breakdown of my favorite genre
I didn't discover electro swing until just a few months ago and I already love it.
This is so accurate omg good job
Thank you very much! :)
That is just so amazing!!!! Thanks for this awesome video!
Love your content!! Helps music lovers like us to understand and feel the rhythm!! Can you please explain other genres the way you explained this and Reggaeton?? Keep up the good work!!
I usually enjoy electro swing and old big band stuff-- great way to visualize the style for people not familiar, I'm definitely going to check out your other stuff.
Thank you very much! :)
This Piano Riff is so amazing I Need a Tutorial ;)
Super LK Yes
Same I need it
This sounds like something that would be used in MIckey's Mix Magic Fireworks. Good job!
This genre is totally part of my new groove... and I love it so much
Some old classmates used to make fun of me for liking this. Someone actually called it "old, nerdy music"?? Very original.
I wanted to play this before the end of our last year together, but honestly, it would've only turned out well in my head. So instead, I gave them the link before leaving our group chat. I hope I at least changed their opinions on this genre!
Tell them trap is shit.
Trap is hihat with a compressor and a bass line... + autotune with all the settings messed up. Et voila! It's true. Absolutely. Try yourself, take a sample of someone screaming and make what I said with Ableton/Cubase/FL. And remember to forget about Mastering. We need the worst equalized track ever.
what is “old nerdy music”?
like 80s pop?
Trio LOL Gamers Who pissed you off?
O yeah ELECTRO swing
Trap is totally not a part of ELECTRO RIGHT?
It's amazing to me that you can somehow explain why I love this genre of music when not even I knew exactly why I loved it
This seems like a lot of fun.... thanks for uploading
