Electro Swing

A strange but surprisingly cool genre of electronic dance music originating in the 2000s that fuses elements of electro, techno, house, funk and hip hop with Dixieland jazz, swing and gypsy jazz from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace are a couple artists of notable interest.
