Summary
Discothèque Decadence Soundsystem presents: To The Manor Born: Swing House Nu Disco Party DD024 A tribute to the golden age of swing and jazz, from the roaring energy of the 1920s through to the big band brilliance of the 1930s and 1940s, reimagined with a modern nu disco, electro swing and house twist. This mix is also a tip of the top hat to one of the most unique and legendary nights in Durham, UK, reborn through the Discothèque Decadence lens with a Swing House twist. The journey celebrates the spirit of the original jazz age while bringing it firmly onto today’s dancefloor, featuring heavyweight names and modern swing revival favourites including Parov Stelar, Caravan Palace, Club des Belugas, Swing Republic, Tape Five, Swingrowers, Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Benny Berigan, Louis Prima, Fab Samperi, Klischée and more. Woven throughout the mix are original productions from The Funk Assassin, including Velvet Swing Affair, Minuit à Montmartre, Bourbon Bead Arcade, Manor Born, Velvet After Midnight and Midnight Foxtrot Symphony, created to sit naturally alongside the classic swing, jazz and electro swing sound that inspired the whole journey. Unlike a fast-cut club mix, this has been mixed to let each track play out in its entirety, allowing the arrangements, horns, vocals, rhythms and character of every record to breathe. The result is a continuous swing jazz band feel, like one long late-night performance inside a glowing manor house, where the dancefloor never quite stops moving. Dedicated with love and respect to Miles Davis for his heavenly 100th birthday, one of the true giants of jazz, innovation and musical freedom - and to Sonny Rollins, a true muse for this mix and one of the great spirits of swing, soul and improvisation. Save this one for the afters.…
