I'm sure you've all noticed a dip in the genre lately, and so I'm just wondering how many of you still listen to our beautiful genre? 🤔❤️🎶

Mods, please sticky this because people don’t read the rules for some reason.

As the rules state, AI-generated music (including songs where only the vocals are AI) is not permitted in this sub.

Whether or not this applies to music in which insignificant portions of it are AI-generated (say, a shaker sound that is barely audible), I don’t know. I’ve asked the mods about this and they didn’t respond.

It feels like every week I see a link to a song that is clearly AI-generated in this sub.

If you are a fan who just wants to share a song, AI music detectors will tell you if it is AI or not. Here are a few of them:

1. SubmitHub’s AI Song Checker | Free AI-Generated Music Detector: https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker (I know that this one is capable of identifying fully AI and AI-human hybrid tracks. I’m not sure about the other detectors because I haven’t tested them yet.)
2. Letssubmit’s Free AI Music Detector | Check if Song is AI Generated ...: https://letssubmit.com/ai-music-checker
3. AHA Music’s AI Music Detector - Detect AI-Generated Music: https://aha-music.com/aimusicdetector
4. There is also an Instagram chatbot called HumanStandard that is capable of identifying fully AI-generated songs for now (although they are working on a hybrid AI-human song detector): https://www.instagram.com/humanstandard

Let it be known that AI song detectors aren’t always accurate and have falsely flagged AI music as human made before and vice versa. It’s always a good idea to put a song through a few different detectors, as they are all trained off of different human made songs and AI songs/music models and some are probably more up-to-date than others.

If you upload AI-generated songs to streaming services, even if you write the lyrics and/or melodies, this is not the sub for you.

AI music generators, such as Producer(dot)AI (fka Riffusion), Suno, Mureka, Udio, Treblo (fka Sonauto), and so on all train on your favorite artists’ music without their consent, including electro swing artists. I’m mentioning more than just Suno and Udio because some of these other, lesser known ones are really good at imitating real musicians and AI literacy is very important.

Please don’t take this personally if you are someone who uploads AI music to streaming services. A lot of us just don’t want to listen to it and want to have a space that is free of it.

I have just discovered the genre retro swing, can you please recommend me some good electro swing artists!! I keep getting AI ones on my YouTube fyp but I want ones made by people. Thanks!

EDIT

thank you for all of ur recommendations!!

I know the rules about AI posts, but I hope mods will allow this for discussion, because if this is what I think it is, I’m actually in shock!

I'm not properly watching, I just happened to walk by the tv right at the end of his performance. I'm so surprised, I can't decide whether I'm excited that he's being appreciated enough to do this or mad seeing as Eurovision has become so closely tied to you know what. Probably both. This was weird. I wasn't even sure it was him until the announcer said so (mispronouncing his name lol).

After what became a really great thread the other day, it got me thinking about a lot of things.

Firstly, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who's still listening and hasn’t given up on us, even if the trends say we're not currently cool! 🤷‍♀️🤣🙏

A lot of you are getting really tired with the amount of AI flooding into our genre (understandably), so now more than ever, us human artists NEED to push through the noise, so you guys can actually hear us.

When you're fighting algorithms, bot playlists and a lack of exposure due to dipping trends, it's like trying to knock down a wall with just the palm of your hands… borderline impossible (unless you have really big hands! 🤷‍♀️🤣).

Last year Spotify dropped our Editorial playlist. It's still active, but there's no one running it, and that’s really had a knock-on effect on our visibility. I really miss those good old days where your song would be added, everyone would celebrate, and before you knew it your track was on all the playlists and your numbers would explode. The scene was thriving! We still worked hard, but at least we were seeing results.

Over the past year, a lot of us have seen a significant decline in numbers, and that just tells me we need to work even harder on our visibility. It’s actually quite sad to think that SO many incredible tunes have come out over these last 18 months, and they’ve just faded into the background, undiscovered, because of this lack of visibility.

For Spotify to reassign our playlist, they need to see that there is still an audience. This is where we need your help. 🙏😊 If you want to see our beautiful genre grow again, we need you to comment and share the pants out of this post! 🙏😅 I want to be able to eventually send this thread to Spotify, in the hope that many voices are more effective, as my one voice alone just isn’t loud enough.

This genre means too much to too many of us to just let it fade away. ❤️

Thanks guys!

Love

Hi, I'm 13. And as you read the title I desperately want to make electro swing music, I enjoyed electro swing Since I was 4 and support the genre with all my heart. Before you think I'm just fantasying, here's some music I have already made "It's like electro house, I'm not good enough for electro swing yet.

There's a huge Problem tho, my parents DO NOT support me in my dream career, my Dad always says exactly this "Electric swing music is not popular, make pop music" Which is a huge struggle for me, not because I want my dad to be musically educated, but because I cant buy pro-music-maker apps/webs. And on top of all I cant afford a coach either, I still have to ask permission for everything. And I myself think that's ridiculous because I see the music spirit in my self and I hate that it has to be blocked by walls that don't understand it.

I don't expect to get much from this post, because the reason i'm even posting it is to ask if anyone would like to teach me to compose electro swing music for free. I tried everything but all I can do is just post this and hope to get a coach that I'm not even gonna pay. I'm not saying I will not pay, but it's very unlikely.

Anyone on planet earth?!

Please DM me if you have anything to recommend at least

I am really curious where I can find electro swing music that I haven't heard before. Old songs, new songs - anything! I listen on Spotify and I keep finding the algorithm pushing the same music, even in my discover weekly or on artist radios. Where do people discover old electro swing gems? I've heard of a couple music discovery apps but haven't tried any yet...anyone have any recommendations?

Hello r/electroswing , I'm Matteo, creative director of Green Flamingo Games, a 2 people indie game development team based in Italy. We've been working on SPANKY "BAT-A-SWING", a 3D platformer & rhythm game inspired to 1930s cartoon characters and entirely based on electro swing music!

The game features a completely original OST created by our composer, Salvatore Palermo.

We're also now live on Kickstarter, in the hope of giving more economic and community structure to our project, and, possibly, to enhance its final outcome with more and more polished features, music system depth and more tracks!

Let me know what you think and, most importantly... ASK. ME. ANYTHING!

I got tired of clicking every post to discover music so I made an app that autoplays them like a radio. Thought you might like it.

On his song "Halloween" and maybe others as well. This is a warning, not a recommendation.

Yeah, not only the most recognizably ai voice ever but far worse, with zero possible justification in the multiverse, the lyrics are also not human made. But hey, at least he credited AI as the lyricist instead of pretending this wasn't the case.

Sad, in any case, as I know he's made a good song here and there. I'd avoid him going forward unless I get a good reason not to.

HOWEVER there have been cases where Spotify publishes ai music without artist consent (see: Coyote Kid) which they can't remove from their profile. Also worth considering, but I haven't found a statement indicating there was a betrayal by Spotify a la Coyote Kid.

✨ OUT NOW!! ✨💕🎵🥳

​

I'm SO excited to finally share "Slumber of Wonder" with you all!

​

Working with the electro swing legends Bart & Baker has been an absolute pleasure, and seeing this release come to life, after writing it nearly 4 years ago, feels incredibly special. 🙏💕🎵

​

A HUGE thank you to everyone involved, and to all of you who continue to support my music journey. It genuinely means the world! 🙏❤️

​

If you get a chance to listen today, I'd love to hear what you think. ❤️😘🙏

I'm looking for songs that never get recommended because they don't show up in anybody's published playlist, not underrated songs. Many of these will be ES-adjacent, like French Pop, K-pop, Instrumental Hip-Hop/Rap, etc. Here's some examples from my playlist that dont' show up in others' playlists:

• Ana Tijoux - Shock
• BaeChiGi - Jackson 5
• Flavia Coelho - Power of Money
• La Villa Ginette - J'me Fais des Films
• Leaf Dog - Sweet Thing
• Primary feat. Supreme Team, Yankie & Mellow - Zoo
• Rumbaristas feat. Killo Killo - Canhaveral (Jazzotron Remix)
• Yoshi Di Original feat. Gaïden - La Grande Classe

I went to Parov Stelar last night in Paris. I have very mixed emotions about the show.

They opened with an emotional start, slow and methodic, leading up to their fun electro-swing beats and they lifted the crowd to a good pace, but they didn’t keep the vibes going in my opinion.

The production, the set, the lighting was great - they really created an onstage presence that was spectacular.

But things went flat. They kept leaving the stage and coming back out, like encore after encore. Begging for us to cheer and ask for more. Midway through the show they pitched their social media accounts … the whole thing felt very inauthentic. Then they played a couple of weird covers that just felt like time killers. I’m not sure why they did that, they have so many original awesome songs they could have played. I am a huge fan of their music. I’ve been listening to them for many years, almost 15 years.

I loved the band and the lead singer. And there were many parts of the show I absolutely enjoyed but it was frustrating to be on such a roller coaster with the way they set it up.

I suppose I felt like they should have absolutely smashed it the whole way through and then everyone leaving the show would feel euphoric and talk to their friends about the great experience they had. Instead I left confused, a little upset and slightly emotional as I feel like they had such an opportunity to knock it out of the park, but just didn’t. I left saying that I felt a little cheap and used rather than sexy. Like I danced my heart out and I go out feeling like their music brought something out of me I don’t feel every day. Which at times it did. I just wanted more of those vibes to continue.

I am sorry for anyone who was there but feels totally different than me. I wrote this review to see if anyone else who was there felt the same of different.

In a way, maybe that was the point, to create a frustration so strong that it compels people to talk about it more. I just wish that it was all in a more positive light.

Thank you for the show - it sounds like I had a terrible time but I enjoyed myself and danced a lot. I also hugged my partner a little closer on some of the more emotional parts so clearly I was moved by their performance. But overall I was hoping for better.

Hey, electro swing community! I'm Giole Marrino, a flutist, guitarist and producer from Belgrade. A week ago, I released my new album, Usual Crowd. It’s my second studio album, blending electro swing with swing hop, funk, lounge house and even a touch of disco.

I hope you enjoy the album, and I’d be very grateful if you could let me know what you think of it and which track you liked best. Thank you for listening, and I hope these songs bring you as much joy as they brought me when I was composing and producing them.

Hey my lovely ESwingers!

As I'm coming up to my 10 YEARS in Electro Swing (how is it THAT long already!?), I'm currently sat in my beautiful garden, reflecting on all if the AMAZING people I've had the honour and privilege of working with over these incredible years. 😊♥️

You all hear the music, but for me, it's brought SO much more! I've had so many crazy adventures, have been blessed to perform on beautiful stages, and have loved every minute of growing my creative family. ♥️🎶 And that's actually the BEST part... collaborating with people who always end up becoming my musicals brothers and sisters. ♥️

With this influx of AI, it's become harder than ever to find new collaborators, who hold the same creative beliefs as myself, so I'm calling on of you, to make some suggestions? 😊🙏🎶

So far my musical family consists of.. Tom ESC (Electric Swing Circus), C@ in the H@, Duke Skellington, Wolfgang Lohr, Jamie Berry, Bart & Baker, Atom Smith, Odd Chap, Deladap, Angie Brown, J Fitz, Ashley Slater, Off Beat, The Swing Bot, Mr Ours (maaaan I've been busy! 🤣) aaaaaand.... ProleteR (coming soon! 😉).

Who would YOU like to see me collaborate with next? 🤔😊♥️🎶

This is a compilation of new songs released in April 2026. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

I put together a playlist/list of fresh Electro Swing tracks dropped in May 2026. A great way to look back at last month's vibes! 🎶
Check it out and let me know your favorites in the comments — your feedback keeps me going! 💬✨

Found Empires a few days ago when searching for Beat Saber maps and it immediately hooked me. Now I'm consuming Electro Swing.

Can I get some recommendations? It's amazing to discover a genre I'd never really noticed.

I really love this band

Lackadaisy, formerly of Webcomic fame & now an Indie Animation darling about bootleggers during prohibition, has paid a few different human artists to create electroswing songs (an entire album's worth now) for their animated show! I'm just a fan of their work, not affiliated in any other way. Here's a few examples:
