Caravan Palace ("electro swing")

[fassyman]

because hearing terrible samples over terrible boring beats isn't my kind of thing. not to mention how retarded the notion of setting something with swing to fit on the most rigid drums instead. aesthetically it's incredibly horrible too and has this kind of forced fun thing going on which I hate. you know like it's the musical equivalent of that annoying person that comes up to you then you''re chilling at the bar and tells you to smile More and dance when you''re busy in conversation. fucking nights here for electro swing everyone dresses in suits and shit too. like the music is so gash you have to entertain yourself by dressing up like a wanker. it's the most safe boring painfully middle class music ever and saying you like it is basically saying to me "I have no clue about music I just want to be guided into dancing by simple rhythms and overly fun kooky samples because actual house music requires making a choice as to whether I enjoy it or can find a groove in it.

You really have a terrible habit of presenting your completely subjective opinions like they're somehow fact that you can either agree with or be wrong, and sounding like a complete tnuc while you're at it... Do you have trouble making friends?

to be honest you've actually come across worse here mate, wolf said electro-swing sucks, someone asked why he thought that, wolf explained his opinion and then you made character judgements based upon that and said that he often sounds like a tnuc...

I'm not just basing it off this time, he's rubbed me the wrong way with this shit a few times before. Don't like some music? Each to their own, no need to insult everyone who listens to it though. I rarely see wolf89 post anything that doesn't just come across as overly negative. There's plenty of people who express their dislike for certain kinds of music around here and I have no problem with 99% of them, but this guy just has a way of sounding like the biggest asshole when he does it.

see I think now your missing the point that it's possible to go out and have fun with mates who you enjoy being around. not evertrying is about music all the time you boob. I even went to an electro swing night with about 20 people cause the one who was getting married soon wanted to and we thought he should control the night. despite the c fact it was shit music it was a lot of fun but that's because we got soo fucking wasted and caused all sorts of chaos (culminating in one person getting naked.

As for this... I have no idea how that relates to anything I said, but congrats on a fun piss-up I guess.

For the record, I didn't even know electro-swing had a scene until now. I just heard Caravan Palace without any context and thought it was some cool shit. I don't really care if the nights are pretentious or the people who make up its main fanbase are all wankers, I just enjoy listening to it, end of.

Really like Parov Stelar's stuff, never bothered to find out what "genre" it was. Thanks for this thread

i loved the tunes in OP
lol@ the idea that superimposing swung rhythms with straight, rigid drums is a bad idea!??
that's pretty much a recipe for a sick groove.
obviously not looking for an hourlong set of it, but a track here or there would do it for me

It's made for places like that.

[fractal]

can't get into it as it sounds like that billy holiday remixed cd that was in all the starbucks a couple of years ago

that being said, i love actual swing music, as long as it is a little more wild and aggressive!
