We at Lefort admit we are slothful and so are happy to occasionally sit back, take a listen and ride the coattails of others.\u00a0 So it is that we welcome guest blogger, Derp<\/strong>, to Lefort.\u00a0 Take it away then, Derp.<\/p>\n

You know, Lefort, your coverage of indie, country, soul, punk, reggae (wait, where’s that anyway?), jazz and traditional rock is all fine and good, but where are the electro sounds?\u00a0 You’re failing to cover the most exciting genre happening in music today, a genre which appeals to both the young and the old (that would be you, monsieur).\u00a0 I can help with that.\u00a0 Let’s start with some of the most accessible artists and tracks in the genre, and then we can get into some more challenging material in due time.<\/p>\n

Without further adieu, first check out Austrian artist, Parov Stelar<\/strong>.\u00a0 The stellar Stelar<\/strong> uses swing music as his foundation and then layers onto it modern dance and\/or electro beats for a combo that is unique and addictingly enjoyable.\u00a0 The result is the sub-genre, “Electroswing<\/strong>.”\u00a0 Check out Catgroove <\/strong><\/em>below, which is quintessential Stelar that employs a jazzy swing number, with a driving beat above and below it, and a resulting modern dance feel.\u00a0 You and your readers will also likely enjoy the inventive solo dancing by “Forythe<\/strong>” in the accompanying video.\u00a0 Afterwards, check out Stelar’s Chambermaid Swing<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
