Review: A quartet with tango in their blood, Los Quarto de la Sala have been going since 2003 yet have waited until now to collect their finest South American melodies on this, their debut album. Comprising accordion, guitar, clarinet and saxophone, the group (whose name translates as "The Quartet From Space") are adept at shifting between styles and moods effortlessly. Listen to "Unland" for example and you'll hear swings from slow, melancholy soloing to galloping, full-group rhythms. Pitched somewhere between experimental jazz and Ravel, this will offer a refreshing and heart-warming alternative perspective on tango rhythms and tropes.

Review: Floor-pounding electro-swing from UK crew Dutty Moonshine, who bust out the jazzy licks on their new "Rauchestra" EP in style, mixing breakneck beats and dapper rap on "Fancy a Tipple," dubstep wobbles on their collaboration with Brighton's JFB and swing-era crooning on "Elephant In The Room".

Review: Surprisingly, it's hard to find any information on who Sans Chichi is (or are), though we now know rather a lot about a French racehorse with the same name. Whoever's behind it, Mute N Muse is a charming, smoking jacket-sporting fusion of twinkling restaurant jazz, fireside grooves and emotion-rich downtempo groovery. While there's the odd uptempo cut - see the fuzzy instrumental soul of "Dolly's Run" and snappy "Pauline" - the overall feel is much more languid, downbeat and lounge-friendly, with extensive piano solos and hissing jazz cymbals to the fore. Music like this can sometimes get a bit "lift muzak", but Sans Chichi sidestep this potential pitfall with effortless ease.

Review: With a title that sounds like a long lost Prince B-side, "69 Times & Then One More" is, in fact, a party tune that looks much further back in time for inspiration, chiefly the big bands of the '30s and '40s. The lead track is basically electro-swing without the electro, replaced instead by a stormin' Latin-fuelled live band. Mondo Cane brings back some of the clubby beats, fusing them with sassy vintage brassy for his remix, whilst Funkanomics delivers an eccentric slap bass-led jam and Dutty takes things into a jazzy late '80s hip-house zone. "Swingy Mamma" is more your up straight swing crowd-pleaser, given a beats boost by Acido Domingo.

Review: It's hard to believe, but it really is a whole year and half since we last heard from Jojo Effect. This time round on the 18 tracks on offer here (some are remixes), we encounter less of the electro, but more of the swing heard on previous releases. The overall effect is a smorgasbord of jazzy lounge styles that hark back to the 1940s with a little 21st century fizz, like the housed up Charleston jive of "Rockin' The Blue" and the Morcheeba-esque "Hollywood".

Review: Live swing troupe Jojo Effect deliver "Sweet Heart" from last month's album Smarter, and they do so with scented paper and a pretty pink bow. Sugar-sweet and twice and as pretty, everything about this R&B-arranged jam has a laid back, slipper-wearing jazz vibe that's undeniably infectious: Blossom-lip lyrics, dreamy signatures on the fills and super-tight instrumentation. Looking for something more floor optimised? The Heartbeat mix has been made with you in mind.

Review: You could be forgiven for feeling that electro-swing may have lost its 'schwing', but in fact it's been given a whole new lease of life by Italian band Bomba Titinka. That's certainly how Chinchin see it, proudly presenting their debut release, Bicycle. There are five originals here, all of which display a classy sheen with a fuss-free organic feel due to the lack of brash samples and thumping kicks found on most tunes in this genre now. Molto bravo!

Louis Armstrong - "Cuban Pete" (Pep's Show Boys/Sebastian Roeser/Russo radio remix) - (3:21) 125 BPM 
Review: Leading German Jazz and Electro Swing label ChinChin always promise 'so much more' and this attitude has seen their artists' sounds spread across the world via nearly 3000 different compilations and almost endless commercial and cinematic syncs. Here they're celebrating fresh new selections for the year ahead, 20 of them in fact. Highlights include the Pep's Show Boys thumping electro-swing rework of Louis Armstrong's "Cuban Pete", the Italo-swing quirkiness of Bomba Titinka's "Grammofono" and the sandy Latin lounger "Let Your Voice Be Free".

Review: Back in 2013 Greek producer Mister T hooked up with half-Thai, half-Scottish nu-jazz singer Jean Honeymoon for the excellent The Secret. Well they've finally got round to repeating the magic and the result is Take Me Away. There are three tracks on the EP, all of which continue with the smooth, retro-lounge vibes previously explored. The title track and "Love Is Wonderful" adds some '90s jazzy hip-hop moods to the mix, whilst "Let Your Voice Be Free" revisits that so-close-you-can-almost-taste-it mythical bar by the beach in 1960s Rio.

Review: If the recent Great Gatsby movie hasn't satiated your appetite for 1920s decadence, then this release is for you! Alice Francis is a French based artist in love with this decade and in particular, her idol Josephine Baker. The original "Gangsterlove", with its pizzicato fiddle and banjo, evokes the sprit of that age whilst her rap takes things into the 21st century. Here there are seven remixes that touch on perky electro-swing (Shiny Mob), acoustic beats (Sound Nomaden), Euro-house (Jamie Berry) and even noisey electro (3asy-K).
