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: In the words of near immortal Saturday morning kids TV types Trevor and Simon (remember them?), "swing your pants". Yep, it's time for some breezy electro-swing silliness as Jojo Effect brings the Andrew Sisters kicking and screaming into the 21st century. "Freaky Brown Bug Meets The A Sisters" (try saying that after a gallon of bourbon) sounds like a contemporary take on Mr Scruff's much-played "Get A Move On", just with more bonkers drum solos, dubbed-out vocal snippets and trouser-swinging goodtime groovery. The Funky Club Mix is the one for dancefloor plays, while bonus Bing Crosby mash-up (really) "I'm An Old Cowhand" offers more decidedly zany thrills.

Review: Perhaps known best for their lounge-tastic cover of Nirvana's "Come As You Are", the Bebo Best Orchestra are masters of the soft shuffling art of gentle bossa and '60s exotica. There are covers on this full-length LP too - Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" gets a pleasingly Brazilian makeover for example - but it's originals like "Teu Corpo", "Samba Wonder" and "La Fleur De La Musique" that really stick out. The Lord Sitar-recalling "Beat Conductor" sees big-beat drums come out to shine while classic '70s funk is represented handsomely on "Bass 70".

Review: A producer with an obvious appreciation of jazz, from the gypsy swing of Django Reinhardt to the big band blues of Duke Ellington, Lazlo's debut album is a well-crafted fusion of organic vintage samples and smart and subtle beats. Tunes like the perky "Sucette", the tight skank of "The Minor Drags" or the shuffle-beat frenzy of "I've Got A Girl In Kalamazoo" make this a must-have 14 song collection for fans of classy electro swing and pepped-up ragtime jazz.

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: 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: Over the years, Brenda Boykin has developed a worldwide reputation as a leader in jazz and blues vocal interpretation. This is chiefly due to her 'jump up style', which she defines as being a combination of 'bourbon and cornbread'. Album opener "Feel Me" is almost funky house but with added jazz trumpet and percussive embellishments. Beyond this "Mambo Jambo" is a Latino workout, "This Maybe Game" visits the jazzy side of the swinging 60s, "Where Is It Written" explores a vintage Nina Simone sound and "Stone Mad" is an up-tempo bluesy mambo hybrid. Also included is a pumping house remix of "Pa-Pade Swing" by Koko Chanel.

Review: Quite what the Jojo Effect is, we may never know. Perhaps this electro-swing chanteuse can use jedi-like powers of persuasion over anyone she encounters. But maybe not, considering that she's had to release a song to inform a certain woman to stop hitting on her man. Anyway, "Stay Away From My Man" is all xylophones and martinis, but the Gardener Of Delight mix takes the tune into escalating electro-house territory while the Sans Chichi version concentrates on a funk guitar vibe. Bonus tracks "Suddenly", "Blue Moon" and "Rockin' The Blue" cover retro-swing, clarinet-heavy cover version and vintage shuffle areas respectively.

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).

Review: This single is Greek producer Mister T's first release since long player Play It Loud, and he's still on fine form. Teaming up with seductive chanteuse Jean Honeymoon for three deliciously retro outings, "The Secret" leads the pack coming across as an early '60s Euro spy affair complete with mambo percussion and James Bond brass section. Further in "The Things You Do" swaps brass for Brubeck-style jazz, man. Lastly "With You" goes all shimmering Brazilian house on us, and we're not complaining!

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: 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".
