Electro-swing is commonly based on samples and sounds from the swing era (1935-1946) The swing era was precipitated by spicing up familiar commercial, popular material with a harlem oriented flavour and selling it via a white band for a white musical/commercial audience. These samples and sounds are then processed and mixed with electronic beats and samples thus producing a hybrid between swing and electronica.
