The now available five-track mini-album, “The Paris Swingbox”, demonstrates this distinctive sound. Unlike his albums, his EPs are aimed at the dance floor and “The Paris Swing Box”, without coming across as simply a tool for DJ’s, is no exception. The five tracks reflect the mood of the swing era in an inimitable way. The
samples are arranged subtly and sit perfectly. While staying true to the original sounds and their aesthetics, “The Paris Swing Box” manages to be a strictly modern production. With house beats
always in the foreground, these are kicking club tracks which have nothing to do with soothing lounge music. What has emerged here is a virtually unique hybrid which, rather than falling between the
genres of old and new, creates an altogether irresistible groove of its own. “The Paris Swing Box” comes as a double vinyl with folding cover and wonderfully drawn artwork in the style of the 20s: another bow
from Parov Stelars to the great era of swing.
