So far I have only a couple of danceable electro swing but even then they limit themselves to charleston
they limit themselves to charleston? whaaat? Phillip, with all due respect, I think if you're under the impression it mostly limits itself to that, there is a TON of electro swing you haven't heard..
Here's a link to just some of the better tunes I've heard, and yes, it's a link to a site I set up, but I'm not trying to just promote my site, you can ignore this link and just search for electro swing tracks on.. youtube (although with youtube you're going to have to scroll through a lot of garbage lol, which might be why you didn't wanna give this genre a chance?

or, search for Parov Stelar - Catgroove...
or Chinese Man - I've got that groove
Just my opinion, obviously, and feel free to disagree, but respectfully, I would have to say there's a LOT of similarities between electro swing and old swing from the 20s, 30s and 40s...
A lot of those tunes are remixes, but Parov Stelar, and a host of other groups and artists (alot of them from France) are doing original things.
