Bosse there is very knowledgeable, and has a good selection of cd's, and can probably have you listen to some Swedish jazz not readily available in the US. His website is
www.skivfynd.com
That shop sounds good, perhaps it's similar to the one in Paris called 'Paris Jazz Corner' which is discussed on this thread -

I've heard there is also a good Jazz shop in Gothenburg in Sweden.

A little unusual, but for Japanese...
I found "Makka na Bara to Gin Tonic" (A Crimson Rose and Gin Tonic) on the soundtrack for the video game Katamari Damacy. It borrows a brief riff here and there from It Don't Mean A Thing, and Sing Sing Sing.
It clocks in around 250 bpm. It's also just over nine minutes long, so unless you're truly evil it would require some editing for DJing purposes.

Heh, I have a "Swing de Chocobo" that's not half bad. Clocks in a 190 bpm, under 5 minutes long.

Adding to that, I'd like to mention Midge Williams' three tracks off "Complementary Tracks" [3CD] [Classics #24].
She does "St. Louis Blues" (104 bpm), "Lazy Bones" (96 bpm) and "Dinah" (180 bpm) in Japanese, recorded 1934 in Tokyo, with Japanese musicians! And it's not just novelty, the music is actually pretty ok. I especially like "Dinah".
