Mornats Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Don't laugh but my colleague sent me this (she loves silly songs) and whilst is it a bit of a laugh I actually really like the style of the backing track. The combination of the hip-hop beat with swing/jazz style brass instruments is really nice and I'd love to listen to more of that style. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Musky Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Well, according to his wiki page he's described as Steampunk/Chap Hop, although a quick youtube of both those genres seems to throw up stuff that doesn't have the same blend of styles as Professor E. So maybe it's just him! Edited January 18, 2015 by Musky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Haha he is a chap Well, anyway it's inspired me to try and record something in that style so I'm off to Chap Hop tally-ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Your description of swing/jazz seems to be right on the money to me; it's slower than 30s swing from the likes of Benny Goodman but then that was for dancing to, not rapping over. Looking at a few YouTube videos of Benny Goodman pointed me to [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parov_Stelar"]Parov Stelar[/url] and the genre [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_swing"]electro swing[/url]... http://youtu.be/7fkOqXAHLKQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
