The Sound and the Swing
“Disco Swing” is Wolfgang Lohr at his genre-blending best, merging electro swing with disco and house into a track that’s pure fire. It kicks off with a classic swing groove—think gypsy guitar riffs and punchy brass hits that scream Roaring ‘20s, straight out of a Gatsby party. Then the disco and house elements drop in: a thumping four-on-the-floor beat, a catchy horn-driven hook, and a dancefloor-ready chorus that’s impossible to resist. The swing rhythms keep it bouncy and nostalgic, while the modern production—crisp synths and a driving bassline—makes it a banger for today’s clubs. It’s a perfect fusion of vintage vibes and contemporary energy, capturing the essence of Lohr’s The Lohring 20s album while setting the tone for a journey through time.
Wolfgang Lohr, a Berlin-based producer, composer, and DJ, has been a titan in the electro swing scene since moving to the city in 2007. Born in Bad Segeberg and raised in Lübeck, Germany, he started as a trumpeter and songwriter in the ska band DaSKArtell before diving into Berlin’s vibrant electro scene. With a catalog of about 180 tracks, including his iconic cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road Jack” (now at 65 million plays), Lohr’s become one of the most sought-after electro swing artists globally. He’s also the mastermind behind Electro Swing Thing, a label that’s a hub for the genre, and has been involved in projects like the disco-house duo DINKS and tech house outfit Dorade. His past releases, like “Welcome Back 20s” in 2022, have leaned into that Roaring ‘20s mood with a modern twist, and “Disco Swing” continues that legacy with its fresh take on swing house.
Electro swing is having a moment in 2025, with artists blending vintage sounds with club beats—think Parov Stelar’s influence but with a broader reach into disco and house, as seen in recent releases like XIE’s “Siente El Ritmo.” “Disco Swing” fits right in, with its nostalgic brass and gypsy guitar meeting today’s dancefloor demands, making it a perfect fit for playlists like Spotify’s Electro Swing Essentials or Beatport’s house charts. Lohr’s knack for bridging eras keeps the genre alive and kicking, and this track’s infectious energy is primed to get crowds moving. Check it out below—the artwork’s got that sleek, ‘20s-inspired vibe that totally matches the song’s spirit.
