commercial bar/club aiming to throw in a slight oldskool swing sound..

Gary Moore 6:39 PM - 18 April, 2014
So I'm DJ'ing at a new upmarket bar/club and they are very happy with the DJ sets so far but the manager wants to add in a touch of old skool swing style tunes to fit the decor of the venue and stand out a bit. Haven't had such a specific request in the 10 years I've been on the circuit... Having trouble with searches on the net for tunes with oldskool band sounds / trumpets / saxophone etc..

tunes like this:

Candyman - Christina Aguilera
why don't you - gramophonedzie
Mucho Mumbo sway - shaft
aint no other man - Christina Aguilera

Any other ideas would be really appreciated.

Could add some actual swing type tunes in also:
Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Brian Setzer Orchestra
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
There was a big swing sound revival in the late 90's.
Also check out the bigger Rockabilly acts.
Some of the Ska stuff might fit in as well like Reel Big Fish

When managers think they know their crowd better than the dj... #fail

If you play the mentioned swinging house track from Gramophonedzie, you might like this one too: Dajaé - U Got Me Up (Cajmere's Underground Goodies Mix)

I bet Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 - will work there too
and Mungo Jerry - In the summertime
and Chubby Checker - The Twist
would fit as well
