Having sizzled skaters last season with his electric blend of world beat and ethno groove, Richard "medicineman" Martin, Canada's most highly respected global fusion tastemaker, joins us again to dazzle the rink with his latest passion, electro swing.

What's "electro swing" you ask? The eclectic lovechild of early 1900s jazz and modern electronic beats, electro swing is one of the most recent dancefloor hybrids that's tapping its way into clubs across Europe. It's only fitting for this vintage vibe to make its way back to it's birthplace in North America.

The genre blends elements from house to dub reggae to lounge to hip hop. The result is this multi-faceted sound that's accessible to a wide range of ears.

Electro swing music is nostalgic, uplifting and downright infectious. And not to worry, you don't need to be a swing dancer (or should be say "swing skater") to enjoy it. Just let the rhythm speakeasy to you and you're on your way!
