If that sounds gibberish I'm talking about something like that + Show Spoiler + (well dont know if he composed that all by himself or mixed an oldies song but its dead on what im looking for) or this + Show Spoiler + Closest thing I can relate it to is acid jazz but accid is not upbeat enough. So help me, do you know what this genre is called or any similar artists?

There's this stupid (but addictive) dating show in England called Take Me Out. One of the guys who went on it danced to this music as his hobby. It is called electro swing I believe. Here's a random soundcloud of a selection. They have nights where people rave to this music dressed in vintage clothing (sharp suits, stylish dresses). Looks pretty awesome tbh. https://soundcloud.com/bubblefunk/1920s-1930s-1940s-electro The second one reminds me of this LOL:

Strangely enough, Catgroove is one of the very few songs I like from Parov Stelar, and also one of the few electro swing songs I like. The thomas the tank engine+biggie smalls mashup was pretty awesome though!! Caravan Palace is great though, just looked it up and whoa, I really like them.
