As the title says, I'm looking for genre/artists that play jazz-funk with sax and vocals but mixed with electro sounds in a dancing rhythm.
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?

Yeah actually strangely enough I know this it's on the tip of my tongue though. 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.

The second one reminds me of this LOL:

I don't know the genre name but it reminded me a bit of Big Gigantic and/or Pretty Lights, although neither are too close. Maybe you're looking for jazz house or something?

I really like Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar not so much, although catgroove is addicting.

Thanks a lot for this thread, was wondering about this myself not too long ago. <3

Does anyone have any recommendations besides the obvious Parov Stelar / Caravan Palace?

OP, that 2nd second you posted has an extremely close reselmblance to a song from Donkey Kong. I guess that explains why i like this type of music, cuz it reminds me of that game.

Yeah, first one is electro swing. 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.
