BPM often consists of large ensembles or orchestras. It's sort of like a new incarnation of big band music of the previous decades. Although this is really more of a theme than a sub-genre, it's an important consideration when devising your BPM playlist for your next swingin' cocktail party.
This is real lounge music, the kind you would have taken your spouse to see after consuming too many martinis to be fit to drive. It's often repetetive, catchy, and poppy. There's something very kitschy, but perfect for entertaining hipsters and people that shop at vintage stores. So pull out your iPhone and invite your skinny jean wearing friends to peddle their fixed gears on over to a swingin' soiree.
Here's what to play:
Jack Nitzsche - The Magnificent Seven
Wolfgang Kaltenbach - Party Shaker
Hugo Montenegro - Sandals Only
Hugo Montenegro - The Wiggely Pig Walk
Brian Fahey - Open House
Francis Lai - Marseillaise Generique
Joe "Fingers" Carr - Portuguese Washerwomen
Dave Pell - Like Young
Check out the rest on SomaFM or Pandora. Enjoy those cocktails and stay tuned!
