Caro Emerald - That Man (Xtreme Nature Bootleg)

electro swing is much more a style than it is specifically a BPM. I've always hated that it's in the house section. things that apply to midtempo can still be electro swing just because of the methods of production, sampling etc. Much like glitch hop exists all the way from 80bpm or lower up to 110 (or even more, though it could be argued that's just double time 70-80bpm). Trying to pigeonhole based on kick and snare patterns is a sure way to lose sight of the overarching style of any genres. There are plenty that it does apply to (such as moombahton, or drumstep, etc), but if somoene goes searching through the electro swing they would expect to find a song like this, much unlike those who would be searching within the midtempo dubstep section expecting to find this.

Absolutely nothing of what you said indicates why this is Electro Swing.

---Unless you provide actual data as to why this is Electro Swing, moved back to Midtempo Dubstep.

to add upon that; according to your reasoning anything with a Swing influence belongs in this section. 

---No. So much fucking no. We are not going to contribute to the convolution of genres.

The convolution of genres? 

electro swing = electronic swing music

Anything utilizing swing samples or beats mixed with electronic music is thus classified as electro swing. It does NOT have to be in the house music BPM range, though I will agree with you that most of it is, and can see how that could seem a way to define it, although I assure you it is not.

- here's an entire article on the definition of electro swing. Not once does it say anything along the lines of why you moved to Midtempo Dubstep. 

- You can dig through multiple electro swing compilations. Many feature tracks that have basslines as heavy if not heavier than this, coming in anywhere from 90bpm to 130bpm.

It's a genre I'm very familiar with, and this is not midtempo dubstep.

By that reasoning "Electro Swing" is not a Genre, but a Category.

to consider all electronic music that has a Swing influence as "Electro Swing" is Pigeonholing.

it should if it is in the House Music section.

If one is in any of the House Sections then they are looking for the House flow, which isn't achieved outside House BPMs.

Read.

I 100% agree with VICE.

It is the Worst Genre of Music in the World because, by the definition supplied, it is NOT a Genre but a Category.

Plus, Look at the Writer of the Article, Completely Ignorant and merely spouting off Hearsay from other sources.

Electro swing combines the influence of vintage or modern swing and jazz mixed with house, hip hop and EDM

She even goes as far as to separate House Music and EDM as separate entities; that article, in no way, is a valid source of information.

shouldn't be.

There are Midtempo sections for a reason.

you have yet to provide any data stating otherwise.

If you can supply data then I am 100% willing to listen and consider all you have to say.
