This episode of Mr. Encyclopedia is so special! My friend Cat McDonald and I sat down to talk all things house music, specifically where house music intersects with jazz in a really cool way: electro-swing. 

We dive deep into Parisian/French electronic history, as well as some nomenclature and terminology around the many sub-genres of dance music past and present. Some history includes Frankie Knuckles, Daft Punk, Justice, Mr. Oizo, and others - true giants of house. 

Cat and I also discuss the makings of a great club banger, and how the psychology of the dance floor has changed due to Covid.

Tune in now to hear me and Cat get real nerdy.
