Divorce A L'Italien

There's something really liberating about the use of swing vocals in electronic music. For a start it renders a song immediately timeless. The sample comes from a long past age, which means there is no need for hundreds of clamouring bloggers to argue about who was the first to post such and such an edit. I'm just looking for nice sampling work and remixture, a harmony of (often) ageing vocals thrust into the digital world, to provide an element of freshness to a track which was successful and cutting edge at it's conception.

Here's a bit of swing-dub fusion, in my opinion the best track on their 'Mungo's HiFi Soundsystem Champions' album (2008) with, ironically, vocals from the still active Marina P. There is a real spirit of l'italien here which isn't really present in much of her other stuff, and the engagement between this and the swung brass makes for a delightful little number rolling in around 124bpm.
