If you’ve been craving that perfect mix of old-school swing charm and fresh electronic energy, Wolfgang Lohr and J Fitz just delivered exactly that with their new single “Busy Lizzie.” This track doesn’t just play in the background—it pulls you onto the dancefloor and keeps you there longer than you planned.
Wolfgang Lohr has built a solid reputation as one of the go-to names in electro swing. The Berlin-based producer, composer, remixer, artist and DJ started out as a trumpeter, singer and songwriter in the ska band DaSKArtell while growing up near the Baltic Sea. After moving to Berlin in 2007 he dove into the city’s electro scene and has stayed active ever since. He’s part of the Disco-House duo DINKS and the Tech House project Dorade, and his remix work includes names like Felix Jaehn, Parov Stelar, Alle Farben, The Manhattan Transfer and In-Grid. His cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road Jack” has racked up tens of millions of plays and helped turn him into one of the most sought-after electro swing artists around. On top of his own catalogue of roughly 150–180 tracks and remixes, he also runs the Electro Swing Thing label, giving the genre a proper home.
J Fitz, the Copenhagen-based Irish vocalist also known as Richard Farrell, brings a warm, jazzy tone that sits perfectly on top of Lohr’s production. His music draws from house, world music, ambient electronica and soul, and he often builds his own samples from nature and travels. The result is a sound that feels curious and grounded at the same time.
“Busy Lizzie” sits right in the sweet spot of electro swing. Lively brass sections, swinging rhythms and that distinctive gypsy-jazz-inspired guitar give the track its vintage backbone, while modern beats keep everything current. J Fitz’s charismatic vocals add character and warmth, turning the whole thing into a bright, feel-good ride from start to finish. The melodies are catchy, the groove is solid, and the overall vibe is pure playful energy—exactly the kind of track that makes everyday worries fade for a few minutes.
Electro swing itself continues to carve out space on playlists and dancefloors by blending the joy of classic swing with contemporary electronic production. Tracks like this remind listeners why the style keeps finding new fans: it’s familiar enough to feel comforting and fresh enough to feel exciting. “Busy Lizzie” leans fully into that fun, dance-ready side of the genre without trying too hard.
