Electro swing instrumental?
This listing popped up, and I didn't even know it was a genre. Anyway, seems like traditional jazz/swing elements paired with modern beats. I just happened to write something along those lines about a year ago and wonder if you think it's a fit. The song is called Private Eye.

Here's the listing. Thanks!
Lots of ORIGINAL ELECTRO SWING INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a successful Music Library with International Distribution and a great list of TV, Film, and Commercial placements.
This company is looking for a bunch of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of these references:
"Fun Time" by DJ Quads
"Oh What A Whirl" by Jules Gaia
"Lone Digger" by Caravan Palace
Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only.
Please submit expertly composed Instrumentals that seamlessly marry modern beats and production sensibilities with ORIGINAL modern or vintage Swing or Jazz music. Your submissions should have fun, danceable beats and catchy melodies. Be sure your production is competitive with the references and other artists like them.
All submissions should be about 2 to 3 minutes in length (give or take). Non-Faded, Button/Stinger endings will work best. Please do not copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for overall feel, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Re: Electro swing instrumental?
The composition & vibe sound cool - but, to be honest - there's not much 'swing' in it, to these old guy ears, from the top.
So that it's really 'snappy' - without changing anything else - just double-time the drums/perc under it, it would work fine.

I listened to your second track first and think it hits the Electro Swing vibe much better - just add in a modern-sounding Kick drum like in House music.

Re: Electro swing instrumental?
All the refs are like those old cartoon-style tunes with a modern beat underneath... I don't see this one as a cartoon tune... it is too relaxed, doesn't have all these wind accents. It is a nice track, but not for this listing.
