Staples like Crazy In Love (which inspired the cover in Great Gatsby), their version of Peas And Rice or On The Downbeat are all essential listening. They recently released their 3rd full album, Mo' Electro Swing Republic - Let's Misbehave, described by Juno as "a horn-blasting, piano-slapping exercise in modern swing with full references to the sample and source... No act does swing like Swing Republic." - Don't miss this rare UK appearance including full AV show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf-AsS5l2qk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT1KzpthAtM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlihVTVvgyc ★ SMOKEY JOE & THE KID Slamming French DJ duo who mix hip-hop and swing like no others. They've been on at White Mink before and always bring the house down. Late night beats... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEZP5Y8HQI0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLlk2C_Orak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkLPHk0x-GY ★ RAY OF CHARLES We are certain you will forgive us for stepping outside our era slightly with this booking because they so capture the dazzling energy that distinguishes a great speakeasy experience from a mediocre one. This is just a hugely uplifting act we simply couldn't resist. Russell Christian’s (of The Christians fame if you remember them) ability to capture the iconic sound and energy of Ray Charles is uncanny, with his soul soaked voice and amazing instrumental ability on the piano and saxophone. One of the best tribute acts we've ever seen, the band have performed internationally in America, Asia and Europe, as well as recording and performing alongside such legends as Paul McCartney, James Brown and Barry White! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ipVPmdAJRY ★ DJ CHRIS TOFU Co-founder of the worlds first Electro Swing club, DJ Tofu is the creative musical force behind all of Glastonbury's Shangri La field among many other amazing events every year. A genuine enthusiast and trail-blazer who's unpredictable musical style is hugely infectious... http://www.mixcloud.com/DJChrisTofu/ ★ DJ and COMPERE NICK HOLLYWOOD Described as 'the Godfather of Electro Swing' by The Telegraph - Nick is behind the White Mink compilations, the Freshly Squeezed label and radio shows, and the world's first Electro Swing club among many other things... here he takes time out from his busy schedule to do what he loves best... http://www.mixcloud.com/FreshlySqueezedMusic/freshly-squeezed-radio-no104-white-mink-special/ ★ Lots more TBA, including ★ MISSY MACABRE Fire Burlesque ★ DEPARTMENT OF BRILLIANT ★ Fun Casino, Dancers and more! ★ As always, expect high production values, amazing music, world-class performers, a fantastic atmosphere and surprises galore!

As the originators of a speakeasy and swing revival, we are proud to be "taking clubland by storm" (The Daily Telegraph).
