Swing city (label) run by mike dixon (I think) is the first to spring to mind. I know of others but can't pull them outta my brain. Funny thing is, I don't really like the style all that much. I'll see if I can find more labels that specialize. Some of the earlier releases on the igloo label (derrick carter and co.)might be in that vein (but a bit tougher)try igl007, igl006 (has putting on the ritz), and igl001 (has a track with some swing samples but is definitely house and also incorporates a few jazzier/disco bits later in the track). Not as obvious with the swing as the mike Dixon stuff, but hotter to me cause they got more...boomp?

Just can't recall the name of it. MEK
