About

Seven vinyl albums including 2008 debut and latest 2024 release — popular electro swing on various labels.

Caravan Palace is a French electro swing band born from the fusion of 1930s jazz manouche and electronic music. The original trio of musicians inspired by Django Reinhardt expanded into a septet featuring bass, guitar, violin, clarinet, trombone, DJ, and vocals. Their style blends swing jazz instrumentation with electronic beats and modern production. This approach brought new life to the electro swing genre, drawing fans across Europe and beyond.

Vinyl enthusiasts can explore their discography spanning from their self-titled 2008 debut to their 2024 album Gangbusters Melody Club. Various formats include 12" LPs, limited editions, and anniversary reissues. Prices on the market range broadly for originals and repressings, reflecting demand for the band’s groove-heavy records.
