In this episode of The Electro Swing Podcast, Offbeat is joined by classically trained musician turned electronic alchemist, Riff Kitten. Known for crafting dark, cinematic soundscapes laced with vintage swing, his music seamlessly blends jazz influences with lush orchestration, brooding beats, and an unmistakable sense of drama.

With a strong foundation in classical composition and a keen ear for genre fusion, Riff Kitten’s sound stands out for its sophistication and emotional depth. Since his debut on Freshly Squeezed in 2020, he’s released multiple albums, collaborated with artists like former guests Alanna Lyes and Atom Smith, as well as Annella, and built a catalog that’s as unpredictable as it is compelling.

Beyond the Electro Swing scene, he’s also an accomplished composer for film, TV, and games—bringing his cinematic instincts to every project he touches, making him one of the most versatile artists in the game today.
