Basically what they call electro swing today is a normal electro or house track that sporadically contains samples lifted from 30's swing recordings. There's not much you have to think of, it's quite simple. If you want to make actual swing in an electronic setting, you should study the masters of old and of new, and probably have a band that can perform. Much electro swing is actually just porn groove from the future.
Cheers!

From what I'm hearing in this playlist - in your house track replace your synths with sax and piano.

I thought that electro swing was cool as an idea for a handful of electro songs. But why did they a whole genre out of it and made it unbearable?

Yah it got destroyed big time. Some people try and make swing electro (which is basically swing combined with electronic elements), but it's not very much what people want to hear... They like the dull repetitive electro beats with a bit of ella's voice and a cymbal hit from 37...

I don't want to judge about taste of music but it really bothers me when people grab an idea and ride it to death. :D

Well I wouldn't say it was ridden to death, it was just flooded with people who had no idea about swing. Anyway... It don't mean a thing...

Here's an electro swing tutorial. It's in German, but I think you can still get the basic idea even if you don't understand all the puns:
