Put on your pinstripe suit and your best dancing shoes, because the "Electro Swing Essentials" DLC pack is here! It’s the perfect blend of vintage swing and Jazz with EDM, House, and Hip-Gop. Great vocals, catchy melodies, and a swinging beat that makes you want to dance!

What’s in the Electro Swing Essentials Pack:
We’ve put together 10 top tracks from some of Electro Swing’s big names and mapped each song from Easy to Master difficulties to ensure everyone gets to swing.

• “It Ain't Right” by PiSk
  
• “I Loved You Then” by Luke & The Belleville Orchestra
  
• “Light Up The Night” by Jamie Berry (feat. Octavia Rose)
  

Extra bonus: Look the part with new avatar “Violet” a 1920s cyberpunk flapper!

Then either purchase individually or as part of the Essentials Pack:

Multiplayer DLC Shared Play
We don’t want anyone to be left off the dance floor! So we’ve enabled a “shared play” feature for our DLC so you can #stayhome and play together. If you’ve purchased the DLC and you host a multiplayer room, anyone who joins your room will also be able to play those songs with you!

New Game Features

• Playlists: Organize your song library into playlists to make it easy to find the right songs when you want them. Playlists are also accessible in Multiplayer, so you can plan the perfect playlist for when your friends drop in.
  
• Room Adjust: Need to move your platform so you don’t knock over that precious antique vase while you play? You can now make in-game playspace adjustments using the Settings - Room Adjust menu.
  
• Practice Mode: Having trouble with part of a song? Get into Practice Mode by selecting the teacher’s hat icon next to the Play button. Use the slider to jump straight to the part of the song you need to practice. You can even set loop points to repeat a section and change the speed to help you perfect it.
  
• Playable Tutorial: If you’re new to the game, get started with the playable tutorial to learn the skills you’ll need to be a Synth Rider. Experienced play who wants to improve? There’s also an accuracy meter for rhythm mode and force gauge for force mode! You’ll find the Tutorial on the main game menu.
  

Design Changes & Bug Fixes

• Improved Multiplayer voice chat audio quality for PC-based players.
  
• Some changes around multiplayer room names, including simple filtering.
