Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown
Hiya,
Just wanted to congratulate the DJs at Showdown for an awesome event. The music was definitely top-notch!
I might've been too busy dancing to recognize everyone's DJing, but I remember being particularly impressed by Reuben, Tonya and Ryan. Setlists anybody?
And boy, the Diversity contest music had its moments!

Chance DJed a short set at the very beginning of the weekend as well, but most of the DJing was primarily Swifty and I.
I'll have to see how organized my files are before I post anything.
Best thing about The Varisty is the awesome sound system they have there. Balcony sized sound booth (with a door,) plenty of power, fully computerized lighting, the works. I was in love when I played an old recording and it sounded bright, crisp, and clear... yet with a distict sound as if it were being played straight off an original 78 on a high end turntable.
...that and the ability to turn the place into a Hollywood night club for Diversity.

I wound up spinning for something around 6 hours that weekend, I closed down all three nights. Posting set lists here would be ridiculous, but PM me if you want details -- I am pretty sure I have setlists broken down by day on my laptop at home. I'm glad folks had a good time. I was personally blown away by the live music, as usual.
PS: It was great getting to meet other SwingDJs members for the first time this past month.

I was dancing with kitkat at one point and she noted that it had to be you DJing, she knew your style (and seemed to like it of course).Swifty wrote:I wound up spinning for something around 6 hours that weekend, I closed down all three nights.

Just thought that was neat.

I could always tell when it was Swifty DJing as well...
...it was whenever I wasn't.
hahahahaha

Interesting. Maybe this belongs in the "Finding Your Voice as DJ" thread, but I'd actually love to hear how one describes my personal style. I'm feeling a little bit stagnant lately and am trying to figure out how to mix it up a little more, but I'm having trouble quantifying it myself.GemZombie wrote:I was dancing with kitkat at one point and she noted that it had to be you DJing, she knew your style (and seemed to like it of course).
