SwingDJs

I agree with trev.
In this book, they asked the Duke for a definition of Swing. Worth reading!

Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

There actually are a few songs I use for DJing - but only if the crowd is ready for it. I really like this version of 'Fiddle Dee Dee':

Yeah, I tested it. I really like the stylish design. The interface is pretty tidy and well-aranged but you don't have as nearly as many possibilities like in other tools. To be honest: I don't use 95% of the function, a program like Traktor offers, so djay Pro would probably do. The Spotify-Integrat...

I completely rely on digital media and I digitalized all of my CDs. In case of emergency, I always have a second device (smartphone) on my as a backup, if everything should fail.
Of course: You need to create a backup from time to time but honestly: It's not a really big deal

Let's revive this thread!

I recently played 'Gold On The Ceiling' by The Black Keys at a Lindy Hop party and turned the volume up a bit. The crowd went crazy

Hello there :) Finally, my new MacBook arrived (MacBook Pro 13', 8GB, 256GB SSD) and I'm really hot to start off again! My situation is the following: My pretty big music library backup was on an external harddrive. Which got stolen. So I started to DJ with Spotify Premium and I have to say: I just ...

Absolutely! Like 'Blitzkrieg Baby' by Una Mae Carlisle

Ok, guys: Thank you so much for all the good tipps! I think, I'll just wait for a few more days: Always at the end of the month, there's a special MacBook promotion happening who probably will decide, wehther I'm going for the Air or the Pro

@ SoundInMotionDJ: Ok... then I need to huryr up buy it before my 30th birthday... :D @ Jesse: The Air only comes with 2 USB connections, but in case of emergency, I can use a USB port replicator. Thanks for the tipps, this Traktor 2 thingie really looks nice. I still have some questions: I would pr...

Hello everybody I'm planning to buy a new laptop for DJing and the MacBook Air 13.3'' now striked my attention. As far as I can judge, it would fulfill my requirements: I would mainly need it for DJing and so I would go for the 256GB SSD. Does anybody have experiences with this device for DJing? Is ...

Certainly not an easy question...
As a DJ it doesn't really affect me since I never really played his tunes. But I also teach Lindy Hop and now I the consequence for me will be to not play Stevens Jitterbug Stroll anymore - to be honest, I never liked this song

Seven hells, that would be extremely useful to me and I'm sure to other newbies too!

And as you say, trev: There already are loads of similar pages and I joined a few. But I don't read them anymore and - at least for me - it's always the same reason: Updates happen very irregular and there are a lot of posts who are not really relevant for me. Speaking from a beginners view, maybe s...

That would be awesome! Currently, my biggest issue is, that I switched to Spotify. Here I'm still not able to display BPM and it lacks the modification possibilities I need (comment, rate, tag and so on). Additionally all the music will be gone, once I stop my subscription which kind of keeps me fro...
