SwingDJs

Actually, I found some great songs on youtube from DCLX 2011. I ripped the audio off of Jonathan Stout's "Flying Home" (ironically) and it worked really well, particularly for a final.

Here it is:

Which version of "lying bone" is it? I haven't actually ever heard it before.

Yeah, that's about right. Probably closer to 180 than 240, honestly.

Re Live Bands: I wish. I may end up having to do two rounds and pick similar song types...

Hey all, I'm DJing a Lindy Hop competition in a few weeks, and the organizer wants their finals to be chorus and a half for each couple. With that times 7 couples, that comes out to be something like 11 choruses for one song, which could be anywhere from 6-8 minutes long. :shock: Have any of you fou...

Doesn't really matter. Whatever you want to suggest I'll look at.

Hey DJs, I've been asked to DJ a wedding in which they want romantic swing songs which are still danceable. Sad to say, I've never Dj'ed more than one or two, and I'm looking for some ideas. Because it's a wedding, I'm expecting to need a wide range of styles and danceable-ness. A few examples of wh...

Was it played from the Pink City Balboa Festival some years ago?

The latter. One that might break out at a high energy event

Man, you all would die if you came to Albuquerque. Our tuesday night dance features:

An endlessly, and dutch, long version of hit the road jack
Hip hop
Peggy Lee's "fever"
Jet
Jason Mraz
Mystikal
and most of the most terrible options from the neo-swing era.

Which I think is cool, it really gets the dancers connected to the groove of the song, to the other dancers, and to the crowd. C...

THanks. Great song!

The First one.

So I've been DJing for about four years now, but only local gigs, weekly dances, and some workshops. A few days ago I was invited to DJ at LOTR in Denver, which is awesome. I haven't ever DJed such a big event before, so I was just looking for some advice about things to expect, maybe some of the ma...

Thanks!

I wasn't entirely sure where to place this topic, but since it's about whether or not good music will be played, I figured here. I recieved a request from a DJ from up North named Richard Basi to play an upcoming event I'm running. I haven't heard of him, so I was wondering if anyone here has, and i...
