SwingDJs

Baby - I still hear several of these songs played regularly in Seattle, although usually at venues you don't frequent that often. However, I have heard you play O.P's Moten Swing occasionally [part of your limited groove selection ;-) ] Haha. You must be thinking of "Easy Does It". I have...

Dude, that is awesome. I have always told you that you are one of my favorite dj's but for some reason you don't dj much. Okay, the next time you are in Seattle, I am going to make you dj. I am so proud, great job Peter. I knew that Madame Dynamite would tip the scales. I dj that all the time since ...

I started djing in 1997...ah, the neo years, there was something kind of innocent and exciting about those times.

Jitterbug Club is proud to announce... The Camp Jitterbug 5 year Anniversary Memorial Day Weekend May 28th-31st Seattle, Washington **Even though Reuben will be djing at this event, don't let that keep you from coming. We will keep him locked up when he isn't in the dj booth. :twisted: This year, we...

oh boy! Sean just got me the total hook up for my xmas present this year so I can dj on my laptop. He got me the higher end version of pcdj software, a 120gb external hard drive to store everything and an external soundcard. Now I am going to spend the next month downloading all of my cds and organi...

Thanks Julius and Jesse...your posts have really helped me out to think of things a little differently. Sorry to put my personal dj issue on the forum, I just thought it was great way to get a lot of advice from fellow dj "experts"...thanks everyone!

Great Kevin, I am happy to hear that.

I agree with just about every viewpoint...here is another side of it though. I have so many people come up to me after I dj down here and thank me profusely for djing old school lindy hop music cause they don't get to hear it often enough. There are a lot of dancers that really appreciate my djing s...

Wow...cool topic. I think it is so ironic like Mike was mentioning, that playing classic swing (aka lindy hop music) is considered a "niche". I love old music cause it IS lindy hop music. I have been frustrated lately cause I feel like I get pressured to mix in "groove" music (wh...

"And the Century pays all Djs - there is a minimum rate that new DJs get which I think is pretty good - I wanted to defend the Century on this point since I think they go out of their way to treat the DJ as professional staff; besides getting paid you get dinner and 2 drinks, plus admission.&qu...

I agree with this...if a venue is making money, they should totally pay their dj's something...even if it is a trade. It just seems disrespectful or like they are taking advantage of them. The DJ's ARE the ones providing the music for the dancers to dance to...I know it is hard to keep a swing venue...
