Re: What was your worst djing experience?

Hey all, I was curious what kind of horror stories you have from your dj sets. Not a DJ set as such, but I remember I was playing the music for a lindy hop dance demo I'd arranged at a local outdoor summer festival.

Online music affiliate programs - are they worth it?

I am just about to email someone a copy of a setlist for a DJ set I did a few months ago. I've been promising to do this for a while (one of the reasons it takes time is that I don't have Excel on my Mac and I need Excel to be able to make sense of the text file that iTunes exports).

Re: Blogpost on being a band break dj

Post is excellent, blog looks interesting: http://www.euclidsfifth.com/dj-101/the-band-break-dj/ Excellent blog and good article - thanks 8). I've found band breaks are usually great times to DJ. You normally have a "full floor" and the energy is high. I agree with Kyle's point about supp...

A Night At The Savoy at Herrang - Savoy First 10 Years

Note: I wasn't sure where to put this. It's not really about particular music but it's not about DJ Skills either, so I thought I'd put it here ... ==================== The Friday party at week 2 of Herrang this year was on the theme 'A Night At The Savoy' (meaning a night at the Savoy Ballroom in ...

Swedish 'Tax' label CDs now available for download

Just posted this on the eMusic thread, but realisiing some people don't necessarily look there, I thought this time it's worth posting separately. Amazon and eMusic have recently added loads of great CDs from the Swedish Tax label - under the 'Ancha' label. Should also be availabel from iTunes. Ther...

The first song is the theme from the Hellzapoppin Whitey's Lindy Hoppers routine (I believe it's just called Hellzapoppin). It's by Slim and Slam. I have a copy on the Complete Columbia Mastertakes, but it may be on other compilations. The first one contains the music from the famous Whitey's Hellz...
