    The DJ Office

    Herräng, Sweden

    The place, the myth, and the legend. It's where some of the best DJs in the world are assembled, then put out onto the floors to keep everyone dancing till morning pancake during Herräng Dance Camp.

    It's also where music nerds hangout, nap, snack and drink out of disco ball cups with disco lights on.

    Arnas Razgūnas

    Lithuania

    By popular demand, he is China's favorite and he will rock you all night long, with music, during a short set, remotely, so no autograph signing.
    "DJing for jazz dancers online is pure press play action. No need to understand the mixer, no need to hide your Spotify. Easy, easy does it."

    Steven Coombe

    Shirt Tail Stompers bandleader.

    Sadly we won't be able to bring this amazing band and trumpeter Steven here, but we can sure get DJ Steven to show up and spin us some sweet tunes! He's just as fun on the internet as in person, come see the mini "Steven Coombe Show".

    Sam Carroll

    Australia

    Sam loves jazz. What type of jazz? Basie said it best: “Four solid beats to the bar and no cheating!” Sam DJs for lindy hoppers, and her usual goal is: manic crazed adrenaline junky party. The best men for that job are Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, and of course, in front of every good man is a good woman: Mary Lou Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, or Billie Holiday. Yes, Sam likes a big serve of meat and potatoes. Nothing complicated here.

    SuperHeidi

    AKA, Heidi Wijk

    Netherlands

    I'm here for all your swingin' pleasure, to make you sweat, put that happy grin on your face and not allowing your feet a rest. If you heard my tunes at my stompin ground in the Netherlands or elsewhere (like Snowball, Lindy Shock, Herräng, Lindy Focus, Balboa Castle Camp, Cal Bal or All Balboa Weekend) you know I'm having all the fun in DJing for any kind of swing dancer. My music tastes are pretty broad (try me!), but tell you what, the 1930s were really exciting!

    Check out her show on MixCloud!

    Guangzhou

    "I ain't got vocal,
    ain't got no instrumental,
    no Count recital.

    Floor packed dancers smile,
    for I rock you Dukish style,
    you just got 8 miled."

    Nicky (Contest DJ)

    Guangzhou

    表面“乖巧”,内心wild,正是她和她的DJ风格。她热爱于将音乐与舞蹈相辅相成,喜欢“玩弄”musicality,借助不同的音乐实现更多东西。希望所选的音乐在让大家舒心跳舞的同时,也能让大家找到更多创造空间。善于营造氛围,形成自身风格,经常在late night 时段带给大家惊喜,为各地舞者带来“红”式音乐。

    Gillian

    Guangzhou

    大湾区名媛DJ-Gillian, 喜欢收集好玩且令人享受的中高速音乐,且通过充满眼力见儿的观察,随时利用音乐调动现场舞者的心率指数,不想让任何的舞者落单,你不一定要跳swing,但你一定要摇摆起来!

    Gillian loves Jazz music and is keen on discovering music from different fields. The best part for DJing, is to observe the mood changes from dancers by playing different music and feel the same enjoyable moment.

    Momo

    Shenzhen

    "Hey Momo来了~因为热爱Jazz被带进了跳舞的世界,从来没想过自己还可以有穿上红舞鞋跳舞的魔法,但现在看来是真的啦~因为不满足跳舞带来的满足感,慢慢的又发现了DJ的世界,一个不爱技术,完全凭感觉的DJ。最喜欢的Artist是Benny Goodman,Fats Waller,当然不只喜欢老艺术家也同样愿意在舞会上和大家分享新的乐队~认为音乐是一种当时当下感知的表达,如果你喜欢Momo的音乐可以来找她跳舞聊天喝果汁儿"。

    Alice met Momo, who turned on the music and turn the ballroom into a rabbit hole. Alice fell in, and in she went, into the wonderland, the swing paradise.

    Kyle

    Shenzhen

    Like DotA, cheese and lindy-hop, but not necessary in that order. As a dancer, he has a thorough knowledge of what Lindy Hoppers enjoy dancing to; and is also accommodating to peoples' tastes.

    Jooooy

    Shanghai

    "我是Jooooy,也是上海的肝王舞者之一。因为对好音乐的分享欲,以及对舞池气氛的操控欲而着迷于DJ。如果你喜欢我的音乐,可以过来找我聊天儿,顺便监督我不溜下DJ台跳舞。"
