Crispy Tunes for Swing Dancers & Aficionados
(German Text below)
The first time I DJ‘ed for the local Swing scene was 2006 in Zürich Oerlikon. Primarily I did it for myself: this way I could listen to my preferred music.
What began as a hobby became more and more a profession. I still pursue my primary intention to only play the music I like most and which seduces me to dance!
Meanwhile I‘m DJ‘ing at different international Swing workshops and events and also at events outside of the dance scene, such as „Prohibition Night“, „Sorriso di Mafia“ etc. and anywhere there is a need for original music from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Deutscher Text:
2006 habe ich in Zürich Oerlikon für die lokale Swingszene zum ersten Mal Musik aufgelegt. Das war natürlich auch eigennützig: so konnte ich die Musik hören, die ich selbst besonders mag.
Was als Hobby begann ist mehr und mehr zu einer professionellen Tätigkeit geworden. Geblieben ist die Maxime, nur Musik zu spielen, die mich auch selbst beschwingt und die mich zum Tanzen verführt!
Inzwischen bin ich an verschiedenen internationalen Workshops und Events in der Swingszene engagiert, aber auch an Anlässen wie „Prohibition Night“, „Sorriso di Mafia“ etc. ausserhalb der Tanzszene. Überall dort, wo Originalmusik aus den 1920er bis 1950er Jahren gefragt ist.
