Discount Basie I play music for swing dancing – mostly for Lindy Hop and Blues. I started to dance Lindy Hop in 2013, Blues in 2016.

As I'm a music nerd and I've been a DJ in clubs and bars since 2001 (playing mostly Punk, Indie, Northern Soul, Funk etc.), it was only natural to also dig deeply into music for swing dancing and to play it for dancers. Some dance events that I've been playing music at:
- Stay-at-home blues dance parties (8 editions so far)
- Bei mir bist Du schön (2 editions)
- Hülly Blues
- A Sunday kind of blues

In German: an interesting article about Big Mama Thornton.

Die Musikerin Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton brach Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts mit Genderstereotypen, trug Männerkleidung, wenn sie Lust hatte – und war die ursprüngliche Sängerin des Elvis-Hits Hound Dog.
