I can't believe it myself. But I promise, there will be even more 🙂

Now let's listen to our Song of the Week:

Battle Of Swing

Last week, I've been to The Snowball in Stockholm and on the last evening, Skye Humphries was spinning a set.

After he played “Battle Of Swing” and danced himself to it, I asked him for the title.

He then said that he danced to it for the first time that it's probably a better song listening to it than dancing to it.

Well, the dance floor was packed and no-one complained about.

I like it! It's for sure not an easy song to dance to but it's definitely an interesting one.

Title: Battle of Swing
Artist: Duke Ellington & His Orchestra
Recorded: December 19, 1938
Tempo: 220 bpm
Dance: Lindy Hop, Balboa

You can find all the songs of the series also on my Spotify playlist.
