DJ Profile:
Claudia has been in the Melbourne Swing Scene for the last 9 years. She currently DJs fortnightly at CBD on Thursday nights and believes the main task of the DJ is simply to keep the dance floor full. She DJ's from an ibook nicknamed "The Fruit" but does not use set lists, as she believes playing to the mood of the floor on the night, at that moment is the key.
The key to a great night's music? Variety and diversification.
Favourite swing genres? Big band swing, blues (that's a music form not a speed), lounge.
Favourite track? Anything Ella.
Pet hates? The belief that each swing dance has its own kind of music.
