Timcat fusions melodies and sounds of the swing-era with todays modern beats. Just the best that Electro Swing has to offer with a mix of saxophone-based EDM for the perfect flair. Only the finest music gets served on the turntables to satisfy your hunger for good music. Doesn’t matter if you dance Lindy Hop, Charleston or Shenanigans. Just indulge yourself.

Merle from the Swing Bohème Orchestra will support us with live violin performances. For years she was a member of the chamber philharmonic orchestra Rhein-Neckar, exceeding in her joy for mastering the instrument. Now she lives up to electronic music, having it tête-à-tête with Gypsy Jazz and Electro Swing.

Giuseppina Galloro is a primeval rock of swing dance. She incarnates bygone vigor and vintage elegance with her retroescic fable since 2014. Her specialization in Lindy Hop, Charleston, Solo Jazz, Tap Dance, Balboa, Shag and Peabody shines bright on stage for a great variety of stunts. From her group Swing Jets she’ll be supported by Stuart Mitchell.

Tobias Rüger from the german jazz band „Die Schwindler“ is supporting us with live saxophone performances. Dedicated to master the most saxy instrument of them all, he was traveling for the Goethe Institut and working as musical director for Frankfurter Kammeroper and Schauspiel Frankfurt. He fusions his sound to the music, reverberating in fabulous elegance and climaxing to the sound of the Roaring Twenties.
