For over 8 years now, we are DJing for Swing dance and other social events with original records from the 1920-1950ies. The warm, crispy sound of the original records creates a very special atmosphere.
Without our dear friend Stephan Wuthe, we’d possibly never have tried – but here we are now, with a not-so-small collection of great, dancy records that we occasionally bring with us, together with our hardware equipment, to play the music of the days with the unique sound of original records.
What makes a 78rpm records so special?
– they are old, i.e. from the 1920-1950ies
– they are typically made from Shellac, a very hard, resistent material that – in comparison with vinyl – breaks easily
– they turn rather fast on your turntables 🙂
– the sound information on a 78rpm is unique. Provided you have the right equipment, you have far more sound information that leads to a fuller, better sound. The crackles you typically hear are often due to the age as such, the usage of the records and sometimes the equipment.
– you will find only one song on each side.
