Mr. Ben - Swing & Blues DJ He has close to ten years experience of filling soul, blues and swing dancefloors, and has played at blues festivals all over Europe.

Music for your mind and your b***y throught the ages from Blues and Swing to Soul, music that has the power to move both your body and your spirit

https://medium.com/ Hailing from the cold dark land of Sweden, Ben spent those long winter months bringing joy and warmth to the frozen feet of his compatriots with some classic soul tracks. Since moving to Israel, he has become a fixture

at all of Tel-Aviv’s Swing and Blues venues, where he delights in bringing the best old and new tunes for people to enjoy. Always amazed at the wonderful ways people react to the music he plays for them, you often see him dancing and grooving along while spinning the decks. Ben has a strong obsession with music, but despite many attempts, he is unable to play a musical instrument. Instead he channels that into DJing, dancing, and long arguments about music that don't really serve a purpose. He's especially passionate about all forms of blues, from the rural Delta rythm to that urban Chicago sound via the melting pot of New Orleans, and he knows that it has the power to move both your body and your soul like nothing else can. This is the feeling that Ben brings to the dancefloor, and with him on the decks you'll get a whole new appreciation for that old magic music called the blues.

How do we want the dance scene to look after the pandemic? It is time for us to stop cuddling in sterile studios and start partying!

I was listening to Jumpin’ Jive by Cab Calloway today (that’s a lie, I was watching a react video) and I was wondering “What the heck does “like your eggs on the Jersey side mean?!” The answer fascinated me and it reminded me of how disconnected we are from the culture in which swing was born.

So I decided to write a post digging into 5 phrases and titles that may not be obviously apparent.

Swing songs often have lyrics with meanings lost to the sands of time. Join in for some (amateur) cultural archeology!
