Music for Modern Blues

Our DJs are always on the lookout for music that is simply fabulous to dance to.


Music that makes you want to move, to sway, to shimmy, to whirl; or to pause, to hold the moment.


Music that will take your breath away - music that will have you grinning from the joy of the dance.


Music that will make you feel glad to be alive - and happy to be part of a shared moment of dance.


We're all different - and so we play all kinds of music at our freestyles and classes.


One moment a traditional blues song, another a chillout track, peppered with country and western and salted with modern R&B, with a side order of rock, 12 bar blues, a dash of latin, a soupcon of tango...


Our DJs have one instruction: play music that people want to dance to - fun, expressive, Bluesy, funky - yet totally danceable music.

Chris Izaak's 'Wicked Game' shimmers with slide guitar - the gentle yearning passion of the song gives a chance to play with musical punctuation: pauses, stretches and hesitations abound.

Kenny 'Blues Boss' Wayne brings out the piano-led classic 'Wild Turkey - 101 Proof' - nice and gentle with plenty of easy to spot breaks.

James Hunter's slinky 'The Hard Way' serves up some nice easy breaks to play with.

A loping bassline and a nice easy rhythm underpin Tom Jones' take on the classic '16 Tons' which offers plenty of chances to find the breaks. Hold your nerve for the long one!

'Stitched Up' finds Jazz giant Herbie hancock and Blues legend John Mayer collaborating on this bouncy track with plenty of well telegraphed breaks to play with..

Post Modern Jukebox and Ariana Savalas serve up a nice sexy slinky version of the classic 'No Diggity'. Lots to have fun with here.

'One Man Show' brings Ariana Savalas back with a nice smooth track with lots of sparkling piano and shimmering guitar work, sprinkled with breaks and space for punctuation.

Lauren Daigle's 'You Say' overflows with gospel tinged passion and has a wonderful lyric line line to follow to help shape your dance.

The instrumental version of 'My Immortal' by Evanescence adds a new twist to a dramatic track that rises and falls on its way to a dramatic climax, offering dancers plenty to work with.

'Apocalypse' by Cigarettes after Sex is a dreamy track with a funky backbeat offering plenty of chance to explore the different layers in the music.

John Mayer's version of "Free Fallin'" encourages dancers to play with the gradual rise and fall of energy within the music.

With just voice and piano through most of the song, John Legend's 'All of Me' brings the chance to work with the vocal shape of the song rather than the instrumentation.

'Take me to Church' by Hozier contrasts a sparse verse with a dramatic chorus, building and layering the song and giving chance to work with different layers of the song as it progresses.

Imelda May's Call Me is a slow, sultry track with a smooth, melodic vocal.

Black coffee & cigarettes - a tune with regular breaks that dancers can use to add dramatic punctuation to their dance.

A gentle introduction builds through to more energy to release travel and create contrast and drama in Alex Vargas' cover of Usher's "More"
