DJs

Mike Faltesek (Minneapolis, US)

Mike Faltesek doesn't so much consider himself a DJ as much as just a fan of swing music. All of his music was purchased to be for personal listening, so he does not own a single album he doesn't love. Mike's passion for original era swing music has brought him to DJ all over the world including winning DJ Competitions in MInnesota, Herrang, and most recently in Seattle at Camp Jitterbug 2005. Mike prides himself on playing a true variety of tempos, feelings, and recording dates while still playing music that he feels will tell you to SWING OUT.
