The Extravaganza
Let the sun shine and your booty swing.
We are honored to wrap the Mainkai Festival in gold as the final event of the series. The Electro Swing Collective takes the stage and brings back the time of prohibition for the biggest retro-tastic spectacle in town. We open our secret cabinet of curiosities for a glamorous world of gangsters, rapscallions, good-for-nothings, movie starlets and sex symbols. Pandora’s box opens, sounds of a long-forgotten time of black and white erupt and submerge in technicolor. Live instruments roar on stage while wild dancers move ecstatically to the jive. Mixing vintage and modern tunes, we create an exciting electro swing show. Unique, like you have never experienced before.
Forming as the Electro Swing Collective, Hesses greatest electro swing dj Timcat consolidates with Merle and Tobias Rüger to enact the most embellished extravaganza when it comes to hosting a party. To the sound of live violin performances, you’re gonna move your getaway sticks like there’s no tomorrow. Enjoy the fusion of the reverberating saxophone to the music of the show. As if that weren’t enough, Guiseppina Galloro with her show dance skills and Enea Caccia from the world of swing will provide your entertainment throughout.

The Electro Swing Collective
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. He mixes up to three tracks at the same time live with no prepared sets. Everything’s in the moment to feel the pulsating need of the crowd, until the beat drops and everyone loses their minds. 🎧🐈⬛
Merle from the Swing Bohème Orchestra will support us with live violin performances. For years they were a member of the chamber philharmonic orchestra Rhein-Neckar, exceeding in their joy for mastering the instrument. Now they live up to electronic music, having it tête-à-tête with Gypsy Jazz and Electro Swing. 🎻🦜
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. 🎷🦤
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 Enea Caccia from Italy, who learned his unique style by renowned Lindy Hop star Vincenzo Fesi. 💃🏻🦢 🕺🏿🦆
