Tango is about connection. That's what I try as a DJ. To connect to the dancers and feel a part of the audience.  Tanda rules are ONLY to serve this connection. 

My favourites are far beyond epoca d'oro, which makes the main part of my playing though. I adore guardia vieja, as late Troilos or – rarely – some modern orchestras playing classic tango sound. In special mood I throw in a tanda with songs from other parts of the space time. 

Playing music in milongas started when establishing my local tango community 2005. I mainly DJ in milongas around Finland, but also internationally. I play traditional music from late 20-ies to mid 50-ies and I play in classical tandas with cortinas, trying also to give special attention to the cortinas.

I see the milonga as an event where people come together to dance, but also to socialize. I try to build my set to be rewarding for the dancers and to grow more intensive towards the end of the milonga. I think that the DJ is there for the dancers, and I enjoy DJ’ing most when I feel that the communication with the dancers works and the atmosphere is good.

I love music that inspires dancing. Music, with energy, that evokes emotions. Constantly in search of new discoveries in the world of tango music that encourage the mood of the pista. The focus is on the 40s, but happy with the excesses of previous and recent decades. I have been playing for different arrangers since 2014.

I approach every gig as a new aquaintence. You start by small talk, crack a few silly jokes, then gradually share stories of adventure, excitement, drama, passion, heartbreak, regrets... all those feelings you can experience in tango! 

​

I love traditional tango, stay mostly in the 40's, but venture back into the early 30's for those glorious guardia vieja tunes, and occasionally to the 50's and 60's for d'Arienzo and Pugliese.

I've been a DJ since 2015, I DJ in Stockholm and in Europe, at milongas, encuentros and marathons. In Stockholm I co-organise a double role milonga and queer and double role marathon Alma de Bohemia. 

Ever since I started dancing tango in 1991 I am addicted to tangomusic. Even more so since I seriously began DJ-ing around 2006. I am one of the resident DJ’s in Scala (Eindhoven) and play at different milongas, marathons and encuentros, mostly but not only in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.  

I always choose my music from a dancers perspective. Play music to serve the crowd, keep them inspired and in a dancing mode. The choice of music depends on the mood of the event and the dancers. The rich treasure of tangomusic offers plenty of opportunity to vary from rhythmic to more lyrical and romantic. I like to play with the cortinas as a reset or connecting element. My finest feedback is a filled dancefloor and a smile (sonrisa) on the faces of the dancers. That’s my drive.
