DJ Balázs Gyenis (Hungary)
Balázs prefers rhythmic and emotionally charged music from the Golden Age but as a DJ he plays an overall balanced repertoire with an eye on dynamic variation between tandas and consistency within them. Balázs also produces the online tango radio station http://argentinetangoradio.com (which currently has around 120.000 listeners each month) and the podcast series "Danceable Tangos of the Year". Balázs is a popular international tango DJ in Europe, and a DJ and organizer at the Milonga de Mis Amores in Budapest.
DJ Jason Jiang (Canada / China)
A deejay based in Toronto, Canada, Jason is passionate about tango music from Golden Age, offering a wide range of music to generate the most rewarding and inspiring dancing experience for tangueros. He collects and owns some of the best 78 RPM transfers tango music currently in the world including CTA, AMP, Audio Park and Tangotunes. His selection of music is characterized by dynamic and sensation of dancers, dictated by the energy flow on the dancing floor. He deejays and compiles tandas “on-the-fly” at the milonga, using only the best fidelity and professional sounding quality tracks of recordings.
DJ Antónia Nagykáldi (Hungary)
What I love most of all in tango: harmony with my partner, expressing the style and fine details of the music and playing. As a tango DJ from the beginning (2008) I always aim to interpret these values, because for me dancing and DJ-ing are connected closely. I choose pieces for my tandas mostly from Golden Age and some of Guardia Vieja and Post Golden Age period, too. I compile the music to keep the energy up, as well as the flow on the dance floor. I never forget about my most important way of choosing music: it must be danceable and besides this: interesting enough to keep people dancing. Since 2008 I DJed at many Marathons, Festivals, Milongas and other tango events in a lot of European country. I am resident DJ and organizer of the Milonga sin Palabras, the oldest still in operation milonga in Budapest.
DJ Max Marzano (Italy)
I am a very traditional Tango Dj, my style reflects my great passion for traditional tango, trying to convey the spirit of “Milongas Portenas” every time. I am an active Musicalizador, playing music regularly in some of the main Milongas in Rome, as well as all around Italy and abroad in Europe and in the world during Tango events, Festivals and Marathons. About my performance: "...a set needs to have a structure and needs to fit together. At the same time, music needs to vary during the night, so it never gets boring and never repeats itself..." My tandas selections are made through the Golden Age of tango, Vieja Guardia, as well as from the '50s.
DJ Endre Szeghalmi (Hungary)
I’m in love with tango music, as a DJ and as a dancer. I’ve been to Buenos Aires two times, the second time I spent more than 7 months there. During that time I attended many different styles of tango events, and paid good attention to what factors make for a great dance evening. Moving from tanda to tanda, I choose my music carefully according to time period, orchestra and atmosphere. In Budapest I am organizer and DJ of the Milonga Jueves and the Castle Milonga which is said to be one of the most beautiful milonga venues of Europe.
DJ Mogyorósi Dénes (Hungary)
The harmony to enjoy in a milonga by the embrace with my partner and by the music is valuable to me as a dancer as well as a tango DJ. I like when the dancers will able to experience various feelings by the music what I play, mostly joy, playfulness, sometimes deep feelings also. That type of musical waves can give us such an uplifting experience what may remain with us in the everyday life also after the milonga. |
