DJ’s
In the Encuentros I organise, you might dance to the musical choices of one or more of the following TDJ’s.
TDJ Igoris Igoris Saburov.
“I love all tango music. In milongas I prefer to play music of Golden Era, although I am not categorical and try to feel the interest of the dancing people. I was DJ-ing in Belarus(Minsk), Belgium(Bruges , Mouscron , Antwerp ), Estonia( Tallinn ), France(Paris ), Germany (Kehl), Italy(Bolzano , Noci ,Merano , Reggio Emilia ,Turin,Milan) , Latvia (Riga, Jurmala ,Jumurda), Lithuania(Vilnius, Kaunas, Panevezys, Nida, Palanga, Klaipeda, …), Poland (Warsaw,Torun, Olsztyn ) , Portugal (Lisbon ), Russia( Pskov, Moscow ) and Spain(Nerja) in different Tango events.”
TDJ Jack Rombauts
The Organizer of Encuentro Boca Antwerp, Sélys Milonguero and Milonga Milonguera Nieuw Kwartier in Antwerp. In the 20 years of Tango dancer, he evolved to the Milonguero style. He is TDj for more than 10 years, playing sets at Milongas, Festivals and Encuentros in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
He always chooses danceable energetic feel-good music from the Golden Age Orchestras and always in function of the dancers on the pista.
DJ Toine “21”
“Whatever your mood, there is always a tango that suits it perfectly”
As a DJ, I think like a dancer, trying to create the perfect dynamics and flow, play with styles, vary the orchestras and singers from the rich world of tango music to inspire the dancers.
Even the cortinas have their function…. They are not just a break, but a bridge to a new dance adventure.
I strive for the energy and dynamism I felt in BA’s milongas.
As a teacher, I’m always concerned with the impact of music on dance, as a DJ. Around 2000 I started to DJ irregulary at local salons all-over Holland. Since 2015 I DJ frequently aas well t encuentros and bigger events in the Netherlands and abroad.
“It’s all about happy dancers, inspiring them with the music to make them want to get up and dance”
TDJ Marinella Pucci
“Marinella is a multifaceted artist who manages to combine various expressive forms in her path, always remaining faithful to the idea of an art that is a witness to the spirit of its time.
When she is musicalizing, she manages to give her sensitivity as an artist, with the same force as when she paints, makes choreographies, or dances. Dancing tango is not referring to steps and figures but to feeling – it is a wonderful communication that has to do with something deep, and essential, that can occur between a leader and a follower in tune with music and lyrics.
“As a tango DJ, I wish to contribute to this magical communication by proposing the suitable tanda selection.”
DJ Andreas Gierstorfer
As a DJ Andreas wants to enchant the dancers, so that the entire dance floor moves to the music as one. His favorite music is from the golden era, no surprise here. It’s the one that makes him want to dance most strongly. But there are also pearls to be found before and after! He takes great care constructing his tandas. From big festivals to very small intimate milongas, every set is a unique challenge. Andreas does have a weak spot for beautiful melodies. He wants the necessary rhythm and compas to be accompanied by them. Biagi is incredible in combining all of these! Same with early Pugliese and Di Sarli. Among others…
TDJ Mauro Maurillo Volpato
His musical tastes are oriented towards the traditional Tango of the 30s – 40s, better if sung, but in his baggage there is also the Tango of the 50s and beyond, careful to recognize the dominant preferences of the venue and the dance floor in order to satisfy them.
He began his activity as a TDJ in 2000. Since then he has continuously performed music, in the major milongas of Northern and Central Italy and abroad, in Enquentros milongueri and Festivals, offering impeccable professionalism in the evenings which are never “work” evenings but opportunities to share his research and his in-depth study, in short, all his passion for Tango.
DJ Marie Jeanne Sylvie
“Tango discovered me in 1995 and I have been a passionate, traditional tango DJ since 2002. I started in my home base of Ghent and now DJ in all Flemish cities, Brussels, Lille, Aachen, Copenhagen, etc.
As a DJ, I try to seduce, inspire and surprise the dancers with my tandas from the late 20s to the early 50s with occasional contemporary interpretations. I mix romantic, rhythmic and lyrical tandas with surprising cortinas, taking into account the energy and flow of the dancers.”
DJ Bart Wijgergangs (Sonrisa), Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Ever since I started dancing tango in 1991I am addicted to tangomusic. Even more so since I began DJ-ing around 2006. I am one of the resident DJ’s in Eindhoven and mostly play in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, including marathons and encuentros. 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 experience of 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 cortina’s 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.
TDJ Christian Beyreuther
Tango is life – and life is evolution!
For many years I have accompanied the development of tango as a DJ, dancer and organiser. I have already organised over 200 milongas in Germany and gained valuable experience in organising unforgettable tango evenings. I took my first steps as a DJ many years ago in Italy, together with a friend at our own milonga – there I learnt the art of musical storytelling from scratch.
My musical journey has taken me to milongas, marathons and encuentros in Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, France, Spain and Belgium, where I regularly DJ. My style is 100% traditional – characterised by a deep feeling for the energy of the dance floor and the dynamics of a successful evening.
As a DJ, I attach particular importance to a harmonious dramaturgy that inspires the dancers and carries the flow of the evening. I look forward to creating unforgettable tango moments with my music!
TDJ Joost Brunsting
Tango music is my passion. Many visits to Buenos Aires have given me much more inspiration. My heart is with the Época de Oro; it is very satisfying to play the best tangos from this period (and also quite a few rare and surprising gems). I am regularly DJing in The Netherlands and Germany, including Tango Festivals & Encuentros.
My DJ set consists of a richly varied mix of energetic and sensitive, romantic tandas. In doing so, I follow the mood and taste of the dancers. From the first to the last tanda they get the right energy. Combined with carefully chosen, lively cortinas, each milonga becomes a FIESTA!
For the best sound experience I use quality recordings, such as: CTA, AMP, TTT, CT and TT.
