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.
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.
Adrienn is one of the most popular Djs in Budapest, her popularity lays on her easy going stye and flexibilty that is reflected in her setlists as well. Upon need she spices up her sets with nuevo/alternative tandas with a good taste that even skepticals can enjoy. She chooses the classicals with the same good and colorful taste, making a balance between rhythmical and melodical tandas from the golden age thru to the '60-70s. If there is a party time you can definitely count on her!
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 evenings, 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. I am organizer and DJ of the Budapest based castle milonga which is said to be among one of the most beautiful milonga venues of Europe.
DJ Balázs Gyenis (Hungary) - Pre-Milonga DJ
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".
