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 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.

DJ Jonas Maria (Austria / Germany)

In everything that I’m doing, I put my whole heart and soul. I love it when my selection of tango music energizes the dancers – like throwing out sparks – and they feel supported by it. It’s my passion. Music comes from my heart and is transported to the dancer’s heart. I feel intuitively whether I reach them and adapt accordingly. While DJing I follow one simple rule – music must keep the dancers on the dance floor. I was DJ on festivals, marathons and milongas in Europa.

DJ Hayssam Hoballah (France / Morocco)

Hayssam Hoballah is an international tango DJ based in Paris. Acclaimed for his sensitive yet powerful track sequencing, he is notorious for rarely knowing more than a track or two in advance what he is going to play next... Deeply connected to the beat of the floor, the emotional flow of his picks are an open invitation for dancers to connect to themselves. And to one another.

DJ Adrienn Csengeri (Hungary)

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!

DJ Róbert Kovács (Hungary)

I am a DJ-dancer or dancer-DJ, one followed by the other. From the beginnig the tango music magnetized me during dancing. I felt the passion to search for and discover more and more beautiful music and voices which undeservedly very rarley played on milongas. I play them in a good balance together with the well-know onces to give a fresh but pleasureful experience to the dancers, so also I feel the need of dancing. I play very traditional music to let the audience enjoy the real tango gems.
