"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 Dénes Mogyorósi (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.

DJ Manuel Antonio de Medina (Spain)

He is a lover and student of Tango, which he enjoys in several facets: dancing, musicalizing as a DJ, disseminating its culture and history and photographing as an amateur some tango events. In his facet of Tango divulgator he has a YouTube channel also.
It was this interest in the study of the classic tango orchestras that led him to dedicate himself to musicalization, becoming a regular DJ in the different milongas organized by the "Casa del Tango de Sevilla", as well as in other milongas and events in Seville and the rest of Andalusia. He has also performed as a DJ in Lagos (Portugal), Paris, Madrid and Lisbon. He has successfully DJ-ed in two editions of the reference Tango festival Workshop Milonga Sevilla, where he has shared the console with great European and Argentinean musicians.
His repertoire revolves around the orchestras of the 40's, making incursions in the 30's and 50's, without disdaining modern orchestras, which he considers the living Tango of today. He likes to maintain a lively dynamic in the milonga where very energetic tandas are combined with romantic and dramatic ones that intensify the embrace and the tango feeling.

DJ Anita Ludányi (Hungary)

Tango found me and I was lost in it forever. For me, tango is passion, love, creativity, communication without words, joy and happiness. As a DJ, it is important for me to play danceable, interesting and lovely music to create an atmosphere of happiness and good energy on the dancefloor. I belive that well-chosen cortinas play a very important role in DJing. It makes me happy when I'm DJing and I see people dancing happily and joyfully in the Ronda.
