Fredrik Agell 
/SE - has been DJing since 2008, foremost in Stockholm, where he lives, but lately at different tango events all over Sweden and in Europe. He presents himself thus:
If the DJ plays for the dancers and not for the tango music geeks, then the dance floor will be full, which for sure is the best sign that the DJ is doing a good job. I usually play energetic, cheerful tangos at the start of a milonga, to create atmosphere, and spend a lot of time looking for cortinas: well known upbeat songs, which boost the energy and make the dancers feel they are having a good time at a great party, with friends and foreigners alike. When the party is on, it’s important to keep up the energy. Later on, it might be the right decision to play more complicated songs. But never two tandas in a row with low-energy-music or drama: in that case, the milonga will die. And, fingers crossed: who will sit or leave, when they hear the top golden age songs from D’Arienzo’s or Di Sarli’s orchestra”.

 

Pino Dangiola /SE  - is Sweden's most well-known tango DJ, and dancer. Pino has been DJing since 1994. In the early days, the cassette decks were used. This time he´ll be playing VINYL!

Malek Belaidi /FR - His musical selection draws on his experience as a tango dancer for over 15 years, both at Encuentros Milongueros and European Marathons.

His tandas are joyful and playful, intense and emotionally charged, whether through music or vocals, primarily from the golden age of tango, with frequent detours to the Guardia Vieja and the 1960s.

 

Diego Calarco/AR - ""I've been involved with tango for over 30 years, and my passion has always remained the same. I couldn't live without tango; it's an unconditional love. It's not just about dancing, which is my profession, but about a philosophy of life that I take with me everywhere I go."
