Alex Hawat / Lebanon

Alex has been, since 2012, dedicated to the art of tango DJing, focusing on enriching the milonga experience. My approach goes beyond mere music selection; it’s about crafting narratives that encourage every dancer to express themselves fully through each tanda and cortina. He strives for a seamless musical journey from start to end of his set, creating an atmosphere where music speaks to everyone, fostering a deep connection between the dancers and the rhythms of tango, bringing the essence of tango to life on the dance floor.

Bénédicte Beauloye / Belgium

Benedicte Beauloye, alias DJ Bomboncito, is playing tango music since 2015 and travelling all over Europe for the past 15 years. Along with Jens-Ingo Brodesser she developped "Tango Time Travel", a project that provides high quality digital transfers from restored original shellac and early vinyl records.

Francesco Cieschi / Italy

In the last twelve years he has worked and traveled in Europe, Asia and South America, collaborating with many prominent artistic personalities at the most important tango events. He is a recognized Tango DJ with international fame. Basing his sets on a repertoire of Golden Age hits, his knowledge of the music and understanding of the dancers, being himself a very active milonguero, enables him to produce energetic sets of enjoyment and passion.

Vincent van't Laar / Netherlands

Vincent van't Laar, as a social dancer, organizer and fanatic marathoner he is well aware of the important duty of the DJ to read the room for the required energy and to offer a coherent and flowing transition between the orchestras and singers of the 30s/40s. He performed as a DJ at marathons, festivals and milongas in Austria, Egypt, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Poland.

Melina Sedó / Germany

Melina Sedó is renowned for her finely tuned musicality and sensitive curation, her sets are a seamless blend of rhythmical, lyrical, and dramatic tandas. She crafts each set with care, weaving the unique energy of classical orchestras. Her approach reflects a deep understanding of social dancing and a heartfelt desire to give every dancer a voice on the floor. Her guiding principle? Keep the dancers smiling—and the floor full. She has been DJing since 2004 in local Milongas and from 2006 onwards in tango events, from Encuentros to Festivals, all across Europe and beyond often combining it with her work as a tango teacher.

Paulo Matos / Portugal

What to expect? Traditional tango music, mostly focused on the golden age (late 30s and 40s) with occasional deviations for earlier or later periods. Tango for him is a journey of search driven by deep feelings, a quest to match music and dance, a way to build connections between partners and the ronda. He has been playing in local milongas and international events in Portugal, Spain, Latvia, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Ukraine, Uruguay and South Korea.

Melina Sedó and Detlef Engel / Germany

Tango is walking in an embrace

For nearly 25 years, they have been spreading their unique approach to social tango across Europe and the USA. Known for their deep embrace, musical subtlety, and uncompromising commitment to communication and improvisation, they’ve inspired dancers far beyond the steps. Melina and Detlef teach both roles in all their classes, embodying tango’s full dialogue.
In 2013, they began training teachers; in 2015, they co-created a landmark Book+Film, now considered a go-to resource for those who want to learn – or teach – tango with intelligence, depth, and heart.
Though internationally recognized, they remain social dancers at heart. You’ll often find them on the floors of local milongas or international events, simply enjoying the music and connection.
