As a DJ, I first love to research the true energy of every song, to articulate them into a tanda that will tell you a story. When I play my selection, I like to lead you on a journey through your personal life experience, tanda after tanda, like day after day, emotion after emotion...

Alex first fell in love first with tango as a dance, shortly after, his passion for the music developed and he started to play tango music at milongas in New York in 2012 and later at local milongas and events in Beirut, Byblos, Riga, Istanbul, Budapest, Moscow and Saint Petersburg among other cities. He plays a variety of orchestras from the mid 20s till late 60s, with focus on managing dance floor energy and inspiring dancers.
His style is traditional and his philosophy is to give the dancers the chance to express themselves in every song and to enjoy the music (tandas and cortinas) when not dancing, allowing dancers with different style preferences to dance and explore from the start to the end of the milonga and usually even after.
