Weekender DJ's
Our DJ’s
For all our Weekender’s, We have 3 Resident DJ's and also handpick DJs who bring their own unique musical voice to the dance floor. Each of them has a distinct style and flair, curating tandas for the traditional room and world music for the Alt/Nuevo room with deep sensitivity to the dancers and to the flow of the evening.
Our traditional DJs are specialists in the rich traditions of the Golden Age, weaving classic tango, vals, and milonga into a seamless journey. Our Alternative/nuevo DJ’s bring a fresh perspective with their expertise in Alternative and Nuevo tango, creating spaces where dancers can explore new textures, rhythms, and moods.
Together, across 2 rooms, they form a formidable line-up that celebrates both the heritage and the evolution of tango, ensuring every milonga is vibrant, inspiring, and unforgettable.
We strive to bring you the ‘best of both worlds’ from home grown talent to International talent to unfold a musical dream that will last in your memory forever.
