Durres (Albania)
Yatma Diallo
Nato in Senegal, vive in Italia da oltre vent’anni. Le sue prime esperienze di ballo, a Dakar, appartengono al mondo della salsa e dell’hip hop, discipline che ha continuato a coltivare per molti anni. Nel tango, dopo le prime esperienze di studio in Europa con Monica Maria, attuale partner, trascorre un periodo a Buenos Aires per approfondire gli studi raggiungendo, in pochi anni, interessanti riconoscimenti professionali.
Come TDJ, forte anche di una solida formazione professionale come tecnico del suono, ho lavorato in milongas ed eventi internazionali in Italia, Olanda, Stati Uniti.

Greg Demerville
Greg non è solo un DJ. È anche un host, organizzatore e costruttore di comunità. Potresti aver scoperto il luogo che ha creato per il tango, al confine tra Belgio e Francia.
La musica di Greg riflette il suo carattere e la sua storia. Creativo, dinamico, molto concentrato sulla pista da ballo: ogni set è costruito al momento. Gli piace trovare l’energia collettiva portata dai ballerini del giorno e giocare con questa energia per portarci alla fine dell’ultima nota.
Greg attraversa i confini: la sua musica trova il suo posto tanto negli Encuentros (Vilnius, Warm Embrace, la Cita, Metz…) quanto nelle maratone (New Year party -El corte, Köln, Bendito, las hormigas swizerland, World Congress, Tango salsa, Nantes, Bal Tout Terrain, Totally in Tango…).
Greg is not just a DJ. He is also a host, organiser and community builder. You may have discovered the place he created for tango, on the borders of Belgium and France.
Greg’s music reflects his character and history. Creative, dynamic, very focused on the dancefloor: each set is built in the moment. He likes to find the collective energy brought by dancers of the day, and play with this energy to take us to the end of the last note.
Greg crosses borders: his music finds its place as much in Encuentros (Vilnius, Warm Embrace, la Cita, Metz…) as in marathons (New Year party -El corte, Köln, Bendito, las hormigas swizerland, World Congress, Tango sauce, Nantes, Bal Tout Terrain, Totally in Tango…).
Antonio Rufo
Milonguero and DJ from Seville (Spain), organizer of La Milonga del Sábado since 2011 and resident TDJ of Milonga TransiTango from 2012 to 2020.
As a TDJ, he is a regular guest at different events held throughout the national territory and in different countries in Europe, such as Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Portugal, the United Kingdom…
His musical selections combine the music of traditional orchestras with a preference for the golden age; All aimed at creating and maintaining good energy on the dance floor at all times, obsessed with ensuring that the milonguero atmosphere never declines and that the dance floor is full of milongueros at all times.He likes to play in each milonga with the energy that comes out of the dance floor through the dancers… trying to combine the different styles and orchestras so that that energy is maintained throughout the milonga.
Playing with energies, looking for the counterpoint from one style to another and from one orchestra to another.

Jens-Ingo Brodesser
Fashions come and go! At a DJ-set I try to catch the mood of the moment by observing the dancers and translate this feedback into the tanda. Diversity and changing impulses are the keywords. I like to think of colours and shapes like when you paint a picture. You start at a certain point and let the whole thing evolve. Maybe you tell a story, maybe you are abstract but the most important is that you express something through the music you play and that you make the people dance!
On special occasions I do DJ-sets from my vinyl collection, without using a computer but with the same high standards as if I would. The pure analog sound has a magical effect on the dancers. This is related to how the music was recorded during the Golden Age: direct-to-disc. A great deal of the emotions we feel while dancing to these recordings derives from this circumstance! Sanju Chiba puts it best: ‘For me, listening to analog music makes me peaceful and relaxed.’
