-----------------------------------------------

Tango 59° puts great emphasis on the quality of its DJs, something  
which to us is an absolutely central factor in making the milongas a  
superb experience for all tango dancers. Therefore, we are very proud  
to be able to present to you someone who undoubtedly is the most  
respected and well-known Argentine tango DJ in the world - MARIO  
ORLANDO.

Mario is undoubtedly the most famous tango DJ in the world. He plays  
regularly in all the most prestigious and well-known milongas of  
Buenos Aires, but also in a number of underground and alternative  
places.

He very rarely travels to DJ outside of Buenos Aires. Therefore, it  
is a very great pleasure to have him DJ at two of the late-night  
milongas of Tango 59° Stockholm City.

This is a rare opportunity to meet and dance to the music of a true  
DJ legend - one who defines the art of tango DJ:ing, but who rarely  
if ever appears outside of his native Buenos Aires.


The DJ lineup also features:

* DJ Riku Kotiranta (Gothenburg)

Riku came to the Argentine tango through the music, which, he says,  
made it inevitable that he eventually would take up DJ:ing. Riku is  
well-known for playing danceable music no matter the style, be it  
traditional Golden Age, which he prefers, or tango electronico, which  
he also enjoys. He describes his tastes as eclectic, but his choice  
of music is always organic and musical. It is always a pleasure to  
dance to Riku's selection of tango music. He has also appeared as a  
DJ in Copenhagen and on Iceland.


* DJ Peter Bengtson (Stockholm)

Peter Bengtson is one of the most active and appreciated tango DJ:s  
in Scandinavia. A trained musician and internationally active  
composer, his emphasis is on danceability, nerve and flow, and he  
definitely favours the traditional tango music (in contrast to his  
professional work as a composer, which is avant-garde). He finds  
tango DJ:ing much similar to composing — although with 3-minute  
building blocks rather than individual notes. He is also one of the  
arrangers of Tango 59° Stockholm City.
