Inviting
DJs of Argentine Tango Music to the first Chicago DJ “play-off” - Monday,
January 1, 2007 7:30 p – 11:30 a at the first milonga of the New Year at Mariposa ( 1813
W Byron St. , Chicago , IL ). The milonga will start at 7:00 p and continue until 1:00 a, but we are limiting the DJ-playoff to a shorter period to allow adequate time for voting.
We
will play the first 7-8 accepted
entrants in approximately half-hour segments during the evening. Each
DJ will be randomly assigned a unique
identifying symbol which will be displayed on the DJ booth while your music
is playing and on the ballot. On the ballot,
we will print a brief (maximum 5 sentences) description of your DJ-ing philosophy or other
non-identifying information. Voting will
take place at 11:30 p (altho’ dancers who leave earlier also may vote). The
winner, who need not be present, will receive a relevant gift certificate (e.g., to Zival’s).
All working or aspiring DJs are
eligible and welcome. This is your chance to test the popularity of your
regular mix or the dance-ability of music you might not have tried at your
milonga or to put together a selection of music you’d like to hear played at a
milonga.
To enter (i.e., the
fine print):

her at TangoLadyChicago at yahoo.com.Compile a CD with
approximately 30-40 minutes of

accepted. Each CD should have 1 or 2 “tango”, and 1 “Vals” and/or 1

contact information of the “DJ” as well as the DJ’s philosophy statement. Please

delivery. We will accept CDs on a
first come basis. The final deadline will be at milonga Nuestro Tango
