Interesting...

I've just returned from a festival which had a DJ from the dance school 
you mention. He seems a really nice guy, but I have to say the first 
night's DJing was the amongst the very worst I've ever heard at an 
international tango event. Both in music selection (I cannot recall before 
hearing so much non-dance tango played at a festival ball) and the 
structure, such as long runs of tracks by the same orchestra but broken by 
change of rhythm e.g. tango switching to vals. The low point was a tanda 
of dire Tango for Export milongas that cleared the floor entirely... 
except for one couple: the DJ himself, and partner.

The second night might have been better, but I couldn't bear to stick 
around to find out.

However, I have been lucky enough to encounter one good DJ from the same 
place - Andreas - and I look forward to dancing to his music again.

Chris
