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.
