[Tango-L] Daniel Borelli in Buenos Aires milongas

[Tango Tango]

I dunno, Chris.

It was loud as heck at NB last Thursday. I think Mario sits too far away to
get an idea of how loud it really is if you sit at the perimeter of the
floor.

As a matter of fact; I've never seen him get out of his booth and walk down
to the floor to check the sound. All DJs should walk onto the floor
periodically to check the sound and volume. All good sound technicians do
this and it's a practice the DJs should adopt too.
