Andreas, you'd probably want to give Berlin a miss when I'm DJing at the  
major Friday and Saturday night milongas. If you really believe in stuff 
like "especially avoid playing a milonga tango right after romantic Caló", 
you'd hate it. I break at least three of your rules every night.

To anyone considering considering visting the milongas of Germany and the 
surrounds, please do not let this article put you off. I promise we have 
very few DJs who need a tango instructor's treatise to tell them "It is 
very useful to group the music in tandas".

Excellent DJs to look out for include (in no particular order) 
Michael Rühl, Garritt Fleischmann, Irma Gross, Daniel Montangero, Thorsten 
Zörner, Martin Omlin, Matias Valentin, Tommaso Fiorilli.

Late Pugliese instrumentals were popular a couple of years ago at the 
height of the nuevo fad. There has since been a market correction. ;)
