That's what long cortinas (1 minute or longer) are
for.

As for the DJ, that kills the milonga with a milonga +
latin break.   Is the milonga still around?

Good DJs control the build up of the atmosphere in a
milonga as the night progresses, building up intensity
and then letting it relax, and then up again until it
hit a peak at the "optimum" hour.  To me, the optimum
hours of the 9-12:30 milonga is somewhere between
10:30 to 12:00.  If the best dancing hour is broken up
by a long break, you probably won't see me there much.
