Midsummer Tango Marathon

Our DJ’s

There’s most often space for a contemporary orchestra during her golden age sets. Danceable, consistent in theme and hand picked with love like all the other tandas.

Jenni represents the one-person tango community of her hometown Huittinen in southern Finland. Since starting with tango over 15 years ago she’s been an active member around in the Finnish tango scene as an organizer of many milongas and events. Djing started very innocently parallel to establishing a new milonga but it soon grew into a more serious activity and a great source of joy along the dancing itself. As a DJ she’s traditional, giving special attention to the most central Golden Age orchestras and catchy cortinas. She’s a frequent DJ in milongas and events around Finland and has also enjoyed invitations to events widely in Europe.

“I have been DJing since 2015, playing regularly at the main milongas in Oslo.
My goal when DJing is to create the right mood with a balance of energy and emotion. I play music that I love, and always improvise during the set.
My heart belongs to traditional tango, mainly from the golden age. Favourite orquestas are Troilo, Pugliese and D’Arienzo”

Janne Ranne has been dancing tango since 2004 and DJing since 2016. Janne is best known for his blend of party cortinas and Golden Age tango. He was among those who struck the first beats of Tango Frostbite festival and also one of the organizers of legendary Tangosauna marathon.

“My musical selection reflects my deep affection for Golden Age tango music and the poetry of tango lyrics. The job of the DJ is to set the mood and provide the dancers with good, danceable music and a flow that makes sense. I try to achieve that by playing with different waves and intensities of energy and by paying attention to the dancers, as well as trusting my intuition. My favourite orchestra depends on the exact moment in time but if one thing is certain, it’s that there will always be Troilo on the menu.”

Dj Antti Suniala has been a regular highlight of milongas and festivals around the world including Buenos Aires, Berlin, Rome, Kiev, Vienna, Singapore and Tokyo. He is also well-known for his former weekly tango blog “Tanda of the Week”.
His selection of tango music celebrates the virtuoso orchestras, the greatest singers and the true passion of tango, and it is catered to the dancers needs, encouraging them to express their emotions and musicality through the dance. You can expect to hear some of most danceable traditional tango music from the late 1930’s to the late 1950’s and especially Troilo, Di Sarli, D’Arienzo, Calo, Laurenz, Biagi and Pugliese.
