David Chester
from Worcester, Massachusetts
David has loved music his whole life. In his youth, he sang in choirs that toured Europe, and also was a choir director. Later in life, he discovered tango, and it became his passion. It wasn’t long before he got into DJing. David DJs at milongas and festivals across New England and beyond, playing his carefully crafted tandas. His favorite songs are the emotional songs that touch your soul, and are full of longing. However, he plays a wide variety of tango songs, from rhythmic to lyrical. He has even been known to play an alternative tanda when it fits the crowd. His goal is for people to leave tired, from dancing all night.
El Espejero
from Toronto, Canada
Igor “El Espejero” started dancing tango in 2011, and DJing in 2012. Since then he has been invited to play his music to over 350 milongas and 60 major events in England, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Serbia, Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Turkey, North Cyprus, China, Taiwan, ten US states, and Argentina (Salon Canning and Club Fulgor, Buenos Aires), while actively DJing at various milonga venues and organizing own events in Toronto, the city of his residence.
His musical selection is firmly grounded in the classics of the Golden Age, with occasional, yet necessary departures into the naive warmth of Guardia Vieja sextetos and raw energy of a few carefully selected modern orquestas, while his style is influenced by the profound and sensual choices of the younger generation of Buenos Aires musicalizadors.
Igor says: “I believe that it is the dance floor that dictates the choices to the DJ, not other way around. Thus, I neither program my music in advance of the event, nor I attempt to ‘educate’ or ‘challenge’ the dancers. My only goal is to deliver the best danceable music and abundant energy to the floor, from the first tanda to the last, without a single exception.”
Koichiro Suzuki
from Naha, Okinawa
Koichiro Suzuki has a Master’s Degree in Music Performance at Duquesne University and has performed Euphonium internationally since 1996. Koichiro incorporates his complex music background and deep understanding of musicality into his DJing. Koichiro DJs regularly in Pittsburgh, PA and has DJed many other cities in the United States, Argentina, Canada, Cyprus, Mexico and Japan. In 2021, Koichiro was invited to DJ at the Windy City Tango Festival in Chicago in July, the Boston Tango Marathon in September, Plan to Organize Pittsburgh Tango Fierro in October.
Rod Relucio
from Chicago, Illinois
In the tango world, Rod is known more as a teacher and performer.
However, Rod is also receiving rave reviews as a DJ. He creates a playlist that causes waves of emotion and energy, keeping the dancers engaged through the night. Rod focuses on traditional music that keeps the dancers on the floor until the very end of the milongas.
He has dj’d in festivals, marathons, and milongas all over the U.S. and abroad. His most recent events include the Miami Sunshine Tango Festival, Abrazos Tango Festival, Windy City Tango Festival, Motown Tango Marathon, Tango on the Rocks, Montana Tango Festival, Gavito Tango Festival, Tango Maya Festival, 7th Holiday Tango Weekend, Intercambio Festival, Motivo Tango Marathon.
