Neo DJs Presentation:
DJ Floora (GER)
DJ Thierry (FRA) -
Thierry is first and foremost a creative dancer who truly lives the music. Before becoming a Neo Tango DJ, he explored a wide range of social dances, including swing, blues, salsa and tango.
Of course, he loves Golden Age tango, but what really makes him tick is the desire to explore, enrich and blend different musical and dance traditions, opening up new musical and physical horizons. This is what led him to Neo Tango and Fusion.
Beautiful melodies, emotion, and variations in rhythm and intensity are the hallmarks of Thierry’s musical style.
He has DJed all over Europe and is the co-organiser of several festivals and events, including Toulouse Neo Tango, Neo Tango Bruges, Neo Tango Summer Camp, Neo Tango Meißen, Fusion w/ Tango Vibes, Toulouse Fusion Weekend and Bruges Fusion Weekend.
DJ Iwan Harlan (GER) & DJane Isabella (GER)
Since 2006, they've been DJing, both together and individually. Their mission from the outset has been to explore the entire spectrum of possible tango music. Anything that makes them want to dance Tango to it is welcome. Every style is permitted if they can and want to dance Tango to it. This can be challenging and is rarely easy listening. Moreover, Iwan's multifaceted role as a composer and music producer, boasting 9 album releases across genres such as neo-tango, world music, soul, funk, Caribbean, cinematic, and ambient styles, greatly enriches the extensive repertoire of their DJ artistry.

Iwan and Isabella will share a one DJ time 50-50 during Neo Summer
DJ Fabio (ITA) It was in his hometown of Naples that Fabio discovered Tango in 2009. As a yoga teacher, he has been working for years on this union between body and mind through the power of music to create moments where time stops and you are transported into another dimension. From 2010 he began a personal search for the discovery of modern rhythms and melodies (jazz, ethnic, classical, pop, rock, rap, indie, modern orchestras etc...) that can be interpreted using the codes of tango through all kind of music. In 2013 he Came to settle in Nice, he imported his Neo tango musicality and gave a new breath to the life of Tango with his milongas where trad tango meets alternative tango and barriers are erased by emotions. He participated as a DJ in many international festivals and marathons in Europe (France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Finland) choosing to tell, through his musical selections, a story made of sensitivity and emotions, allowing dancers to freely interpret their feelings.
Fabio will be also our YOGA teacher. A superman !
DJ Steph (SE/FR)
Steph played his first club nights at 19, between student lectures. He has danced couple dances for the past twenty-five years and learned how to read the dancefloor: when dancers want to be held, and when they want a surprise.
Tango found him in Stockholm and he was trained in the traditional style of the dance. Since other dances (Mambo, WCS, Blues) had already shaped his musicality and dancing, NeoTango came to him naturally. For the past ten years, he has played on the Neo and Fusion scenes and organized events mostly in Sweden.
His DJ-sets work as journeys : Tender passages meet sharper tunes with a subtle blending to various musical backgrounds. He makes sure you don’t get bored and the keeps the spark last until the last song while always keeping the flow ongoing.
Frenchman living in Sweden, he co-leads Urban Fusion, the team behind Aurora, Scandinavia’s largest NeoTango marathon.
DJ Julija (BE) When I first discovered the Tango Universe back in 2009, little did I know how far it would take me. From learning basic steps to complex figures, tango codigos and history, I met many passionate Tango fellows along the journey. Through it all, the most important aspect of Tango Dance is the social component for me.
As a DJ, I pay tribute to Tango classics and, when appropriate, I also include some wider Tango styles and eras to create relaxed and open atmosphere. This allows the dancers to express their emotions and creativity, ranging from excitement to melancholy, while embracing old friends or making new ones.
It will be a great pleasure for me to play at the Neo Tango Summer Camp in August 2027.
Looking forward!
