Neo DJ's presentation:
DJane Anna (Russia) - Anna has been in music since childhood, and her playing ranges from piano classics to rock music. She fell in love with tango music in 1998, and it took her more than a decade to start dancing instead of just listening. But it was worth it. She loves both the music of the Golden Era and the Neo tango music, and she hopes that someday they can coexist harmoniously. "Music flows in me and I flow with music. Every set I play is live and depends on the dance floor right here, right now. I love that kind of continuous flow of music, that takes dancers through time and a wide range of emotions. I am in love with the process - of searching and trying something new, changing and combining the music sounds into a stream at the console, feeling the dancers’ energy... The only frustrating thing is that there are things I really want to dance to, but I never have an opportunity. So I dance by myself while mixing.”
DJ Thierry (FRA) - Thierry is above all a creative dancer who “lives” the music. He practiced many social dances( (swing, blues, salsa, tango...) before starting to DJ Neo tango . Of course, he loves tango from the golden age, but what makes him vibrate is to open, enrich, mix practices toward new musical and corporeal horizons which brings him to Neo. Nice melodies, emotion and changes in rythms and intensity are thierry's music markers. Thierry is co-organizer of several festivals: Neo Tango Toulouse (TNT), Neo Tango Bruges (NTB), Neo Tango Meissen (NTM) but also the Toulouse Fusion weekend (Fusion dance festival). He DJ'd all over Europe ; Toulouse, Bruges, Amsterdam, Lyon, Rome, Athens, Gent, Tangopostale, Berlin, Lille, Praha, mannheim,Munich, Hamburg...
DJ Phil (FRA) -I started as a Hard Rock DJ in the 80’s, then DJ for Blues nights. Blues lead me to Tango Neo of course, and in 2015 I started Nueva Guardia, my Neolonga in Toulouse.
I like to make people dance on nice melodies.
I love to invite DJs to my milonga, organize events our baby the TNT is healthy, his little Barcelona brother Tiny Barcelona also. I was also "father" of the Nocturna (Tango way).
DJane Kimy (FRA) Born in Vietnam, Kimy discovered tango and neo tango in France, which she dances with passion. Her Sets are extremely varied in styles and are built to make you travel with her in a world of sensitivity and emotions.
DJ Ale (SP) - Dancer and DJ, Alejandro builds his sets by observing the dance floor and reading bodies. His music guides from gentle to dynamic, creating musical journeys between traditional and alternative. Attentive and present, he maintains good vibes and takes care of the dancers’ experience
DJ Fred2Gap - many years, Fred has been forging his path between traditional tango and neo-tango, guided by a curious ear and an ever-evolving sensitivity.
His musical selections are like journeys—soundscapes where eras, textures, and emotions intersect.
He weaves in his discoveries, his impulses, what has surprised or moved him… always with the desire to make something authentic resonate on the dance floor.
For him, tango is a living space of sharing, nourished by travel, encounters, and the connections that form through dance.
An invitation to listen, to feel, and to let yourself be carried into his world.
Neo VJ's presentation :
VJ Philippe (FRA) - Philippe Gauthier is fascinated by movement and the harmony emerging from the dance floor, he seeks to magnify it. As a VJ his performance is purely live where the dancers and music both are intertwined to give life to interactive visuals. Mountains, oceans, starfields and many poetic landscapes surround the dancefloor to join dancers in a blithful and unique journey.
VJ Morvan (FRA) - Morvan arrived in tango as dancer around 2015, and very quickly fell in love with neotango. After going to Bremen in 2019, he became interested in producing visuals and later had the opportunity to VJ for the Neolonga in Paris. Since, he has been incorporating more of his own video captures, from around Paris, but also from travels in France and Europe - sometimes scenes, other times only colors and textures. He likes to incorporates live various elements to accompany the music, and wherever possible incorporate elements of the event location, dancers or season into the visuals.
