If you have not heard tango music played from vinyl you are in for a treat! The sound is amazing, surprisingly better than what you are used to. We will be using the awesome Frequencias sound system to get the most from the records. I will be spinning records all night long, DJing with vinyl is a lot more work than using a computer, real DJing one might say. Lots of work but also lots of fun. See you there.
