John-Michael Mendizza (Erfurt)
I have been DJing somewhat regularly almost as long as I have been dancing, and I realize more and more as my dancing progresses the importance not just of good music, but arranged in the right structure to make a nice environment for a long night of dancing.
To that end, I try to key my DJing to create the right flow and feeling for the evening so that everyone will be caught up in the mood of the Milonga and dance the whole night long.

Nico (Leipzig)
Today's set meal consists of handpicked Tandas, served between different Cortinas. The ingredients for both the starter and the main dish are mainly selected Tangos, Valses and Milongas of the traditional Argentine cuisine. Especially for the later courses I add fresh ingredients for all tastes. Enjoy your meal! 
* All ingredients are organically grown. Since this is a natural product, the percentage of the fixings might differ somewhat. Might contain traces of nuts.

"I'm looking forward to bulid an historical arc over all epochs of Tango and make it a memorable evening!"

Johan Steyn (Dublin)
I am primarily a traditional Tango DJ, though I do play some non-traditional for dancers that want it (of which the Phantastango dancers usually do - and it gives a nice change/break from the usual). When I do it, I usually insert a tanda of nuevo/modern/alternative/electro at the end of every TTVTTM cycle, therefore I would say the breakdown works out at about 85% traditional + 15% non-traditional, ie. one tanda out of every seven is non-traditional.

Eric Ludmann alias DJ Eric a Naro (Heidelberg)
Apart from dancing and teaching, this year Eric introduces himself as a DJ to Phantastango. After three visits to BsAs, the traditional Tango has got a central place in Eric's DJing... (with Tandas & Cortinas)! As a DJ Eric will give everything - and even more..;-)

Silke Kampfmeier
alias DJane Ska (Munich)
Silke's roots are in Frankfurt, currently she lives in Munich. 
Her DJing is known for its sensitive mixture of traditional, nuevo, world music, non tango and electro tango, pierced by funny balcan beats every now and then. 
"For me it is important, that we all have an enjoyable milonga. I'm especially looking forward to DJing for the "very first time" at PHANTASTango."

Stefan alias Stefan OK (Halle)
Finding real dance patterns in the music piercing the couple's ears and connecting it through the embrace with the floor, this is my task. Additional to the jangling high speed sounds of the 30s and the sobbing staginess of the 40s, there will be some experiments:  Rough, earthy as well as sweet unknown tracks of the early years with a nostalgia being cared for by the powerful sound of contemporary orchestras. Chosen and compiled live for you - nicely wrapped in Tandas and accurately separated by Cortinas. Close your eyes and be all ears!

Maria alias DJane Mara (Dresden)
I feel strongly connected to both traditional tango and modern tango of the streets of BsAs and I love to play them in the milonga. I love to offer new rhythms and sounds of our lives for the dancer's interpretation. Tango is what make of it!

Thomas Henschel (Berlin)
Thomas with his red-yellow Hanomag caravan and his accordion is a fix part of PHANTASTago from the very beginning :-)
As well as his alternative milonga at "Haus der Sinne" in Berlin, his DJing is refreshingly different. His specialty as a DJ is the East European world music. We look forward to a wonderful Tango Brunch on the last camp day!
