Ciko has been DJing since 2009. She has experience with both Traditional and Alternative Tango Music since she ran weekly and monthly events in NYC that had both rooms. She has DJ’d at big and small events in the NYC and various communities and festivals around the US over the years.. to name a few; Montreal Nuevo Festival, Chicago Tango Week, Philadelphia Tango Festival, Florida Keys Marathon, Cleveland Tango Bowling Marathon, Miami Sunshine Tango Festival, San Francisco Nora's Tango Week, Tango Abrazo Festival NYC..

She does not discriminate between different eras of Tango Music. She likes a wide range from 1920s to 2023! She loves discovering what moves her audience and dancers in the room so she can work together with them in creating a great event and a flow that works well for what the crowd that night needs. She gives as much importance to her Cortinas as her Tandas because she believes that they are instrumental in creating the vibe for the night.

When Robin came back from his first trip to Buenos Aires in 2000, he realized that if he wanted to continue to dance tango every night, he would have to find a way to attend milongas for free. At the time, the concept of a tango DJ hardly existed. Most organizer’s would put on a CD, and often it would repeat to span the length of the milonga. Robin wanted to play music as he had heard it in Buenos Aires: in tandas of tango, vals, and milonga with cortinas in between. He began to DJ doing exactly that, despite being told not to play cortinas as people would dance to them. Initially some people did dance to the cortinas, but Robin persisted until this format became the standard. Over the next 10 years, he was invited to DJ in D.C., L.A., Denver, Portland, Miami, and some of the biggest festivals in North America, as well as, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Berlin, Seoul, Shanghai and Buenos Aires. Robin currently co organizes the Tuesday Practica and Gallo Ceigo in New York City. He teaches tango at Yale and Columbia Universities, and has taught all over North America. Before the pandemic he ran the milongas Nocturne and Roko which are various times the biggest monthly and weekly milongas in the USA.

Originally from Montreal, Gabriel taught, performed and DJ’d for over a decade throughout North America before settling in his current home, Washington DC.

Gabriel’s style as a DJ is to create multiple varieties of waves for the dancers to ride. He loves building different kinds of energies throughout his set, always keeping his attention on the dancers and tuning into their vibe to identify when and how to raise and lower the tide. His inspiration is YOU!

Gabriel uses excellent DJ equipment and is particular about the quality of the sound, as well as his choice of tandas and cortinas. His music spans all eras, and he uses that range to bring out each dancer’s emotions. Everything is thoughtfully selected to expand your experience and inspire your creativity and flow!
