Jason

A tango DJ and organizer based in Toronto, he is deeply passionate about Golden Age tango music and dedicated to creating the most rewarding and inspiring dancing experience for milongueros. His musical approach combines a refined understanding of traditional tango with a strong sensitivity to the energy and dynamics of the dance floor.

He owns and curates an exceptional collection of historic tango recordings, including some of the finest 78 RPM transfers available today from renowned archives and restorations such as CTA, AMP, Audio Park, Tangotunes, and TTT. His DJ style is distinguished by its musical depth, flow, and responsiveness to the dancers in the salon. Rather than relying on pre-arranged playlists, he compiles tandas live and "on the fly," carefully shaping each set according to the atmosphere and emotional energy of the milonga, always using recordings of the highest fidelity and professional sound quality.

Over the years, he has been invited to guest DJ at numerous international festivals, marathons, and milongas across Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Buenos Aires. His appearances include the Festival International de Tango de Sitges, Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon, Tango Maya Fest, Toronto Tango Festival, Taipei Tango Festival, Tokyo Tango Festival, Beijing Tango Festival, Ideal Beijing Tango Marathon, Shanghai Tango Festival and Sonrisa Tango Festival as well as many respected local milongas throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, Spain, Japan, and China.

Since 2018, he has also been invited to DJ at some of the most traditional and prestigious milongas in Buenos Aires, including Lo de Celia, Porteño y Bailarín, El Motivo, Los Bohemios, Si Sos Brujo, Gente Amiga, Parakultural, Lo de Balmaceda, and Pipi Cucú.

In Toronto, he is the organizer and resident DJ of Milonga Maleva and Milonga Dominguez, where he continues to cultivate a traditional and musically rich tango experience for the local community.
