Information for tango DJs

The ONE TANGO Salon is not only a place for dancing, but also for meeting, unwinding and joy. Part of that atmosphere is our high standard for sound quality — and for our TDJs.

Which tango DJs we invite depends on the format of the evening (traditional, mixed, nuevo); it is a blend of experienced local and international TDJs.

We also deliberately host milonga formats aimed not only at tango beginners and returners, but also at the next generation of TDJs. We support them above all with gear, sound quality and good sources for audio files, and with shaping a milonga musically.

The standard for sound quality is the same for everyone.

1. High-quality audio formats

We recommend high-quality transfers of the original recordings. Best suited are:

• Uncompressed: WAV, AIFF
• Losslessly compressed: FLAC, ALAC
• Please avoid: MP3, AAC, OGG

We know these formats cannot always be avoided in a library that has grown over the years. The difference in quality will, however, be clearly audible.

2. Reliable audio software and hardware

For a stable, trouble-free listening experience we expect professional audio tools — a proper DJ player, a cleanly configured music database and suitable audio utilities.

How to connect to our audio interface — on Mac or Windows —, how to set the level and what not to change on the mixing desk and amplifier: it is all in our rider. Best read it before your evening, print it or keep it on your phone.
