I have been involved with tango since the last millennium. Traditional tango was the first dance and music to capture me and often gave me the famous "three-minute happiness". My ultimate goal as a DJ is to enable as many couples as possible to experience this elation when dancing together. I like to play traditional tangos. Especially in the Epoca d'Oro, the music is so captivating, varied and differentiated for dancers as it is not the case before and after. Tango tradicional has infected and fascinated me to this day. I can also revel in it as a DJ.

However, as the name "DJ Tango21" aka Geert says, I am also very interested in the tango of today, the tango of the 21st century. The Epoca d`Oro is the phenomenal peak of tango as dance music, but it is not the present. I am interested in including the tango of today for dancers, to make it clear that tango is not a museum of itself, but has a development that builds on traditional tango. Tango is not a historical art form, it is current, as a culture, as music, as poetry and as dance. When I'm in Buenos Aires, I look for it in the off-milongas or at the events organised by the musicians themselves, such as the Electrotango Festival or at the Centro Atletico Fernandez Fierro (CAFF), and I always come across good dance music with clear rhythms and new influences that interpret tango in a contemporary way and give it a historical resilience and vitality.
As a DJ, I therefore play a wide variety of music - both classical, preferably in the romantic Zollhaus in Willich near Düsseldorf, but also at neo-tango events such as the Nuevo Tango Rave in Bremen. I am interested in the whole spectrum of lyrical and romantic tangos, from the musically dramatic to rock and jazz-inspired pieces. The important thing for me is always the danceable "rhythm", where everyone has to join in.
