Meet the DJs

Ingrid Love is based in Victoria, BC and has played for Alive Tango Victoria, CODA Milonga, and La Milonga Tipica in Vancouver. She is also an organizer of local milongas in Victoria, co-host of Victor/Victoria Switch practica, and one of the team members behind Island Embrace Tango Marathon. Her tango roots started in Nelson BC over a decade ago and she is looking forward to returning to play some tunes for the Heritage City Tango Marathon.

Doug was introduced to tango music in 2007, before his first trip to Argentina. He has loved this music ever since, and started dancing Tango in 2014. Developing a library of tango music over the years lead him naturally to DJing. He travels to Buenos Aires and Europe regularly to dance, and to listen to DJs there. His musical selections are grounded in the Golden Age classics but he will venture into the Guardia Vieja period and the 1950s recordings. Being a tango dancer helps him to better understand the dance floor, to enhance through music the many subtle emotions that occur during the dance. He DJs regularly at local and regional Milongas in and around Vancouver BC.

Sally (La Profesora) had her first tango lessons in Buenos Aires in November 2010 and began spinning tango tunes shortly thereafter at local venues as a guest DJ. Sally’s musical taste is broad with strong international flare and solid roots in hot Jazz. Her cortina selections reflect these moods and weave their influence between tandas that first and foremost respect and celebrate the the golden age of tango music, yet allow room for the vibrant and thriving contemporary expressions of its soul.

Steve has been dancing Argentine Tango for over 13 years, and has been a TDJ in the Pacific Northwest for 4 years. Having been a musician for over 40 years, combined with his love for traditional tango music from the Golden Age, Steve strives to use his music selections to build energy in the ronda and to enhance connection between partners on the dance floor.​​​​​​​​

I have been an Argentine Tango DJ since 2014, performing throughout the U.S. West Coast, including Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Eugene, Corvallis, and Bend, Oregon. Internationally, I have DJd in Taipei (Taiwan), Cairo (Egypt), Munich (Germany), and Christchurch (New Zealand). My music focuses on traditional Argentine tango orchestras from the 1930s through the 1960s. I have been dancing Argentine Tango for over 20 years and greatly enjoy watching dancers connect and respond to the music
