Age Akkerman

I work as DJ solo and as part of DJ Duo Age & Sebastián. As duo, we are available May-September in Europe. Other months, I am available in Europe and Sebastián in Argentina. I lead dancers through all emotions of the classics, delicate, romantic, rhythmical and dramatic with a reliable stream of danceable music, based on the golden classics from the main orchestra's, spiced up with lesser-known jewels depending on the mood. I love sung tangos mingled with instrumentals and I'm crazy 'bout milonga. I want a flow of coherent tandas, developing and varying smoothly and naturally, creating and following the mood, connecting you with the music and one another. Analyzing the speed/pitch variations of a big number of tangos, I found that many tangos are transferred at incorrect speeds. I've developed a technique to retune® tango to its original tempo and pitch, which often sounds surprisingly different and better. Playlist info is projected with a beamer on the wall (previous and current song title and orchestra, next tanda, etc.) using a script I wrote.
