Friday Night, 27th March – DJ Mo

DJ Mo began his musical journey in his early 20s, performing at clubs, schools, and university events, where he played dance music and electronica. Everything changed in 2010 when he discovered Argentine Tango and fell in love with its depth, nostalgia and emotion. Since then, Mo has become a popular name in the tango community, DJing at local Sydney milongas and being invited to national and international events, including BASH, Tango in the Spring, Port Macquarie Tango Festival, Pablito’s, and the New Zealand Tango Festival, among many others.

Mo is known for crafting his sets “on the fly,” reading the energy of the dance floor and curating the flow from tanda to tanda. He likes to think of the milonga as a movie, where the dancers are both the characters and the audience — shaping the story’s rhythm, its buildup, its peak, and its final lingering scene.”

Saturday Afternoon, 28th March – DJ Jarny

Jarny began tango in 1998. He made key contributions to the Melbourne tango scene in the early 2000s, teaching classes and running community-focused initiatives and events. He was one of the founding members of the famous Czech House milonga in Melbourne, which embodied the ethos of a DJ-centred event. Jarny has always been interested in community building and the social elements of tango, and his DJing aims to connect dancers deeply through golden age music.

Saturday Night, 28th March – DJ Chris

Sunday Afternoon, 29th March – DJ Wendy

Wendy’s love affair with tango began 15 years ago and has deepened through countless enriching journeys to Buenos Aires. Over time, she’s become both a graceful dancer and a well-regarded DJ, known for her intuitive musicality and vibrant energy. Her tandas draw from the Golden Age of tango, blending rhythmic elegance with emotional depth to inspire connection on the dance floor. With over a decade of DJ experience, Wendy brings a dynamic presence to every event. Her gift lies in reading the room and crafting musical journeys that uplift, energise, and linger in the hearts of dancers long after the final note. By weaving timeless classics with a touch of contemporary orchestras, she creates a soundscape that’s both captivating and unforgettable.

Sunday Night, 29th March – DJ Zaman

My love of tango began 2 decades ago in Perth, Australia, and I can remember it distinctly—all you can eat Indian buffet and my first ever tango class (food and tango music became a significant part of my tango travels). A couple of years later, I moved to Melbourne and began DJing at tango practica, learning to become a good DJ by listening to and watching the dancers as I played the tandas.

I’ve become a regular tango DJ in Melbourne and even had the opportunity to DJ at The Mid-Autumn Tango night in Beijing back in 2018. The tango dancers of Melbourne know I have a ‘style’ to music – I’m a rhythmical dancer (milonga, D’arienzo, Tanturi, Biagi) and it reflects in the tandas I play during the night. But, I do like to calm the floor, interspersing the night with slower/deeper tandas such as Demare, DiSarli, and Pugliese. As a DJ, I enjoy watching dancers connect with the music I play for them and with each other—all the special moments between us during a tanda. I look forward to the opportunity of being one of the DJs for Melbourne Tango Weekend 2026.

About MTW

Our first event took place in 2019

 

Melbourne Tango Weekend is a unique social event.

Event Focus: The primary aim of the weekend is to bring together the Melbourne tango community, dancers from other parts of Australia (interstate), and possibly international tango enthusiasts. The goal is to provide a weekend of enjoyable dancing in a beautiful, comfortable setting featuring quality DJs.

Open to All: While the event is open to everyone, there will be a limit on the number of dancers that can comfortably fit on the dance floor. This limitation is likely to ensure a pleasant dancing experience for all attendees.

Gender Balance: To create an inclusive environment, the organisers aim to maintain a balanced gender representation among attendees. This effort is likely to enhance the overall experience for everyone participating.

Pre-Registration Required: To manage the number of attendees and maintain the gender balance, pre-registration is mandatory. Only those registered in advance will be allowed entry to the event.

Registration Details: Registration is scheduled to open in mid-to-late November. To ensure you receive timely updates and get all the benefits of registration, subscribe to the event’s newsletter via the provided link: Newsletter Subscription.

Melbourne Tango Weekend is run under the umbrella of Tango Club Melbourne Inc. – a not-for-profit association.
