D Marko J
Traditional tango DJ
He is a DJ which combines his two passions – the one for the dance floor and the other for crafting of tandas. Add to this his love for audio-video technology, which is also his profession, and you will get the variety of timeless and amusing tango orchestras and composers, put together with skilled technical precision. Inspiration that D Marko J has drawn for his tracks lies not only in his favourites such as Francisco Canaro and Roberto Firpo, and sometimes even Osvaldo Pugliese, nor in musical knowledge he gained as a jazz guitar musician or feedbacks from many big-name DJs that helped fine-tune his style, but also in the energy of couples that flows in each ronda before him. He is a regular DJ at vinyl milongas in Novi Sad and the region.

Zoran Šaronja
zoran.saronja@gmail.com
TEF organisation
Although he liked to dance during his youth, Zoran enrolled in his first social dances class some 15 years ago.
A spark ignited at this first class stayed from that day with him and led him to start dancing latin and standard dances a few years later which in turn led him to visit salsa dancing venues on every possible occasion.
Around the same time he was introduced to Argentine Tango which left a profound impression on him.
For a few years he paused all dancing activities, but finally in 2012 he started with Argentine tango lessons in Libertango Zagreb club.
He doesn't get much chance to practice and dance lately, but still does it with love and ardour.
