Hi, my name is Dariusz Bekała, I come from Szczecin, Poland. I have been into tango as a dancer and dj for 11 years, so I am only at the beginning of my adventure with this passion. Personally, I adore orchestras from the 1930s and 1940s, although I also admire some later pearls such as O. Pugliese, A. Gobbi or F. Sassone. When I dj at milongas, I arrange the music in real time – there are no ready-made playlists. I always observe the dancers, trying to notice what they like dancing to most, and I make my best to meet their expectations. I invite you to have great fun, see in on the dancefloor! Darek.

For me, the music is the most important part of the dance. Without it we would be lost and without connection. The music is what influences our decisions. Therefore, as a DJ, I try to offer a variety of choices to the dancers. In my dancing, I’m happiest when listening to complex music with powerful emotion and so I try to DJ like this as well.
