The list is organized by orchestra/singer/period and it looks just like my iTunes library. You can also preview beginning and middle of each song. </p> <p>I will be offering any new aspiring DJs to try Djing with my laptop (after of course you spent enough time studying my website on your own). I am also offering a 3-hour presentation about the basics of Djing, orchestra overview, how to create tandas etc.</p> <p>So here is the full deal:</p> <p><ol type="1"><li>Let me know if you are interested.</li><li>Become familiar with orchestras and classification on <a href="http://www.tangoplaylist.com/">http://www.tangoplaylist.com</a>. Talk to local DJs. Read more articles about music and Djing on <a href="http://tangodj.org">tangodj.org</a>.</li><li>Once I have 2 - 3 people, we’ll schedule our DJ training session.</li><li>You should find your 1st gig on your own (I suggest asking at one of the practicas or less crowded milongas) and coordinate it with me to make sure I can be there.</li><li>Do it!</li></ol></p> <p>I am not charging for the training session, but I’d like to keep your 1st gig DJ fee for my time and effort. </p> <p>If you enjoy the experience and would like to become a DJ in the future, I will give you a few ideas where to buy the CDs and how start building your own music collection.</p> <p>If anyone is interested, email me: antontango at gmail dot com.</p> <p>Anton</p> <p>P.S. Currently the website has only 12 second samples for each song (12 seconds beginning + 12 seconds end), but I might be able to make 30 second samples available privately for the participants. </p>
