OUR DJs
Sarah Genung
Sarah Genung started dancing tango in 2005 when she was a teenager in Spokane, WA and one night was all it took to instill a lifelong enchantment. She started DJing in 2013 and has since enjoyed playing at events in Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Michigan and Florida with Denver, CO as her current home. She most loves the expression, sound and stories of the Golden Age which is where her music is centered, but is also energized and inspired by the recent explosion in modern orchestras who keep tango music growing as a living art form. Her ultimate goal? To dialogue with the dance floor — crafting thoughtful tandas and fun cortinas that will light up dancers' eyes and fuel dynamic energy that carries their feet through the night.
Fatima Hirji
DJ FAH began her tango journey as a social dancer in both roles in the UK. She began djing at local events in Colorado and over the years she has witnessed a constant evolution both in her musical preferences and in her DJ style. As a DJ her focus has been to stay conscious of that development, believing that it permits her to relate to and play music for dancers in different stages of their tango journey, and with a wide range of experience and skill levels.
She regularly DJ’s milongas for local Colorado organizers and has DJ’d at encuentros and festivals including TTX (Toronto Tango Exchange), Tango on the Rocks, Close Encounters, and The Pilgrims's Encuentro.

His style of playing ranges from what is most-liked to more modern, slow, dramatic. He plays 1940s, 1950s and the renditions of XXI century orchestras that imitate those same 40s and 50s great musicians.
