Bio

 

Dan Boccia is recognized internationally as one of the finest tango DJs in North America, where he has been a featured DJ at the largest and most important events, festivals and congresses since 2001.

 

He is known for pioneering and advancing the art of DJing improvisationally, selecting music on the fly during the event rather than relying on pre-recorded playlists.  He has a deep and expanding knowledge of the music, its cultural context, the orchestras and singers, and the individual musicians, and is skilled in applying this knowledge to the best benefit of the dancers while DJing. Dan believes in using pure tango music while maintaining the traditional tanda/cortina format developed in the milongas of Buenos Aires, always finding ways to make the music sound fresh and perfectly suited to any event.

 

Dan has spent over 6 years developing techniques to clean the music up to sound better, and is known for having one of the best-sounding collections of tango music anywhere.  Dan also enjoys presenting DJ seminars or discussing the music with dancers and DJs so they can enrich their tango experiences.

 

Dan has been featured at the following events:

 

- Portland Tangofest and Valentango - the largest festivals in North America (2001-2008)

- Seattle Tango Magic (2004-2007)

- Washington, D.C. Tango Marathon (2003-2004)

- Los Angeles Tango Fireworks (2002-2003)

- Denver Milonguero festivals (2001-2006)

- San Diego Tango Festival (2008)

- Maui Tango Festival - where he DJed for 5 nights in a row (2007)
