DJ GUS: VINYL TANGO
33&78 rpm collection
�In this special vinyl milonga, we will be again delighted by the best of DJ GUS’s private collection of High Definition 33 & 78 rpm vinyl discs! ��
The sound of vinyl vibrates through your whole body - not just being absorbed through the ears, but FELT through the skin, the floor… it is a rich and warm vibration that resonates in a deeper way!��
In his collection in Buenos Aires, he treasures over 5000 vinyls and 700 shellacs, some of which were the earlier inspiration for the great orchestras of the 1940s, and their hit versions we so often dance to today.
As you observe Gus's fingers flutter from vinyl to dials to decks and back, his tandas flow through the analogue turntables as a tactile and audible expression of his deep knowledge and admiration for these emblematic orchestras!��
Don’t miss this special VINYL experience!
