Tango DJ · Educator · Software developer
Music at the center of the milonga.
el-eje is Abbas Kazemipour — devoted to the music at the heart of social tango. Playing milongas, festivals, and championships across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Buenos Aires since 2018 — grounded in the Golden Age and an obsession with sound.
Three ways into the same craft
Play, teach, build — all in service of the music on the floor.
DJ sets
Golden-Age-grounded sets that read the floor — milongas, festivals, and championships, on professional gear and carefully chosen transfers.
Listen to sets →Train your DJs
I train tango DJs internationally — invite me to raise the level of music and DJing at your festival or local community, with workshops and talks for dancers and DJs alike.
Invite me to teach →Software for DJs

A few core ideas from the learning modules — structure, energy, and sound.
For organizers
Raise the level of tango in your community
Beyond playing, I help organizers improve the music and DJing at their festivals and local scenes — I train DJs internationally, run workshops, and give talks. I also bring El Eje, my own DJ software that helps DJs go deeper into the culture and meaning of tango music.
