Bio of DJ Kenny Bell

Shortly after starting tango, Kenny found himself not only consumed with the dance, but he had also fallen into a deep obsession with the music. Since then, he has spent countless hours not only listening to these golden age classics, but studying them. He focuses not only on orchestra leaders, but also on singers and time periods, listening to the subtle differences of eras, styles, and instrumentals, finding out what makes each orchestra unique and what unifies them, as well as what makes a good dance song and what doesn’t. He uses a very systematic structure and method of organizing the music to ensure a harmonious relationship between songs and tandas through the night, and evenly distributing energy for gentle and thoughtful transitions between tandas. In his own words, "My goal as a DJ is simple: Play music for the people, and keep them dancing. As a DJ, I fully understand the creative power we have over the atmosphere of the social events, and in essence the attendees are at our mercy. With this in mind, I work diligently to keep the people energized, inspired, and when it comes time leave, satisfied."

"Just like the dance of Argentine tango, there is no true end to studying the music. With tens of thousands of recordings, there is always something new to learn and discover. It is my mission to continue studying the music, improving my methods to become both a better dancer and DJ, and to continue to serve people with the best nights of music I can conjure."
