Artist Bio
DJ Mark Mindel's tango journey began in 2011. The music of tango captured my mind & heart from the very start. I began DJing in 2015 for local practicas & organizing our own small milongas for more opportunities to dance. In 2018 Kim & I began organizing the Queen City Tango Marathon annually here in Charlotte North Carolina. I designed & constructed our own custom portable dance floor for this event. We now own more than 250 sq meters of portable floor. I am in the process of building my own custom sound system to elevate tango dancers audio experience to a new level.
Back to DJing. Every part of tango is a journey. Musical choices take dancers to many places full of emotion & color. I love opening the door for dancers to walk thru & share a moment or a dream from their mind or heart with another human being.
Besides our own Queen City Tango Marathon 2018-22, I have DJed at Charleston Encuentro, Newport News Encuentro, Sugar Hollow Encuentro, Los Angeles Encuentro, Columbia Tango Marathon, San Miguel Allende Festival, Tango Utopia - Durham, NC, Milonga Del Barrio - New York, Augusta, Atlanta, Charleston, Boston, Orlando, Knoxville, DC, Greensboro, Winston-Salem.
Placed 5th in the finals in the Remolino DJ contest.
