Igor “El Espejero” started dancing tango in 2011, and DJing in 2012. Since then he has been invited to play his music to over 100 milongas and festivals in the USA, Ireland, UK, China, Ukraine, Belarus and Buenos Aires, while actively DJing at various milonga venues in Toronto, the city of his residence. His musical style is heavily influenced, on one hand, by the abundant energy of the Italian tango DJs, and, on the other, by the profound and sensual musical selection of the younger generation of Buenos Aires musicalizadors. Igor also has deeply immersed himself into the sound engineering. His articles and webinars on the various technical aspects of tango DJing are well known around the world.
