DJ El Malo

Stefano Amato, alias DJ El Malo, was born in Zurich in 1975. Already as a child, besides soccer, he developed a great passion for music. After an instructive trip across Cuba, the native Italian was sure: his future DJ career would consist of Salsa beats.

From his former experiences as a House-DJ he got the indispensable beat feeling, from his HipHop and R&B trips he got the great mixing technique and from his passion to the Latin way of life he got the needed faith in the music. When DJ'ing, he provides an unrivalled mix of Fania classics.

In less than five years he became one of the most known and best Salsa DJ's, invited to important international Salsa Congresses all over the world. Moreover, he was honored several times for his work in the World of Latin Music - like in 2005, at the West Coast Salsa Congress in Los Angeles. He has also launched two great Salsa Compilations with the label "Latin Touch".

DJ Sezar

Sezar started to spin vinyls at the early age of 16. He began with hiphop and R'n'B, and then developed a great passion for trance, house and clubbing, then jazz house and Latin house and finally, around 2003, after a break of 6 years, for salsa.

Listening to salsa gradually became an addiction, which brought about a complete change in his life. Sezar now plays congas and bongos, has danced for many years and travelled to most European and American salsa congresses, stayed periodically in New York and collected music all around the world.

He has been playing at salsa congresses and in clubs in Norway and Sweden for about 5 years, but only started to work abroad in 2009. With his career beginning to take off, what was once a pleasurable hobby, is now keeping him away from his own company in the construction business and becoming a full-time job.

DJ Sezar mostly plays salsa mambo, from time to time giving the dancers something surprisingly different. His enjoyable, varied sets will keep you going and going. Every event he has played at has been remarkable, making him more and more requested by all audiences.

Sławek 'Mala Suerte' Leszczyński

Sławek was introduced to salsa in late 2002 and that's when he started to collect songs that he felt were the most enjoyable for salsa dancers. Over the years his collection grew but he only used it for personal purposes. It all changed in 2006 when he was asked to DJ at a new salsa party and reluctantly agreed. From that moment he started to spend more and more time searching for new music and sifting through his collection for the best songs. This time-consuming task was partially eased by his exceptional memory for catchy tunes and for the names of salsa artists.

At the beginning of his career as a DJ, Sławek spinned in small clubs with poor DJ equipment and bad audio systems. Undaunted by his initial difficulties, he adopted the humorous nickname Mala Suerte (Spanish for "bad luck").

Guided by his musical taste as a dancer, he tries to deliver tunes that are highly danceable but not too familiar. He specialises in heavy Puerto Rican and New York salsa, especially from the golden age of salsa music in the 1960s and 1970s, but he doesn't ignore salsa bands that have emerged over the last couple of years.

His taste in salsa music, as well as his knowledge, have evolved over time. Initially collecting albums of well-known salsa artists such as Ray Barretto, Willie Rosario, Tito Puente, Ismael Rivera, Bobby Valentin, Cheo Feliciano, he then broadened his horizons to less-known artists, such as Impacto Crea, Johnny Zamot, Chivirico Davila, Federico and Alfredo Linares. Today, Slawek own albums of hundreds of bands known only to a handful of salsa vieja collectors in the world.

You will definitely enjoy the nostalgic guajiras, rhythmic guaguancos and fast-paced, energetic, percussion heavy descargas he carefully selected.
