My Istanbul Dance Festival Salsa DJ set 2023  

I couldn’t believe my luck in scoring a DJ spot in the main salsa room & it was my 2nd international DJ gig. I was amongst the greats of fantastic salsa DJ lineups so I needed to bring my A game!   

I felt really blessed & grateful that lots of advanced elite dancers stayed to my set esp it was Sun/Mon 4-5:30am. They were singing, dancing their hearts out & many said that it was their fav DJ set for the festival.  

Special thanks to DJ Poeta from Turkey 🇹🇷 who was kind enough to offer part of his set so I can play longer than 1 hour.   

Thank u so much for making me feel welcomed & loved at Istanbul Dance Festival. I just wanted to represent us dancers who are craving for that ultimate high at the festival & have lasting memories. It gave me so much confidence that I can do anything 🤩🔥💃🏻🕺🏻

Salsa Istanbul Dance Festival DJ Vanessa 2023🇹🇷

There's a 3rd room at TS where both kizomba & Brazilian zouk dancers share the same dance floor (majority mainly kiz dancers).

My DJ mix mainly consists of ghetto zouk, kizomba & 1 urban kiz song.

Special thanks to P Lowe, Malcom Beatz, M&N Pro, DJ Chad, DJ Paparazzi & DJ Zay'X for making awesome kiz remixes xo

Adelaide Sensual Weekend Festival Saturday Gala Night 2023 DJ Vanessa

For me & others there’s this big huge expectation of having the best music on Sat Gala Party. 

I really felt the pressure also of being watched by my idols Luis & Andrea from Spain 🇪🇸 Plus the other DJs played good music like the new hit songs of Romeo, Prince Royce, Pinto Picasso, La Noche Perfecta, Tutto Duran, Clavaito & Dicelo.

Challenge Accepted!!!
So I wanted to play other fav songs, throw in new songs, classics & include some well loved Dominican songs too but didn’t wanna be lazy DJ - play the overplayed Senor Juez, Se Te Nota & Vocales de Amor
so I surprised ppl. Luckily my preparation paid off- listening to so many songs, checking combinations & just checking my music flow and watching my dance floor, feeling the vibes, play variety and different tempos & making sure everyone’s having fun. 

Thank u so much Yassin Mutati & Ram for being my biggest cheerleaders & listening to my frustrations of how Latin dance organisers just hiring their friends (who don’t even know about bachata structure & instruments or current songs) instead of credible knowledgeable dancer DJs. 

I want to improve it, be faithful to essence of bachata & be advocate for dancers who have spent so much money & took time off for this most awaited amazing festival. I’m a lover of all types of bachata- I just want everyone to just get along & respect and admire each other’s different styles & creativity. 

I want Luis & Andrea and all those international artists to say hey Australia is up to date with their music and dancing & that we’re doing really well & they love coming here to Australia. 

Anyway, thank u so much for all the love, support & encouragement. I’m helping also creating awareness about bachata musicality to some talented interstate DJ friends so hopefully we as a collective help improve Latin dance music played at festivals & events xo 😘 💃🏻🕺🏻💜

PS This festival is heavily sensual bachateros crowd but I try to pick songs that have bachata structure with good mambo rhythmic section so Dominican/Moderna bachateros can do crazy footwork.
