TigerTango

A VirtualDJ Interface Designed for Tango DJs

Free

Nothing kills the magic of the milonga like technical issues. Whether you are just starting out as a tango DJ, or are traveling to DJ the biggest festivals, you deserve software that enables your creativity instead of hindering the flow you are striving so hard to create. TigerTango is a customized VirtualDJ skin specifically designed for the needs of tango DJs.

Power and reliability of VirtualDJ
Clean interface configured for tango DJing
Added safety features so you can focus on the dancers
Built-in semiparametric equalizer
VST3 and video display integrations
Song fade-out buttons (great for cortinas)

“The TigerTango VirtualDJ skin interface is perfect for Tango DJs. As a Traktor user for the last 10 years, I never stopped looking for a more practical alternative, until now.”

— Éric Heleno, Sound Systems Engineer & Tango DJ

“Until now, software for Tango DJing meant compromise: too little, or way too much. TigerTango fixes this. Designed and tuned for Tango DJs, its interface and unique features finally fit our craft.”

— DJ Ragnar (Germany)

“It is totally awesome, making tango DJ-ing wonderfully streamlined on the technical side. VDJ with TigerTango blows all other options out of the water. Loving it!!!”

— TDJ Michael Plaks (Houston, Texas)

TigerTango is built on VirtualDJ, so you’ll want to download that first. You can get it from their website here.

Use the 2025 version of VirtualDJ.

The 2026 release added an audio watermark to the free version. For those who would like to try out the full free version, we have added a link to the 2025 version below. (Follow steps to disable automatic updates).

You can install TigerTango directly in VirtualDJ: Settings → Extensions → Search "TigerTango". You can also download the latest version with the link below.
