Marathon DJs

Great DJs and music is the most important of every event

DJ timetable - who's behind the decks right now ?

DJ Fab

DJ Fab

Brazil

Fab started as a DJ in 2006 playing tribal house in night clubs in Rio de Janeiro. He had the opportunity to follow the growth of DJ equipment playing on vinyl, CDJs and now controllers.

When he discovered zouk, it was love at first sight. He learned to dance different rhythms and even had regular classes as a teacher. His first zouk event was in 2007 and from then on he never stopped playing.

Fab is now one of the main DJs in Brazil playing at the most famous festivals around the world.

DJ Sunshine

Aka Shanie Ram, co-founder of the 1st Zouk scene and school in Israel in 2015. Zouk Lambada dancer since 2010, pure Brazilian Zouk teacher and DJ since 2016, teaching locally & internationally and playing at weekly local parties.

Believes in using music and zouk as a journey of feeling, connection, expression and magic. Every song played is meant to "move", emotionally no less than physically. To touch deep inside and sensitize.

Is known to take her dancers on a journey, passing through various emotions, touching the heart and the soul, connecting deeper to one's self and feeling one with the dance partner.

Loves addicting new special songs, in diverse styles of music - Brazilian / Funk, R&B, World, Sexy, Tribal, Lyrical, Instrumental and especially Deep-Dive Emotional Flow

DJ Freddy

I started to be a DJ already in 1980 ;-) with all kinds of music. At that time disco, soul, pop, classics all what people wanted to hear and make them crazy and gave them a fun time at the disco in town. 2003 i started to dance Salsa and right away the asked me can you play music. Ofcourse i said. Always collecting records, cd’s, downloads, iTunes of music i like. I have also Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Zouk, Kizomba music. 2004 i started to learn Zouk with many friends who dance now so good and yes i was already again the DJ. It gives me energy, a smile and a really good feeling inside myself to see dancers dance allnight long. Enjoying the time on the dance floor. I try to play for all Zouk dancers because there are so many different kind of styles we can dance zouk on if you have an open dance mind. My favorite style is to let them dance 3 songs together in a dance flow. That they are feeling each other in dance and emotion. Away from everyone on the dancefloor just the two of you in the Zouk dance. 3 songs that can be together in a flow. for example Slow R&B, Lyrical & Neo. Flying above the dance floor ;-) Or midtempo popsong, original Zouk song and a Remix! ;-) I wanna dance too and be a better dancer but it seems i am still more a DJ. Have Fun, Enjoy All Zouk Marathon’s, Every Marathon is a special one and make it an Amazing time again together! Zouk Love & Big Hug. Freddy.

I met the Brazilian Zouk dance in 2002 in Netherland. This dance is very sensual, but it is the music which I fell in love with.
In 2005 I started as one of the first few DJ’s in Netherland, just for fun of course! And since 2010 my passion starts to expand to abroad and overseas, like Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Croatia, The USA and Canada.
As a DJ I witness the development of zouk music: from zouk, ghettozouk and kizomba to remixes, alternatives and pop songs.
I hope to share my passion with others. I love to have different sets of playing, surprises and a good mixture of all styles!
DJ Xearo

DJ Xearo

Netherlands

DJ, dancer and avid Brazilian Zouk enthusiast, Xearo lives in Amsterdam The Netherlands. When not performing, he spends his time in the studio practicing and developing everything zouk related!

Still having much to learn he has also picked up the art of DJ-ing and is embracing it completely. After having played his first song for an audience he was sold!

This was his calling! He knew he was going to spend a significant amount of time making this the best thing he does. Since 2016 he has come a long way holding multiple residencies, Dj-ing at special events, marathons, congresses & promoting his own projects & recently also managing DJs at zouk events.

For him it’s all about the mood and energy. Playing the tracks that make you tap your feet and move onto the dance floor without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style or date of release. Xearo is a versatile DJ that will keep the dance floor filled and the dancers dancing until the sun rises! Whatever genre of style you prefer, be prepared to be taken on a journey through the landscape of music that will leave you with a feeling of pure bliss 💖

  • "This event is very special. What I like about the Prague marathons compared to others is the amazing combination of passionate dancers dancing to music played by passionate, experienced DJ's in a very quaint and comfortable venue, serving up very tasty buffet style meals and loads of snacks in between. I love how the snacks and meals are integrated completely with dancing area. The dancing is seemingly non-stop, starting from noon lunch/brunch until 6 AM in the morning. And perhaps the best is the general atmosphere of being relaxed and unpretentious, attended by friendly passionate dancers. Why I would recomend this event to my friends? Because it is a great way to dance a lot to really good music, to chill out with friends, and to get to know passionate salsa people much more closely than would be possible at larger, more formal salsa events."

Romantic Grotta

Havlíčkovy Sady, 12000 Prague 2, Czechia

The Grotta is the main attraction of the Havlicek Gardens and looks like a fairytale with its peculiar rock formations. The artificial cave looks unusual on the building and features the arcade promenade which is quite unique in Prague. The Grotta dates back to 1871 to 1888 when it was intricately built by Moritz Grobe, a millionaire. After renovation in 2011, the cave was opened for public.
