Our DJ’s

Jessica Carleson (Stockholm, Sweden)

I always look for music that has energy, warmth and drive, that relentlessly pushes you to the pista. It is a true priviledge to serve you this mix of joy, quiet reflection, passion, fervour, and drama that is tango.I’ve been a dj since 2015. I co-organise Alma de Bohemia, a queer and double role marathon, and two milongas in Stockholm.

Eva-Lena Ahlberg (Linköping, Sweden)

«Already from the beginning, when I started dancing tango, I was fascinated by the music. My first DJ-job was in 2007 and since then I was stuck. I’m playing regularly at milonga La Barranca in Linköping, but also at different venues in Sweden and Norway. I play classical tango music from the 20s to the 40s with cortinas. The music is of course prepared before the milonga, but I make the final playlist along the way. Every milonga is unique with its flow, rhytm and taste! This is my fifth performance in Hell.»

Nils Ahlberg (Linköping, Sweden)

DJ Nisse from Linköping in Sweden is one of our regular DJ that has been in Trondheim many, many times before. DJ Nisse mostly plays the “golden age” tandas with plenty of playfulness and romance in it. He also loves a good beat and finding good compositions within every single tanda. We are looking forward to listening to your music for the fifth time in Hell!

Anders Flaarønning (Trondheim, Norway)

I am one of the local DJs in Trondheim, who mainly plays traditional tango music. In my playlists, tango orchestras such as Troilo, d’Arienzo and Pugliese are well represented, but I like to add some surprises as well.

Transportation

You can go to Hell by all means of transportation – plane, train, bus or car (and even by boat). Check your flights here. The venue is situated a very short walk from Trondheim airport. If the weather is nice, it would only take 5-6 minutes. But if Hell freezes over, you can find a taxi just outside the exit – but you pay a lot for the 45 seconds ride! The train station is either at Hell or Trondheim airport. The distance is about the same from both train stations (8-10 minutes walk). All buses also stops near the venue, or at Trondheim airport. And if arriving by car, there is free parking for you.

The venue – Scandic Hell Hotel

Scandic Hell Hotel is one of the best hotels in the area. It received the award «3rd best breakfast in Norway» in 2018, the best breakfast in Norway in 2019 and the food delivered to Tango in Hell 2012 was absolutely superb! Just take a look at the video. All meals are of course included in the full packages.

The dance floor at «Stiklestad» is very good with plenty of space in a nice atmosphere.

Room standard is also very good, and has  improved after a recent refurbishment.

There is a relaxation area with a swimming pool, sauna and a gym (06:30-22:00). If you want to get away for a minute or 10, you can visit Vertigo bar (open until 02:00) at the second floor where you can have a free coffee or tea during the whole stay. Free coffee and tea is also available at various station around the hotel. Other snack or beverages you have to pay for yourself.

You can also rent a bike at the hotel if you want to explore the area (but check the forecast first. It might be chilly – even in Hell).

Close to the venue, you find Hell Center with a variety of shops. Opening hours Friday 9-20, Saturday 9-17. Rema (groceries) Friday 7-22. Saturday 7-21. Ditt apotek (pharmacy) Friday 11-18, Saturday 9-16. Sunday closed.

Shop

This is Hell

Bilderesultat for hell godsexpedition
Hell station, with Gods-Expedition

The village of Hell (population 1589) has become a tourist attraction because of its name, as visitors often have their photograph taken in front of the station sign. A smaller building on the railway station has been given the sign Gods-expedition, which is the archaic spelling of the word for ”handling goods” (godsekspedisjon would be the spelling in the contemporary Norwegian language). The word «hell» in Norwegian actually means «luck» so you should actually consider yourself lucky to be in Hell :-). Hell is situated 4 kilometers from Stjørdal, and 35 kilometers from Trondheim.
