It was in 1998 that I started to experiment with trance and ambience. I started to use my Kin , blue lunar monkey, from the mayan dreamspell , the monkey plays and enphasizes magic. I started to play live with a Roland MC-505 and a korg Prophesy. Since then I had played in events such as , Acasoundfest, Earth Dance , Maracame and hundreds of parties around the country. In 2000, I started Mandala, a party producing label. Bringing trance to every corner of Mexico. I have had the honor to share the stage with some of the greatest trance musicians.
