More than 15 years of DJ-ing experiences, ardent dedication, and a unique choice of music (varying from one set to another) have modelled a DJ/Producer, who enjoys a big respect and popularity at the Croatian electronic music scene. His deep love of electronic music has produced an equisite music taste, which is the primary source of inspiration for his work. He uses his technical skills to perfection, playing with mathematically structured Techno sequences and moods, while hypnotising the audience with relentlessly percussive driving beats. He like dj sets fluctuate between being hypnotic and powerful, and he love to knit into them the musical influences mentioned above. Music taste built on electronic music of the 80s and 90s gave him a good basis for the work he doin’ nowdays, from tribalistic driving bangin’ techno to sometimes harder techno-house sets.
