Not afraid to play a quality “Hit” to get the crowd going, but always trying to have a good balance between fun known stuff for the crowd and new stuff.

our- But the music always evolves and changes with more or less of the different styles and flavors depending on the seasons, locations, rooms, parties, or specific style set announced for the different party’s/clubs.

Though his strength lies in longer extended sets, for open minded crowds ready to be surprised, entertained, educated in a fun and easy way, and most, taken on a journey.

The main thing is about the vibe and getting a party atmosphere whenever and whatever it get-takes.
