I started DJing as a 20 year old living in Barcelona. I worked at the techno club Moog, and during the day, plowed through vinyls at the local record stores. I mostly played at small clubs, events, bars and also had a steady weekly at Cityhall where I played Electro. Then had a couple of trips to Berlin where I played Tresor and Berghain.
When I moved to Berlin, I founded my own imprint Wired Records and released my debut album Wired Stuff in 2005. I was focusing on producing my own music, while playing Live all over Europe. But I still DJed sometimes, mostly at queer events in Berlin.
For many years my DJ hat has been lying on the shelf, until back in January 2022, when starting my podcast My House In Your Haus. The fun joy of making playlists and mixing tracks, prompted my DJ hat off the shelf.
