How did your journey into electronic music begin?
I started back in the 1980s, first experimenting with cassette tapes and vinyl records on homemade turntables. I later built a sound system for parties at my high school, and one thing naturally led to another. It was a beautiful beginning — almost like something out of a movie.

Persistence , Rhythm ,Emotion
06
What inspires you when creating music?
I simply let myself be carried by the music. It’s as if something else takes over in that moment and guides me — I just surrender and allow the music to be.
07
Describe your studio workflow or creative process.
First, my studio needs to be very clean, organized, and feel welcoming. I don’t like producing with people who don’t share the right vibe. When the connection is genuine — like with my Girlfriend & partner Mabel Caamal or my producer collaborators — that’s when the magic happens. I don’t like interrupting the creative process; once I start a project, I usually don’t stop until it’s finished. I’m always open to new techniques, and I avoid linear workflows — I prefer exploring multiple creative paths.
08
What makes this release special for you?
Honestly, all of my projects are like my children, and each one is equally important to me. Every track I create carries a deeply emotional part of who I am.
09
What message do you want listeners to feel on the dancefloor?
Basically, I want anyone listening to my music on the dance floor to feel the most powerful vibe — music that makes you dance and forget everything in that moment, simply flowing with the sound and the feeling.
10
Upcoming projects or future plans?
My plans right now are to focus on new productions for this year, consolidate the label projects I’m currently developing, and continue growing their impact and results. I also have several collaborations that have been in progress for some time and still need to see the light of day — so now is the moment to bring them to completion.
