His foundation is house: deep, afro, tech, latin and melodic. Depending on the room and the crowd, he adds lounge, jazz, bossa nova, reggaeton and Turkish music. Calm over dinner, later charts, classics and urban for the dancefloor.

Every set is curated live, not played back. He reads the room and builds the night around it. His background in dentistry shows in the work: precise, prepared and with an eye for aesthetics.
