From the age of 14 I started playing with his band called Ameba, a mixture of electronic and rock styles. one of the more influent drum and bass & dub step crew in Italy. In 98 started “Inner Vibes” on Radio Network 104 and Lifegate which aimed to spread the new sounds coming from the European club scene. Given my propensity to the jazzy way of approach on music, during my sets I starts from nu jazz broken beat and samba jazz from the 40’s and get through the most current deep-house and Jazzy-house releases, revealing a very eclectic style that looks to the dancefloor as far to the hear floor.
