As head of the Sounds of Earth organization (www.soundsofearth.net), he has organized great trance parties in the Mexico City area with national talent as well as some of the best international dj´s. His involvement in the Mexican trance scene has definitely helped to shape it positively. In 2001, he signed with Spirit Zone Recordings (www.spiritzone.com), one of the most important trance labels in the world. Taking part in radio, he co-produced “Psychotherapy” (96.9 WFM), a weekly psy trance radio show with a big audience in Mexico (2002).
