His house and tech house sets are defined by a groovy, dancefloor-driven sound. He has been one of the hosts of CityMatiné since 2012, and since 2015 one of AETHER's leading DJs and a regular performer in the RAW series. Over the years he has played in numerous clubs across Budapest, as well as at Sziget, Balaton Sound, and B my Lake!, among others.
