Always focussed on delivering the most forward-moving music available, he became resident DJ at Warm Up, London in 2014, a night created by DJ and promoter Aidan Doherty, defined as “…a techno and electronica night that has grown into a hugely respected project showcasing the very best in forward thinking artists. 

The reputation has not only been founded on superb artist bookings but on the consistent high standard of Warm Up’s resident DJs playing ground-breaking sets.” Since then, Jorge has built up an impressive CV, playing in London, Paris, Lisbon, Ovifat and Montreal, and warm up sets to main acts including Sasha, Guy J, Olaf Stutt, John Monkman, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Gidge, Ryan Davis, Parra for Cuva, Arjuna Schiks, Rodriguez Jr., Some Chemistry, Van Did, and Hubert Kirchner, as well as making appearances at festivals such as Gottwood, Farr, NoName, Suit, Goat Community, Boom and Noisily.
