Electronic music lover and bedroom DJ since the late 80's (even though I was playing bigger parties in the past :-) who loves all types of music and electronic styles, like Tech/Deep/Organic House, Techno, Minimal, Indie Dance and Downtempo, but has also a fable for Psytrance music since this is what it all started with for me.

Just here to share my mixes and hope you like some of them. Hope I am able to make you smile, dance or whatever you feel like doing while listening.

I appreciate any comments good or bad and I am very happy over each new follower, re-posts or shares.

Peace, love, laughter and happiness to you All!!!
