The beginnings for Dj Saeg in the sound system culture began in February 2011 when he became the official DJ of Lengualerta, one of the artists that some consider most representative of mexican reggae lasting 12 long years together.

However Dj Saeg began much earlier as a producer and turntableist player since 1999 always impregnated by this culture although without being a participant.Together with Lengualerta they have joined forces 2011-2024 traveling across Mexico and internationally in 2017 in Germany in cities like Heidelberg, Munster and Berlin, in Switzerland: Luzern and Bern, Austria: Vienna and in the Czech Republic: Prague.

The contribution that Dj Saeg has offered to the scene is the peculiarity of adding scratches on the genres influenced by Jamaican music, which is not common even worldwide. Selecting and manipulating samples that in his opinion are better suited to these sounds, he has obtained the acceptance of audiences who, despite seeing it as an exotic and unfamiliar element, often manage to translate it into dance movements when enjoying a session of Mexican underground sound system. He has also played within different projects for up to 15k people in Mexico and different festivals and clubs in Chicago, Denver, Whichita, New Orleans, St Luis, San Francisco in the US and in different cities around UK, Ecuador, Brazil, Guatemala and Spain

In 2023 he published his first dub EP with the Californian label Avocaudio Records managed by the renowned Roomate and then on Culture Dub in France.

Dj Saeg has collaborated with vocalists internationally such as Omar Perry, Brother Culture and Longfingah (lllibilly Hitec)  It is always characterized by challenging the ears of the purists of the genres, trying to make the borders between genres more flexible, seeking to find links that are fresh and that arise from a limitless nature such as that of Dj Saeg.

Los inicios para Dj Saeg en el Sound System dentro de los sectores del Reggae comenzaron en Febrero de 2011 al convertirse en el Dj oficial de Lengualerta, uno de los artistas que algunos consideran mas representativos de esta cultura en nuestro país, juntos durante 12 largos años.

Sus sesiones de dub a nivel internacional han sucedido en Festival Kupuri en 2014, Berlin en 2017 en el club Aller Eck, en 2019 en el Festival Cosmic Convergence en Guatemala y en 2023 en Colorado en Estados Unidos.   No obstante Dj Saeg comenzó mucho antes como productor y tornamesista desde 1999 siempre impregnado por esta cultura aunque sin ser participe. 

Con diferentes proyectos ha tocado en Auditorio Nacional, Teatro Metropolitan, Bellas Artes, Cine Plaza Condesa, Salon 21 Foro Sol , y en mas de 20 ciudades en clubes y festivales en países como Guatemala , Estados Unidos,Ecuador, Inglaterra, España, Alemania, Austria, Republica Checa, Suiza, Brasil.

En 2023 publica su primer EP de dub con el sello californiano Avocaudio Records manejado por el reconocido Roomate y acontinuacion en Culture Dub en Francia

La aportación que Dj Saeg ha ofrecido a la escena es la peculiaridad de añadir scratches sobre los géneros influenciados por la música Jamaiquina, cosa que no es común incluso a nivel mundial. Seleccionando y manipulando sampleos que a su forma de ver se adaptan mejor con estos sonidos obteniendo ha obtenido la aceptación de las audiencias que a pesar de verlo como un elemento exótico y poco familiar a menudo lo logran traducir en movimientos de baile al disfrutar una sesión de sound system underground mexicano.


Dj Saeg ha colaborado con vocalistas internacionalmente como Omar Perry , Brother Culture y Longfingah (lllibilly Hitec) y a nivel nacional con los remixes de Olinka de su disco  Raices Somos transformando un par de tracks en versiones de dub y también una colaboración inédita por el momento con Sista Freedom otra excelente cantante de Reggae mexicano ademas ha sido Dj de Alika en Mexico desde 2021.
