With DJ Monne from Holland he has played at different night venues under a minimal / electro concept called: Get up and Dance! The project started from an initiative that started at the Full Moon parties on the beach of Sitges in the summer of 2006- From there on they started organizing Minimal / Electro parties at more intimate places like music bars throughout Barcelona. This to join people who come and have a chat and a drink with their friends and dance to their favorite music, which is hard to find these days in the city. Lately they’ve also organized after parties and even played at an art gallery.

Recently he has teemed up with his old buddy from Holland to make some great new tracks and teamed up with the label UTCH from Chile.
