In a second phase of his DJ career, he decides to experiment with different sounds; more specifically with those of House and Jazz, with obvious influences from DJ's like Fred Everything, Jay Tripwire, Jason Hodges, Joey Youngman, Colette, and Kaskade, among many others. He manages to find a sweet spot between Jazzy, Techy, and Funky House to create a chilled atmosphere that also invites people to move to the beats..
Part of his projects in this new phase are a track he's working on, that fuses the tribal sounds he loves so much, with the new techy sounds he's experimenting with. He's also embarking on a new journey at the club he is now resident at, Club Vertigo with DJ's like Dayhota.
