It must go up and down and have different elements, but always with a groove, Pero adds.He has spun alongside with some of the best DJs in the world working with Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, Stacey Pullen, Mr C, Luke Slater, Richie Hawtin, Claude Young, Terry Francis, Westbam, Layo & Bushwacka, Agoria, Kevin Saunderson, Jean Marie K. whom he was instrumental in bringing to Croatia for the first time.
