His names is Krisztian Gabor. He lives in Hungary, Budapest.He always interests in electronic dance music. When he was a child he recently listened to his father's vinyl collection. In 1996 one of his friend took him to a house party which was celebrated in Club Speed. By this time he began to take an interest in house music and dj technology. He started mixing in 1999, but seriously he have been dealed with music since three years.

His style is progressive/tech house, but he usually plays some electro-house and minimal also.

So far he played at some small parties and parties what he organized on his own.

In April 2005 he got invited to an Alfa Romeo-Honda car summit, where he played music during the whole program. There was 1000 people who heard his music, so he had a great time there.

In December 2005 he played in the New Year's Eve Party which was celebrated in a very exclusive place. That was the Tropicarium spot with sharks in Campona Center.

On the summer of 2006 he spinned on an afterparty which was celebrated in the Dokkolo Boat, Budapest.

In the end of 2006 he spinned music in club Supersonic, because there is a club event series where he was the rezident. It is called System Progressive, lots of famous dj play every week. His latest show was the New Year's Eve Party at Supersonic Club which I played more than 3 hours special set.

The reaction of the audience during a party is so important to him, thats why he always pay attention to them. If the appropriate consonancy evolves between the dj and the audience, it makes an awesome party and everybody has a great time. He constantly make promo mixes, which are usually appearing in party websites.
