He's been spinning in Europe and USA since 1993 and played in Argentina with top Dj's all over the world.

Diego has played in every underground place, gig or party that have been made in the whole of Argentina, since the mid-eighties. He introduced and played in Buenos Aires various house and techno styles in different clubs as he was influenced by them.
