If breaking stereotypes, passion and talent is what it takes to stand out as an artist, Santos is definitely unique. Born of Cuban parents in Puerto Rico he began his carrer as a dj when he was 13 y/o. Now at 33, and with 20 years of experience behind him, he can comfortably say that he has done things his way.
His sets develop from minimal, tech-house and tecwave and evolve into techno with a tribal, melodic feeling and an energetic and aggressive approach to his mixing; always maintaining a solid energy level, deep groove and a connection to the crowd. Early influences include: New Order, Nitzer Ebb, Depeche Mode, Front 242, 808state, The Cure, among others.
