Biography

Born in Colombia and based in Berlin, he has been known since his mega hit “Phonky Tribu” for shaping the groovy trance sound of today with genre-fluid productions. His music has come out on labels including Speedmaster Records, KTK, Taapion, Color, A Million, Terminal V and Teletech.[1]

In 2025 he launched TRIBE, a label and platform uniting music and identity. The two arena shows he played at the Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá that year both sold out, and Wildlands adds that he received official recognition from the City Council.[2][3]

Wildlands lists performances at Tomorrowland, EDC Vegas, Awakenings, Glitch, AVA, Creamfields, Dreamstate LA and Time Warp Brazil. With Armin van Buuren he has made “Nirvana”, released on Armada Music.[2][4]

Sound

Insomniac describes music highly influenced by the electronic sound of the 90s and 2000s, with a retro-futuristic atmosphere. Wildlands places him at the forefront of a new wave of trance-inspired club sounds, fusing the emotion of classic trance with modern club energy.[1][2]
