   Ru @ M2 for Tiki Tiki Nights

   This mix was recorded live at M2 Miami for Tiki Tiki Nights, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. Huge thanks to everyone who came out, danced, and filled the room with such amazing energy — you made the night unforgettable. I played to the crowd as much as possible, feeding off every reaction and letting the vibe guide the journey. It was one of those sets where everything just clicked — the music, the people, and the moment. It's a Dj's dream to step up to the decks and see a room as full as this one was. Truly an amazing night. Massive love to Pitchpark and M2 Miami for hosting us, and to all the DJs from the Vice City Collective who made the night so special. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew to share the decks and the dance floor with. Thank you all for being part of it — can't wait for the next one!

   Monthly Melodies Accomplished August

   This August i'm feeling incredibly accomplished, and blessed. I have 4 big events on the horizon, and I can't wait to see you all at them! For starters, on Friday August 15th we have a 6 hour stream coming from EL garage where we will be playing all of the Genres with the whole Vice City Gang. Then next week August 22nd, I will be taking the stage with my homegirl Tatianna at Mazuma, opening up for the great Giuseppe Ottaviani. On Septempber 20th, the whole vice city crew will be taking over Earthly Delights in Ridgewood NY. If you're in the area, please hit me up on my instagram to come by because it's going to be a private event, but it will be us playing ALL NIGHT LONG! Then....this is the big one, we will be playing M2 formerly known as Mansion on October 3rd! This one is very special to me, because i've spent so much time there. We will be taking over the room from 10-5, and we got a BANGING line up as usual with the Vice city Crew. I hope that if you can't make it to all, you can at least make it to one. I and the whole vice city crew would really love that. With all of that being said, I feel accomplished :). This time last year, I hadn't played a gig in a nightclub in over 4 years.

   Que Vuelta mi jente! Welcome to another episode of Monthly Melodies. July’s been feeling smooth so far… so it only felt right to call this one Jazzy July.

    January Jumble 2025

    January Jumble came together later than expected, a reflection of the twists and turns life threw my way at the start of the year. But sometimes, the best journeys are the unplanned ones. This mix is designed for you to put your headphones on and escape—whether that means getting lost in deep thought, finding your focus while working, or simply letting your mind wander. Blending Progressive and Techno, it moves through hypnotic rhythms, evolving melodies, and driving energy, creating a space where you can disconnect from the noise and immerse yourself in the music. Let the sound take you wherever you need to go. I also have to give a HUGE shoutout to my buddy Frank (also known as COS) for his new banger, that's in the middle of the set. Track listing : 1.

    Monthly Melodies 2024 Recap

    2024 was an incredible year in so many ways. Personally, I grew more than I ever expected, and musically, I explored new horizons, met new friends, and had new gigs. But the year wasn’t without its struggles. One of the hardest moments came toward the end when I had to say goodbye to my beloved disco pup Bentley. It was a deeply challenging time for me and my family, and for a while, I couldn’t find the energy or mindset to record this mix. It wasn’t until I felt ready that I was able to channel everything—the joy, the pain, the growth—into this set. I also want to take a moment to thank all the amazing artists whose tracks made this mix possible. Your creativity and talent inspire me endlessly and have been the soundtrack to my journey this year. This mix is as much a tribute to your work as it is a celebration of the past twelve months. This mix is a heartfelt reflection on what has been an unforgettable year for me, both personally and musically. Over 2.5 hours, I take you on a journey through the sounds that shaped my sets this year: Deep Tech, Progressive, Techno, Raw/Hypnotic Trance, and a touch of Psytrance to close things out. Each track is a piece of the puzzle, capturing the highs, the challenges, and everything in between. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, listened to my mixes, and shared this journey with me. Your energy and connection fuel my passion, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride. Here’s to the year that was, and to the music that brought it to life! Track Listing : 1.

    Satisfied September

    It is with great pleasure that I present to you Satisfied September. My FIRST of many mix's from El Garage, my new studio! It has been a long two and a half months since I started this project, and I can't begin to tell you how proud i'am of the way that it came out. There (of course) is still much to do, especially when it comes to camera angels, and recording set up. But the majority of the project is complete, and I couldn't be happier with it!
