The following years he spun in many club/bars of that city as Daily bar, Stoa bar, Mylos club, Decadence club, Rocknrolla bar, Block 33, Zenith club.
After finishing his studies, in the summer of 2006, he moved to Mykonos island where he became a resident dj at Bolero bar, Paradise lounge beach bar, Ikaros bar and appeared as guest dj in Aroma bar, 13teen bar, Space club, Radio Paraga beach bar, Queen bar, Pierro’s bar/club, Cavo Paradiso club, etc. For two years (2011-2012), with the idea of keeping alive the underground electronic music scene in Mykonos town, he opened and managed Jazmin bar.
