He's remixed such leading acts as Paul Oakenfold, Above & Beyond, and Lange amongst others, and worked with labels like Vandit, Anjunabeats, Nebula, AVEX Japan, Logic US or Lost Language just to name a few.^[1]

As a DJ, he long lost his record case; plays with a laptop, often creating his own mashups in clubs on the fly. He plays outside Hungary quite frequently. He's had gigs in Switzerland, USA, Finland, Germany, Holland, Slovenia, Spain and France.^[2] His weekly radio shows are broadcast on Hungary’s Roxy FM, ETN.FM in America & Trancetream.fm

He also has a TV show: “Laptop Dj” (broadcasted on Cool TV Hungary). It's a mixture about the international dance music scene. Watch him traveling around the world to meet artists, DJ's and other interesting people.

[edit] Public uproar in Hungary after a deadly accident

He caused a car accident driving at around 100 km/h in Budapest on 17 December 1998, under the influence of drugs, and killing a policeman. Although it was obvious that he caused the accident, he was not sentenced to imprisonment. It also turned out that after the accident he tried to cheat with his insurance to get money for his ruined car. These resulted in public uproar and ruined his career in Hungary.^[3]
