Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm a bass house producer from Sevilla, in the south of Spain, and what I'm trying to portray from my sound is that latin music and very-bad-quality reggaeton music isn't all that goes on in the scene here. I also do a few spinoff tracks where I can remix a track from a popular artist or a very commercial song into the classic & "old-school" future house sound, such as my "New Rules" remix, from Dua Lipa, or a "Get Low" remix I made, the original being from Zedd & Liam Payne:

But ultimately, my main focus is bass house. My most recent self-released track, On The Run, has amassed over 1,000 plays on SoundCloud thanks to promotion from the Spinnin' Records Talent Pool.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences largely come from the American & European bass house scene; producers such as Ephwurd, Jauz, JVST SAY YES and Rootkit have all given me a huge step in the right direction as to where I want to take my music proffesionally, while other producers such as Ellis, Beau Collins or even Oliver Heldens have mostly given me an indicator towards a more commercial and more mainstream product, for my remixes (mostly).
What´s new right now?
I have a couple of things in the works waiting to get a response back from some record labels, and that will hopefully be released with any of them, and if not, I'll self-release, once again. There's a couple of links here to On The Run, and another, more swung and hardcore bass house track, called Absence:
