Gibran’s musical vision of the dance floor has varied and spanned many surfaces of dance music. Being exposed to the underground scene back in 1998, He got his first introduction to the club scene by the drum and bass community. Back then, he was an mc for the dnb movement. Playing at illegal underground parties, while he was staying in London pursuing his study. Up until year 2000, Gibran’s passion for the dance scene grows even harder. He then switch to the taste of progressive and house after being enthralled by a fellow local DJ at an underground party that was held over at his friend’s. He then started collecting vinyls. Beforehand he has share the taste of Trance during the height of Trance era back in 1997. At that time, ATB, Future Sound Of London and Paul Oakenfold was what he listens to the most. Having influenced deeply by artists such as Sasha, John Digweed, Sander Kleinenberg, The “Wicked” Team (Jeno, Garth & Markie Mark), Gibran’s musical vision has take him to where he is now. Gibran has shared decks with international acclaimed artists such as Max Graham, Swayzak, Richie Hawtin, James Holden, Paul Rogers, Dwayne Brief, Future Traxxx, Ed2000 (dangerous drums, German), Supercozi a.k.a Zen Lemonade (Hypo=Espresso,Japan & Dragonfly Records, London) & D Ramirez.

He’s also focusing on his solo work ‘Deep Nebula Hits To The Sun’ that is purely electronic from an analog standpoint.
