His career spans some 20 years and includes numerous international hits released under many pseudonyms (remember Flamenco Trip and Que Idea?) but it is as D-Formation that he is best known and most respected. D-Formation is the name on the lips (as well as charts and play lists) of all the most important international DJs. The success of tracks such as 'Starstuff', 'Signs&Portents' and 'The Third Dimension' (recently remixed by Victor Calderone) has been underlined by critical acclaim as well as commercial success, and this creative renaissance has been confirmed by a welter of remixing commissions and requests for collaboration. D-Formation has remixed and recently added his distinctive sound to tracks by Victor Calderone, Smokin' Jo, Chus&Ceballos and Jocelyn Brown amongst others. One curious fact is that D-Formation's remix of 'La Noche' by Coca&Villa was one of the top selling legal internet downloads of 2004. The fruits of studio work with Victor Calderone will see the light of day as a single sometime in 2005 and D-Formation is also working on a remix and recreation of the track 'Cloud 9' sung by Claudia Brocken (of Propaganda) and written by Claudia with Martin L Gore (of Depeche Mode). Aside from his heady success as producer, remixer and label head it is worth remembering that D-Formation is and always will be one of the best house DJs in the world and probably one of the most innovative. Recent sessions in cities as far removed as Sao Paolo, Tel Aviv, Sofia, London, Tokyo and Mexico DF have left no room for doubt that D-Formation is house's fastest rising international DJ: not only is his house big enough for everyone but he is reshaping, remodeling and reinventing house: taking house home. A session from D-Formation is not a session but a seamless production, deeper and darker progressive house than you can imagine, interspersed with lighter, faster, brighter sounds than you thought imaginable: hearing is believing. It is also worth noting that D-Formation productions have been an integral part of the sets of the following DJs (amongst others, too many to name): Danny Tenaglia, Timo Maas, Deep Dish, etc. and have appeared on the best compilations around the world, from Global Underground to Pacha. The last D-Formation single 'Monike' charted high with top DJs like Anton Fielding worldwide and at the same time D-Formation had no less than FIVE tracks on the Balance Record Pool Top 40. The next D-Formation single is called 'Attack' and will be released in March. It is already shaping up to be his biggest record yet.

(Let's go, Jesse)
Baby I been tryna say
You been all up in my way
I been trying to ride the wave
It's ridiculous I hope it's just a phase
And the Percocet it's all up in my brain
It's too much with you I gotta numb the pain
You been talkin' down and spittin' on my name

But I thought you were the one it's such a shame
We was just two lovers
When I'm layin' with you it's a feelin' like no other
And everything you ever did it always felt so subtle
Cause girl this was a mission for you
You was undercover when we're underneath the covers
You were textin' all your friends
You're tellin' everyone that you and me were on the mend
I'm tellin' everyone this ain't a 9 this girl a 10
I can't believe I fucked around and I got played again
I should've listened to my friends
But it's over now
Now I always see you showin' out
You turn around I used to blow it out
Look at the time I must be goin' now
No I don't wanna be,
The one to wait around for it, there ain't no guarantee
You're playin' with my heart you know there ain't no you and me
And I don't really care if you thought we were meant to be
Girl your toxins got me blind so I can't see,
yeah
Baby I been tryna say
You been all up in my way
I been trying to ride the wave
It's ridiculous I hope it's just a phase
And the Percocet it's all up in my brain
It's too much with you I gotta numb the pain
You been talkin' down and spittin' on my name
But I thought you were the one it's such a shame
She could've just said, you don't to get fucked over?
Say that I'm with it
She know that I would do anything just to see her for a minute
I want to tell myself is this some shit I should've admitted
But deep down I feel like I was only goin' over just to hit it
Let me finish,
Just listen
And I ain't ever been a material guy
Because the intangible stay blessin' me with a serious high
Back to the topic she want somebody who charismatic so I told her hit me and make it happen
But if she try to roll my leaf then what we had's in a,
Casket
And it's dead to me
She still pressing me
Said there's chemistry
She want therapy
But I found love inside this melody
Found a remedy
Ion' even remember what the fuck you was tellin' me
You won't get the best of me
Couldn't live without it but I couldn't live within it,
Your love
I was twisted couldn't quit it if I left then I'd be numb
She ain't got no interest in my best interest,
You can't be the one
I would take us to the moon and back you would take us to the sun
Baby I been tryna say
You been all up in my way
I been trying to ride the wave
It's ridiculous I hope it's just a phase
And the Percocet it's all up in my brain
It's too much with you I gotta numb the pain
