In the late 90s, Johnny Longen had his first contact with electronic music. His main references were Cari Lekebusch, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, and Jeff Mills. In 2002, he moved to São Paulo and started attending parties such as Circuito, Influence, Techcardia, Technoroute, and Technopride, as well as clubs like Lov.e, A Lôca, and Clash Club. He started playing in 2005, focusing on Hard Techno (Schranz) and participating in small underground parties and groups in São Paulo. In mid-2009, he returned to his roots, and pure Techno took over his sets.
