During that year he won a Kaoma - Lambada dance music explosion in Europe reaching #1 in the European charts.

He coordinated vinyl-to-CD transfer on classic Celluloid albums and on those produced by Caetano Veloso on vocals - portraying the futurist jungle/drum & bass movement to come.

In 1993 he founded the Meta in Europe shortly before his venture into conceiving fusions of drum & bass with established genres as a tool for new music.

In 2004 along with Bill Laswell and Guy Licata (drums).

Between 2004 and 2008 he collaborated on the first four projects under the banner of Method Of Defiance: Brutal Calling with Bill Laswell vs Submerged, Inamorata by Method Of Defiance featuring Bernie Worrell on keyboards, and Bill Laswell on bass.

In 2016 he formed a power trio inspired by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and by The Word of The Lord through Moses the prophet; Moses wanted to know the name of God who leads him to His enslaved people in Egypt and God reveals His name as "I AM" with an explanation: "I AM who I AM" (Ex. 3: 13, 14). The trio was named I AM LED with Andrei Andrei (vocals, guitar), Matt Renneke (bass), and Nico Rodrigo (drums) and disbanded in 2017 after finishing their first and only bootleg album, Seventy Sevens: an eight track recording rooted in black American music with musical foundations such as blues, rhythm & blues and gospel which rock & roll was built on.
