A very popular underground house music dj and producer in the industry and in Ibiza who has managed to sell a very rare cancer will headline a stage at Coachella in his first official performance since he has overcome the terrible disease.
In early June 2023, he posted an update to say that he had been “diagnosed with cNS (central nervous system) lymphoma, a very rare cancer that affects the brain and spine,” that it was “progressing fast” and that he had to “stay in the hospital and start treatment immediately.” It was then that decided to retire from the music scene.
But on September 26, 2023, just 48 hours after receiving his last chemotherapy treatment, he returned to Ibiza to play at the closing party of the DC10 nightclub. When he left the hospital, he shared a hopeful message on social networks: “When I arrived at the hospital I could barely walk. Today I leave with a smile after completing my main treatment. Tired but happy… My fight against cancer is not over… but, for now, a rest and some extra time to enjoy life”.
Said and done. Two days later, his fellow djs and fans had him in Ibiza doing what he likes the most: DJing.
In recent years, the name of this dj has sounded strong in all the posters of the best party clubs in the world. Due to his growing success, in 2020 the young man founded his own record label, Iso Lat, and in 2019 he was awarded at the DJ Awards as best artist of the genre as he is among the best, as Calvin Harris or David Guetta.
