In 2002 both artists create a vinyl label named DECK, proposing an exclusive sound of cult in dancefloors of all around the planet , receiving support and consence from the dj star system.
In 2006 DJ Mag asked to the legend Carl Cox to choose one DJ to face off against, for a special covermount CD. The British techno superstar selected DJ Simi, above all others.
Then in 2008, comes Simi debut release on Dubfire SCI+TEC label. The tracks Errore di Sistema / R1 / Green Twister hit the shuffle techno vibe right on the head and proved Simi was just as capable of producing dark Detroit and Berlin inspired bleep thrillers, as he was at creating Chicago-led floor fillers.
Actually KENPO RECORDINGS,is the his label (started in 2010 with Antonio Grassia). Simi and Antonio find a sound solid,dub,with mechanic loop influenced by house,and a warm deep sound,all conceived straight for the dancefloor.

The song is charted by over 200 international djs.
Between 2018 and 2019, Simi makes a lot of House/Tech releases for labels such Snatch, Deeperfect, Stereo Productions, Little Festival, Switch Lab, This And That, Klaphouse, Shaman, Dirtyclub, Noexcuse and so many others.
In 2024, he reaches the first position in the Top 10 DeepTech chart on Traxsource, this time with his remix of Italobros called Revers.
