Following this new found calling, Baffa pursued a career as a Techno Dj which led him to land his first residency at the local cult venue “La Belle Époque”.

This resulted in several credits as music composer and sound designer for important clients such as Coca Cola, Mc Donald’s, HBO Ole, AXN, Sony Entertainment Television among others. He was also a member of another musical project called “Chucknorris”, which allowed him to work with other recognized musicians on stage to bring a fusion of electronic music, hip hop, latin folk, and rock. These incursions proved to be successful with nominations to MTV Video Music Awards and touring around Latin America in the year 2006. Baffa remained relevant to the club culture by being one of the founder members of the techno collective “Teklab”, which pushed other unexplored genres locally such as minimal techno and electro, throwing popular parties and touring around his country. Also his name was being spread internationally with several productions on labels such as Safari Electronique, Stimulus Recordings, Regular Records among others.
