Depending on the crowd and venue Mario can play a very deep, slow, groovy vocal set or he can also play a faster paced, more energetic and in your face style.  Keep you eyes and ears peeled for this Dj/Producer who is best known for his very charismatic presence and for always having a smile on his face.
