Music is a life necessity for Gregor Salto, who has been dj-ing and producing extensively since his early teens. Never satisfied with just one particular sound, Gregor constantly seeks to cross existing boundaries and take on new challenges.

Gregor has even extended his fame to most European countries, the Middle East, Africa, South America and the Caribbean. He obviously knows what it takes to rock a dancefloor - something he's still proving every day of the weekend from behind the decks. Through his label and through numerous studio collaborations, Gregor has come across many talented musicians. To stage this diverse group of artists and at the same time showcase the different aspects of his own musical identity, Gregor has launched Unite. During these long, latin, jazz and soul flavoured d-jam sessions, everything seems to come together. Because however versatile Gregor's music, all of it carries the same distinct and captivating flavour.
