Blue Lunar Monkey is the day I (Daniel Gradilla) was born on the Mayan calendar, Kin 171.

It was in 1998 that he started to experiment with trance and ambience. He started to use his Kin , blue lunar monkey, from the mayan dreamspell , the monkey plays and enphasizes magic. He started to play live with a Roland MC-505 and a korg Prophesy. Since then he had played in events such as , Acasoundfest, Earth Dance , Maracame and hundreds of parties around the country. In 2000, he started Mandala, a party producing label. Bringing trance to every corner of Mexico.
