Hector was first introduced to electronic music through some international students from the UK studying in Guadalajara. After leaving school at the age of 18 and no longer able to play football, Hector decided to move to London despite not speaking any English.[1][2] Whilst living in London Hector secured a job at Phonica Records in Soho after meeting the owner, Simon Rigg, in Ibiza.[3] It was here that he met Anja Schnieder & Loco Dice who would later give him jobs on their respective labels, Mobilee & Desolat
