Vini contributes with regular shows to the Ministry of Sound and to radio stations on the Internet – The Global Channel and Dj-sets.com – and every Friday he does a show on a pirate radio station in London – Breaks FM.

At the same time, he periodically replaces Adan Freeland on his breakbeat show aired every Saturday on the famous radio station Kiss FM.

Between November 1993 and March 1997, he was the member of a larger team at Trinity World-Wide Records, dealing with the launch of many bands and artists, including Asian Dub Foundation, Raw Deal, MC Det with Red Snapper, B.L.I.M., T-Power, Full Moon Scientist, M.J. Cole, Shara Nelson and Kasha Project, DJ Trace, Shy FX, UK Apachi, Elisabeth Troy, Orange Kush, TEK ED and Jason Sparks.

He started as a promoter in clubs where jungle music ruled, and then he worked with A&R (Artist&Repertory – talent scouts for record houses.)

After two months only, he had an extraordinary success discovering and launching the greatest hit of all-times jungle, UK Apachi & Shy FX with “Original Nuttah,” which entered Top 40 in Great Britain.
