Comenzó en 1998 jugando con su computadora, experimentando en el hobby del DJing con sonidos que iban del house al techno. Influenciado por artistas como Dj Dan, Derrick Carter y Dj Sneak, fue nutriéndose de un house de rítmica funky. En el año 2001 formó el Banshee Team y armaron sus propias fiestas en Electra, un pequeño club porteño. A partir de ese momento fueron recorriendo varios lugares, participando en distintos eventos. Más tarde hicieron residencia en Superclub (Buenos Aires News). Al mismo tiempo, de forma paralela empezó a residir en el afterhour Wicked.

Influenced by artists like DJ Dan, Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak, he acquired a taste for funky house. In 2001 Manuel formed Banshee Team and began having his own events at a small local club, Electra. The team went on to having several other gigs around Buenos Aires including special events. Later that year, the team had started to lead a residency at Superclub (@ Buenos Aires News). Concurrently, Manuel was playing at the weekly afterhour Wicked. Over time the members of Banshee parted ways to pursue their personal careers. Manuel gained for the first time the opportunity to play his music independently. Several gigs included clubs and radios like Metrodance FM, an all electronica radio station in which he competed in Heinekens Thrist contest (2002). Sahagun was selected in the top 10.
