In late 2000, he signed with the Netherlands-based Sadie Records and released his first vinyl under the alias Subsky. His track Four Days was featured on Politics of Dancing, the first compilation album by Paul Van Dyk.
In 2003, he actively participated in the founding of Dinamo 103.8 alongside Ali Şahinbaş (Fuchs) and Mete Tavukçuoğlu (Agentorange), organizing and performing at numerous events. The following year, he co-founded the record label Red Flag Collective with Yunus Güvenen, Muzo Berberoğlu, and Barış Türker. Over its four-year operation, the label released and distributed six records worldwide.
Cervus has performed at some of Istanbul’s most iconic clubs, including Godet, Crystal, Switch, 7th House, and MiniMüzikhol, gaining recognition for his DJing skills.
