Der Mystik was born in Pereira, Colombia in March 2 of 1978. In 2004 he started making music and in 2006 he released his first record. Ever since, he has released music with Armada Music, Yakuza, Magic Island, Silent Shore, Lost Language, Redux Recordings, Big Alliance and Blue Soho.

Rather than making sounds that are world wide popular, he goes for the totally unconventional and experimental. His music is greatly influenced by film and world music.

In 2013 he announced his retirement, yet in 2016 he comes back as Caellus & Camulus and his own digital record label "World of Caellus", bringing to the table yet another experimental idea of fusing Electronic Dance Music, literature and art together.
