DJ Alber Ensso presented his first single, Easter Rhapsody,[8] to the public on April 22, 2019, during a joint live show with Robert Babicz, at the largest pavilion of Armenfilm movie studio in Yerevan, Armenia.
Alber Ensso says: "A DJ’s credo is to create good music, and each single is simply their business card to ensure the next one happens." The musical genres that have influenced him the most are Organic House, Progressive House, Melodic house and Techno. His musical style today is Organic House, Afro house and in fact he tried many other genres too, until he found his style. He says: "From the past there are many differences from now as I evolved into my natural style and found my own wave. I came from Armenia where I lived 21 years and it did influence on my style, because it does bring a new sense into the music for example popular music instruments in Armenia like Duduk or Qanon".[9]

Live performance in Armenfilm
The live show in iconic Soviet-era film studio Armenfilm on April 22, 2019, was named a "discovery" by local media.[10] The huge platform was mentioned not able to involve all the masses, who wanted to join.[11]
"The audience was really cut off from everything. Feeling was that you are in a good European club where people come in for good sound and amazing light effects. And most importantly, in a great environment where you feel yourself relaxed. Regardless of your music preferences, you spend terrific time through a morning with strangers who turn out to be your soulmates, enjoying together fresh sounds, bits and vibrations", Armenian media reported of the event. "The main goal of the organizers of this mega event is to make Armenia one of the major electronic music centers. We want to engage the greatest of the musicians into our initiative", DJ Alber Ensso, author of the event, told NEWS.am STYLE.[12]
Aragats mountain record
On July 11, 2019 for about two hours DJ Alber Ensso's mix of progressive house, melodic techno and underground was resounding on the mountain Aragats, at the altitude of 3,153 meters. He thus became the first DJ in Armenia to successfully mix these styles into an invigorating and unique sound. The performance was registered in "the Book of heroes" – the Armenian analogue of the Guinness Book of Records.[13]
Vartan Tovmasyan, the President of the "Association of Heroes", who was present at the event notes:
"This was quite a challenge DJ Alber Ensso successfully mastered. You have to deal with sound, pressure and breathing. In addition to the pressure fluctuations at such an elevation, which is a serious problem by itself, there is also the problem of ensuring a good music sound. The music becomes almost ‘uncontrollable’ in the strong wind and open air: the sound comes and goes with the wind, which causes serious mixing problems. DJ Alber Ensso did a masterful work!"[14]
