With this collaboration they co-owned their first song “Double Threat”.  It wasn’t too long after this ‘DJ Ace’ was inspired to go by a new alias, which would for most of his career be known as ‘Madman Pantha’.

A name fitting for DJ filled with energy, vigor, spontaneity, untapped creativity, and EDGE.  ‘Madman Pantha’ was distinguished from others in the industry. He had the advantage of being young and motivated, as well as being noticed for his versatility across the soca, dancehall, reggae, and pop culture genres.
