the recently launched terrace at Space. As his reputation grew so did the bookings and during 1993, after basing himself in London, he began his residency at Kudos and Crews Bar in the heart of Covent Garden. Regular sets at Tribal Gathering, The Limelight, Club UK and Heaven together with an arduous touring schedule saw Ariel become a pioneer of the international DJ circuit. A 1994 performance at Bunker disco club in Buenos Aires can be seen on YouTube. During these years Ariel was photographed by art designer ‘Trademark’ making him a pin-up on the London scene and adding to his public profile. While playing at Browns Club in London's Covent Garden in 1994, Ariel met late musician Prince. It's not the first time Ariel DJed for Prince, but on this occasion Prince was the only person on his dancefloor. Prince had the habit of giving Ariel CDs of his own music to play.

Three months later he moved to the main room, where he performed for 8 hours, from 11pm to 7am playing a fusion of hard house, trance and techno rhythmically inspired by his Latin roots. For that period, Freedom was one of the busiest Saturday nightclubs in London. Over the next 5 years (1996–2001) many music magazines and websites started labeling Ariel's 8 hour sets at Bagley's Studios legendary.

This Freedom reunion-comeback desire was ignited a few years after the club ceased in 2002. However, as of May 2007, those attempts were unsuccessful.
