Since the mid-1990s he has released more than a dozen albums with music primarily inspired by the Berlin School of electronic music and space music on the labels Space For Music, Spotted Peccary Music, Lotuspike, Fruits de Mer Records, and Groove Unlimited, and contributed to compilations, including a tribute album to Michael Garrison. He also edits and produces videos for local television commercials, infomercials, corporate events, and music videos.
Jim Brenholts (Allmusic) describes Padilla as "one of the premier Berlin school sequencers in the U.S.A." [3] while Stewart Mason (also Allmusic) calls him a "Berlin-based electronic music guru" [4] which is factually a misleading as Padilla is based in California. [2]
