After a couple of unsuccessful attempts during 1993-1995, still living in Frankfurt, he recorded 8 tracks in the later declared "Electrolatino" style. In a fever vision the name "Señor Coconut", placed on top of a coconut texture, a design that would become the artwork of the first "Señor Coconut" album appeared to him. Even though Schmidt tried to complete the album in Frankfurt, the preparations for his move to Chile prevent this plan. In March 1997, Schmidt together with his colleague Dandy Jack, moved to Santiago de Chile where they shared a rented house and installed their studios. During March and April he finished the "El Gran Baile" album, which would be the first work bearing the name of "Señor Coconut".
