Philly born and raised, AL started DJing in 1995 at age 16. Starting out playing at local underground house parties, he got his first performing gig at age 17 and continued playing local Philly gigs, raves, parties, underground events for years to come. Most notable for his Breaks mixes and events in the early 2000s as half of the Discobotz and part of the Reflective Multimedia crew. They hosted and collaborated with numerous UK and Stateside Nu Skool Breaks producers and DJs, while elevating the local Philly breaks and underground electronic music scene. Known for his creativity and technical prowess, blending House, Breaks, Techno, UK Bass and other genres, affinity for Drum & Bass with the mixes to match, and the ability to rock the dancefloor, festival, boat party, burn… or any place music and dancing is required. He moved into the mainstream, opening Live Nation events, playing at major concerts and outdoor festivals, but flying under the radar just doing the job. His re-entry into the underground scene began in 2024, once again appearing at underground electronic music events across the Philly area and at burns across the country. He’s also worked as a VJ, Video Tech, Stage Crew, Audio Engineer, Box Office manager, and who-knows-what else for major events, broadcasts, concerts and more… He’s never stopped working on his music and mixes, and is back reinventing his underground style and sound to showcase his skill, experience, passion, and encompass the joy in making people dance…
