bio

aljxdro is a DJ and event organizer based in McAllen, TX, rooted in the sounds that defined underground dance music from the early 90s through the mid-2000s — hardgroove, ghetto house, and the raw Chicago funk that ran through Paul Johnson, DJ Sneak, and DJ DEEON, filtered through the sleeker European touch of Daft Punk and Ian Pooley.

His sets are built on layering and feel — tight blends, unexpected combinations, grooves that lock in and don't let go. Function over flash, always in service of the floor.

In McAllen, he runs two monthly events: Open Decks at The Gremlin, an open-format night giving local DJs a real stage, and Sip & Spin at Grind Coffee, a bring-your-own-vinyl session for diggers and curious ears. Both have built consistent, dedicated audiences in the RGV.
