In every human being and every child, we are all influenced by our experiences and we are molded into who we are today through our senses…sight, smell, taste, touch and SOUND…
The year 1980….
As a child growing up Eddie-Rey aka Aladdin was exposed to a melting pot of musical sounds 
such as Soul, Funk, Disco & Rock, thus developing a wide rage of musical tastes.
Aladdin and his brother Tony would secretly remove the parent’s turntable player from the living room to a secret place in their home to play records.
They would emulate the sounds heard coming from the radio on then local radio mix shows: KDIA fm radio, Mixmaster Michael Erickson (Oakland California) & KSOL fm radio Mixmaster Cameron Paul (San Francisco).
The sounds they would try to duplicate were often described as abusive & looping sounds from the tweaking of the needle.
Today it is known as mixing and scratching…This would be the beginning of a venture created by musical fate.
DJ Aladdin first began his musical career as a mobile dj playing records before he was a teen during the 1980’s era & pioneering b-boy movement in the South bay area, playing records then to only commercial crowds.
He played everything from early hip hop, soul, funk, freestyle, Disco & music from early electronic pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Mantronik and more.
As electronic music evolved, he found himself veering away from a commercial sound and developed a lust for underground dance music.
Aladdin has also had the honors to share the dj booth with world class acts :::
Kevin Hedge (BLAZE), Rich Medina, DJ Spinna, John Morales, Kon, Julius Papp, Jellybean, Tony Humphries, MR V, The Martinez Brothers, Osunalde, Jesse Saunders, Dubtribe Sound system, Mark Farina, Wicked crew, David Harness, Pete Avila, Rick Preston, Harry Who, Marlon D., Master Kev, Stacy Kidd, Roy Davis Jr., Alix Alvarez, Gene Hunt, The Rurals and many more.
