Celebrating 15 years as a DJ, Big Al has been fine tuning his style since 1990. Well known for his epic 8++ hour extended journeys, AL has earned a solid reputation for himself in Montreal. Recently moving from his 5 year DJ Residency at Club Stereo where he also served as the Talent Buyer, the Artist Relations Director & the musical consultant for 2 years. He is a true Artist, often dropping his unique remixes and edits and shaking dancefloors across the world. He consistently contributes to the global underground movement of House Music and absorbs inspiration from everything around him while retaining his past as a focal point. His broad variety of influences has shaped his assorted and wide ranging sound which unifies many cultures. AL is a fan of true house music since the mid 80’s, he has rolled & evolved with the beat of changing trends & styles but always kept it real, simple and all about the music. He combines different elements and styles of electronic music (Deep, Tech, Funky, Tribal, Vocal, Old School, Chill Out, Afro/Brazilian & Disco) deliciously blending them into danceable and provocative sets charged with rhythm, soul & Drums!!!

Having lived all around the world, Al was able to identify with many cultures and traditions. Understanding the diversity of people, AL studied the music and refined his art in the Studio. In 1999, he won a JPF Award for the best song on a mixed compilation. In 2003, he was nominated by the Hour Magazine as one of Montreal’s “TOP 4” Beat Masters. Throughout his career, AL was invited to play in many music capitals across the world at legendary nights & clubs. From Tunnel (NYC), Centro Fly (NYC), Buzz (DC), Sullivan Room (NYC), Table 50 (NYC), Velvet Underground (London UK), Boa (Toronto), Penelope (Ibiza, Spain), Avalon (Los Angeles), to Pacha (Egypt).
