On a Thursday night at a club in Leon, Mexico, Alex Acosta’s dream of becoming a DJ unknowingly came true. The resident DJ was a no show, and a few of Alex’s friends convinced the club manager to let him try out. Alex had never spun at the time but his passion for music and massive collection of CDs paid off as he ended up spinning for 1800 people from 9pm-3am. Very soon after this Alex scored his first residency at this massive club.

Alex is a superstar international DJ, spinning all over the world in countries such as Mexico, US, Canada, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, China, and South Korea. He is the first Mexican DJ to ever headline 3 different major Circuit Festivals in Asia: gCircuit’s Song Kran (Bangkok, Thailand), HEAVEN (Shanghai, China) and G5 (Taipei, Taiwan). In addition, in America he has performed at several big festivals, such as 1Life Festival (Southern California), San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair, Motor City Gay Pride (Detroit, MI), San Francisco’s Dance Stage Gay Pride, and his debut in NYC at one of its iconic brands WORK. Alex Acosta has proven himself to be a guaranteed crowd pleaser on dance floors around the world

Alex’s unique style of music encompasses lots of high energy punch with those true Alex Acosta drums that we all love to hear. His sets are the result of tons of hard work and blocking himself in his studio all week so he can throw out that dose of unique music at each of his gigs. It’s important to Alex that his fans (new and old) are served lots of exclusive and original mixes each and every week. He has collaborated with many artists such as Kristine W., Maya Simantov, and San Francisco’s very own Caroline Lund!  When asked who he would love to work with, two artists came immediately to mind. Samantha Jones and Madonna. Alex was born in Mexico, has two sisters and one brother, and currently calls both Mexico and San Francisco his home as he splits his time between the two.

At an earlier time in his life Alex had a love for rock music and even started up his own rock band. We had the pleasure of meeting the superstar DJ at the Club Beatbox in San Francisco while he was spinning and we both felt a magnetic presence that just grabbed your attention.  You feel like you are in the presence of a celebrity!
