About

ACW was born in St. Louis Missouri, USA in April 21 of 1964. His family comes to Mexico in 1966 and he lives in there since then.

In 1978 He and some of his school friends buy an Amplifier and some audio equipment to make parties with other friends or even rent the equipment to earn some money. Using an Open Reel Tape Recorder ACW starts to mix some records with old Garrard Turntables without pitch or speed control.

The crew decides to name that Sound & Light group as "Wizard's" because they almost have to do magic to get all working with a few equipment and few money.

In Wizard's ACW start to mix and learn to mix by his own, he feel so confident with his mix after a year, and decide to jump and work in a real Club. At 16 years old he work a week in a Club but was to young and inexpert to work there. One person of that Club do him a test that ACW Fails. ACW was so angry that he couldn't mix the song this fellow put it for start the mix (and the test) that he decide to find a way to mix ALL music with a technique that could be followed no matter what music he plays.

After 3 months he found a technique that allow him to mix every kind of music (similar that we today know as harmonic mixing or key mixing) and counting something like BPM equivalent.

Was 1980 and ACW was ready to mix. 1980, a year of parties and events with friends. In 1981 "Wizard's" do his best year and continue with up & downs until in one tragic night ACW lost all his Equipment after a party. In that Days ACW was in College & works half time too. The parties where something from the past at this time and a year after that starts as a Club DJ in a small town with a friend from his class.

"Weekend" was the name of the club and ACW work there from 1988 to 1998 playing almost every kind of music. The Club was so successful that no other clubs could make a shadow on "Weekend" in almost 10 years.

ACW takes a deep breath & stay away from the clubs for some years. ACW Start in 1996 a Computer Science company mainly doing consulting. The music was in stand by but in 2000 in Mexico was a boom of Electronic Music and he can listen to it 24 hours 7 days a week. From time to time ACW mix in some events with his brother.
