DJ Astro started mixing in August 1992 as his love of house music grew while eating fish tacos in "The OC" listening to the PowerTools mixshow on Power 106FM. From an early age he was influenced by 80's disco and other types of dance music.
Falling in love with house music in the mid 90's, his taste for music began to take shape with influential producers and DJs like: Masters at Work, Blaze, Richard Humpty Vission, Tony Largo, DJ Gregory, David Alvarado, Armand Van Helden and L.A. Underground Jungle DJ , R.A.W.
In the late 90s as a student at UCLA, he was a pioneering music director of the urban format for the KLA Radio Station 91.9 FM. DJ Astro made sure that dance music (in whatever style) was properly represented at KLA, spreading his love of house during his show "Selectors Lounge", and explored the drum & bass genre on "Planet of the Drums."
Until recently DJ Astro resided in Washington DC, where he held a Thursday night residency at the 18th Pointe in Adams Morgan, where he played various types of world music. While in DC he began an independent Latin Alternative label called Rockero3000, and toured with bands, DJing for crowds in New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Tijuana and El Salvador.
DJ Astro currently holds a Friday night residency at the Air Conditioned Lounge in Santa Monica.
