>From his formative years as a West Coast B-Boy, to his current status as
international DJ/producer, Vancouver native DJ Ali is without a doubt one of
the most gifted artists to grace the decks or console in the history of
underground music.

Behind the decks, Ali's Chicago-influenced mixes of hard beats and dirty
basslines have earned him a loyal following and solid reputation up and down
the West Coast house music scene. He currently holds prestigious residencies
at three of Vancouver's hottest clubs: Sonar, the Caprice, and Element,
while a hectic tour schedule finds him racking up the frequent flyer miles
with stints in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Ireland, Toronto, Seattle and San
Francisco.

Ali's first foray into music culture was as a young B-Boy breaker. After
picking up his first vinyl record at the age of eight years old, young Ali
Menjhi was hooked! His evolution as a DJ began in 1993, just as the
Vancouver scene was beginning to take shape. They grew together, side by
side, with Ali developing his signature, danceable style - and a very loyal
following of fans - through numerous residencies at local clubs and after
hours, including Blueprint and Largo, as well as the legendary underground
Rehab parties of the mid 1990s. In fact, Ali references the Rehab events, as
well as the Summer Love party of 1996 as memorable and defining gigs. He
considers himself lucky to have had these early opportunities to play
records alongside some of his early influences such as Chez Damier, Derrick
Carter, DJ Heather, and Mark Farina - to name a few.

Ali began producing his own brand of booty-shaking tracks in 1998, and
today, he's as renowned for his studio work as he is for his DJ skills,
recognized for both his remixes and original productions. His records are
favourites of such luminaries as Derrick Carter, Johnny Fiasco, and Chez
Damier, and with this exposure, over the past few years the demand for his
productions has been wildly growing. Recent hits include "U Don't Know"
(Village) and "The Release" (Manali Records), both of which feature super
vocalist Tim Fuller. Stay tuned for a slew of bangers on the way, including
the highly anticipated "Show Me," also with Fuller, forthcoming on one of
today's freshest " dance music " labels around, Manali Records.

Ali's list of influences is as varied - and as extensive - as his record
collection. Inspirations include Derrick Carter, Chez Damier, Mark Farina,
Vernell deLong, Johnny Fiasco, Tomas Osaze and Sean Dimitrie, Prince,
Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Mo Dee, EPMD,
Black Moon, Erik B & Rakim, and L.O.N.S. But when the lights come up, it is
Ali's faith and his dedicated parents that audiences should thank as the
primary reasons for his making music today. As the ever growing following
and admiration for Dj Ali's work attests, we have lots to be thankfull for
indeed.
