About Me

1970 ///// Aldo Iuliano alias Aldo Kapone, was born in the south of Italy.
1982 ///// His passion for music started when he received his first funky tape, a gift that proved to be a real musical revelation, familiarising him with artists such as Narada Michael Walden, Quincy Jones, Sisters Sledge, Brothers Johnson, to name but a few.
1987 ///// He acquired his first two turn tables, and started his way as a DJ in what today have become legendary clubs, such as Blue Night and the Dolce Vita, Lausanne. It was there that he became influenced by electronic music such as Africa Bambaataa, Kraftwerk and Jonzun Crew.
1990 ///// He was one of the founders of XBS, a rap group, and before long they were holding concerts in Switzerland and participating in various previews (Mc Solaar, IAM, Naughty by Nature, among others).
1993 ///// The group broke up and AL returned to his first vocation, that of a DJ and which he has never left since.

2000 ///// He gave a performance at the Grand Cafe during the Montreux Jazz festival and the following year, also during the same festival, at the Miles Davis Hall next to Everything but the Girl and Groove Armada. At the same time he found his roots again when accompanying Guru in a unique concert held in Switzerland by Jazzmatazz to Frisson in Fribourg.
