Alfonz De La Mota-Locked&Loaded-Ceo Sur America Records/Digital Raised in the mid 80's he was exposed to electronic music and b-boy culture early on in his life growing up in the back of the yards and Mc Kinley park neighborhoods of Chicago Illinois. By his teens he was into hip-hop, graffiti and underground culture attending Loft and undergrounds. In 1993 he attended his first rave and a year later he began to DJ. Starting off as a jungle dj in Chicago was a hard thing since it is the house music capitol but he was dedicated to this renegade sound and stuck with it to this present day. Since 1994 Alfonz has played in just about every venue that would hear him, from the legendary raves in front on thousands of people to some of the most intimate undergrounds and clubs. He has played all across the Midwest from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio and as far as the east coast in Troy NY, Albany NY, New York Cities Konkrete Jungle and many times during the WMC in Miami FL. In 2002 he founded Sur America Records and released two 12" records SUR001 by Out Of Order and SUR002 by Danny the Wildchild and Locked & Loaded (alfonz de la mota & myke d). Currently on tour promoting his latest project "Sur America Digital" new DNB Mp3 label with releases set for 2006. "djing is like painting a picture, each turn of a nob, each mix is like a brush stroke adding a new element to the landscape"-DLM.
