Luis Gabriel Aguilera (born in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico) is a Mexican-American author, writer, composer, electronic music producer, DJ, music promoter, language teacher, and social justice activist.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
At age 14, Aguilera was a founding member of the Ultimate Party Crew, a Chicago Southwest Side male teen youth club that was one among numerous teen youth clubs prevalent in the late 1980s and 1990s in Chicago and other urban settings such as New York and Los Angeles.[7][8][9] The group disbanded in 1991 due to rising urban street violence, gang encroachment, and the group's awareness that the organization had grown too large to maintain earlier levels of familial interaction. Aguilera chronicled this and other sociocultural aspects of his teen years in Chicago in a memoir, Gabriel's Fire, published by The University of Chicago Press in April 2000.[10][11][12][13]
Aguilera is also founder and director of Full Spectrum, a multifaceted initiative that took root on the campus of The University of Chicago where Aguilera, in conjunction with a student organization and campus radio station WHPK, produced, promoted, and presented several electronic dance music events from 1997 to 1998 known as Positive Thursdays in which Aguilera would DJ for said events as well.[14][15][16] Aguilera resides in Chicago, producing and promoting music under his Full Spectrum label and other electronic dance music labels.[5][17][18][19]
