Allen Wright, aka dj al groove started learning how to dj at age 14 in spring of 1986, imitating the djs on the wbmx hot mix five and in the clubs/house parties. After lots of practicing and honing his chops, went on to dj at various clubs,raves,and house parties throughout chicago and grand rapids michigan for over twenty years. He started producing at age 16, going to the library to read books about music production, sound engineering, playing around with friends drum machines and made some tracks here and there. They were just experimental, and some of the tracks were recorded to cassette tapes and reel to reels which provided the future producer/remixer with the knowledge and skills on how to make music. Fast forward to age 26 in 1998 allen wright hooked up with friend/label partner greg rapier to record his first record, "The Deep Rooted E.P.", which featured two hot tracks on side a from greg rapier and  two hot tracks on side b from allen wright. The album was never released due to financial problems, but the duo plans to release the album on their own label speakerheat records. 

As of now, allen wright djs and runs two record labels withh friend/business partner greg rapier, speakerheat records for the house music, and heattech records for the techno music. He also has been working with longtime friend  jamal moss aka hieroglyphic being releasing tracks on jamal moss and steve poindexter's labels muzique records and chicago underground. On chicago underground allen wright partnered up with longtime friend dj jocko to produce the track "the vibe", a spacey, jazzy sounding house track. On muzique records allen released the track "pictures and paragraphs", a bassline,synth filled tech house track on the compilation album "the house of muzique vol. 1" in 2005. Later in 2006 he released the track "system free", an old school, gherkin jerks sounding track he produced in 1989  on the compilation album " the house of muzique vol. 2".  Due out in march 2007 is allen wright's debut album "primitive worlds" on muzique records which feature three killer tracks with that old school acid/jacking sound and feel like back in the days of house musics infancy.
