Beat scholar, party scientist, ragga maniac, and remixer of singers from M.I.A. to Gregory
Isaacs, DJ C continues to spread his
fiercely eclectic gospel of crunkment, mashstep, ragga-bounce, and grime-hall
across the land. He's been pumping out a series of records on U.S., U.K.,
and Japanese labels including a remix of M.I.A.'s U.R.A.Q.T. for
her Galang
05 single on XL
Recordings, as well as singles for Shockout, Community
Library, and his own Mashit imprint.
The tunes have been killing club sound-systems and airwaves worldwide.
In fact, legendary BBC Radio 1 host John Peel chose Mashit as a "label
of the month" and featured a DJ
C mix of Mashit tracks.
Most recently he's been collaborating with bad-man-ragga-vocalist Zulu on
a series vinyl releases. Their track Darling will be released shortly
on 12-inch with a remix by Montreal bounce maestro Ghislain
Poirier. DJ C's has also done a remix for Poirier's track "Blazin'" which
was released on a Ninja Tune 12-inch.
In addition to all the singles, his full-length album Sonic
Weapons was released this past summer on the Japanese Wimm
Recordings label, along-side a Sonic
Weapons 12-inch EP released on Bristol U.K.'s Death$ucker label.
These followed his Traced
Milk EP released last year.
There's more DJ C material in the pipeline; for Berlin-based Man
Recordings' "Funk Mundial" series, and the upcoming London-based Heatwave 12-inch
series to name a couple. DJ C is also well known for his online DJ
mixes. A recent mix for the Blentcast series
was downloaded fourty-thousand times in its first 3 months online. When he's
not busy recording, he DJs and performs live for crowds the world over. Look
out for a DJ C appearance near you, as a perpetual string of North American and
European tour dates continue... |
