bio

No genré is off limits for DJ C as long as the music is magic.
He’s toured the globe performing at house parties and night clubs, weddings and holiday parties, underground raves and festivals, alongside artists like Lupe Fiasco, Four Tet, Rhymefest, Squarepusher, and DJ /rupture (with whom he founded the Toneburst Collective).

As a recording artist, DJ C has released a discography including more than 50 records on labels like XL Recordings, Ninja Tune, and Soul Jazz, sharing production credits with the likes of Diplo, Quincy Jones, Smokey Robinson, M.I.A., and Gregory Isaacs. His own Mashit label has produced more than 20 releases and was featured as a “Label of the Month” by legendary BBC Radio 1 host John Peel.

Bouncing between frenetic sonic experimentation and serene comfort music, the genré-blends on “Do Radly” clearly illustrate DJ C's brand of experimental party music.
“On ‘Do Radly,’ a “New batch of bespoke beats equally fit for the club, the kitchen, or the virtual dance party,” DJ C strips things to the root and brings his longstanding genre-spanning into new focus.”
