          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.
