          No genré is off limits if the music is magic.

          DJ C has dropped bass at house parties in Chicago, night clubs in Prague, underground raves in London, and mountain-top festivals in Japan, often sharing the bill with legends like Lupe Fiasco, Four Tet, or DJ /rupture (with whom he founded the Toneburst Collective).

           

          His discography features over 50 records on labels including XL Recordings, Ninja Tune, and Soul Jazz; sharing production credits with the likes of Smokey Robinson, Gregory Isaacs, M.I.A., Quincy Jones, and Diplo. DJ C's own Mashit label has produced more than 20 records since the early days when legendary BBC Radio 1 host John Peel featured it as a “Label of the Month.”

          “Do Radly [is] a genre-hopping club album for the home; a late-lockdown album for dancing.”
