          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.

          The first 2 singles from DJ C's “Do Radly”album which drops into the online listening outlets on May 28 2021, “I Didn't”& “Circe” are here to help prepare speakers and earbuds for what's to come.

          MORE ON “CIRCE”

          The album bounces between frenetic sonic experimentation & serene comfort music. These tracks sit right in that tension where DJ C derives inspiration for his experimental party music.
