Don Carlos - The Cool Deep

Carlo Troja aka Don Carlos hails from Varese, in the North of Italy, and is active as a DJ from the late 70′s. He debuted as a producer towards the end of the 80′s with the single ‘Alone’ on Calypso Records (Irma), which became one of the cult tracks of the international Deep House scene. His productions have always mixed House rhythms with afro-american jazz sounds, verging sometime towards disco, sometime towards progressive house or electronic soul. In 1992 IRMA USA released his first album ‘Mediterraneo’, followed in 1993 by the Montego Bay project, produced together with Stefano Tirone (S-Tone Inc.), also on IRMA. He then released some singles on the Chicago based label Guidance under the Aquanauts moniker. He also reached the UK charts with the hit ‘You Make Me Feel’, sung by Byron Stingley, cover of the cult song by Sylvester. In 2000 he released a single on Erik Morillo’s Subliminal Soul label and played highly acclaimed gigs at Ministry of Sound and Turnmills in London. In 20 Style: Electronica
