CARLOS, DON - Livin A Dream (Limited Coloured Ed.) (Sealed) (2LP)

DJ Don Carlos (born Carlo Troja, from Varese-Italy) with his productions in the 90s has become one of the cult producers for DJs around the world. His track Alone released in 1991 for Calypso (under the Irma Records label) was and still is one of the classics of House Music, played by all the major American and British DJs. At the time of its publication it was considered an underground song and therefore did not sell very much, but over the years its myth has grown thanks to its subsequent productions as for example his second single, the EP entitled Mediterraneo, title which it will then inspired his first CD album printed in the USA with the same title. Several other singles followed, another album, always printed only in the USA, entitled Aqua, from which a triple promo vinyl was extracted which today is one of the artist's most requested rarities. In Italy his third album was released in 2002 entitled The Music In My Mind where Kim Mazelle, Michelle Weeks, Taka Boom and Kevin Bryant were present as vocal guests. In 2009 a collection of the first two albums released in the USA titled Mediterraneo-Club Favourite Collection '90-98 and in 2010 his fourth album entitled The Cool Deep which reproduced the sounds closest to his first productions. Also active as a remixer for Italian and international labels, one of his most important works is the remix of Byron Stingily of the song You Make Me Feel of which he made a worldwide hit. As a producer he also used other pseudonyms such as Montego Bay, Aquanuts, Sotterranea and Love 2 Love Orchestra. He has played and plays in different countries such as London, New York, Miami and at various festivals, such as the Robot and the Stickermule Festival in an evening with Apparat, Derrick May, DJ Koze, Lil 'Louis, Young Marco and Ellen Allien, LTJ Xperience .His peculiarity has always been the musicality of his productions, thanks to the various musicians who accompanied him in the studio, which created a sound that defined in the 90s some of the House's subgenres such as Paradise House and the Ambient House. And this is the kind of sound that compose this new release of Don Carlos entitled Livin a Dream (the name of his Radio Show). It is a collection of unreleased tracks or alternative versions of tracks all produced in the 90s, collected on a double vinyl of 12 tracks and a double CD of 22. The productions made by the artist in those years were numerous and therefore a selection work was done in his archive to find the best of his sound that has remained unpublished to date!
