Carlos Francisco

A pure passion for 4x4 was conceived from the first electronic sounds of the early 80's but it was the birth of the House marked by tracks by the likes of Fingers Inc. and Marshal Jefferson that was eventually responsible for a healthy 10,000+ vinyl collection, lots of partying and over 20 years in the electronic dance scene to date.

Carlos Francisco started his DJ’ing career in Spain in local bars and clubs close to Barcelona at holiday destination Costa Brava at the age of 18. The early nineties were spent learning the craft of turntablism skills so often lacking in today’s break-through ‘DJs’ during marathon nightly 10 hour sets.
In 1994, Carlos was taken on board by a London promoter and begun spinning at more well known clubs like Bagleys, The Cross, Turnmills, Pacha and eventually a 6 year residency for Rulin' at the Ministry of Sound.
