Carlos el "dj chang" known to many in Florida back in the late 80's to late 90's, was the resident at the famous Gainesville afterhour club called Simons! It was here that he had the oppurtunity to open for such fabulous djs/artists like Laurent Garnier, Felix Da Housecat, Deep Dish, Doc Martin, Ralph Lawson, Farley & Heller, Dubtribe, Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin, John Aquaviva, Mark Farina, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Dj Pierre, Garth, King Britt, Josh Wink just to name a few..
Chang has also played at the Sundance Film Festival, where he was the dj for New Line Cinema’s official "Hedwig & The Angry Inch" party in 2001; and Miramax’s official "Human Traffic" with djs King Britt, Richie Hawtin, and Bob Skies in 2000. Plus he also spun at the Digi-Dance Film After Party in 2001.
You also may remember him from his adventures in San Francisco where he had a tv show on public access called "House Nation." Here is where many music videos & interviews were featured from artists like Kaskade, Wicked Crew, Devotion, Julie Mcknight, David Harness, Hesohi.. Because of this Chang was also offered a position in promotions at Devotion, where he also opened for dj Ruben Mancias' Devotion Sundays at The End Up. It was here in the city of Love that Chang released his record "Island Dreams," with Amit Shoham (Tarantic Records) on Care Recordings.
As time would tell he ended up on the other side of the world, Bahrain to be exact! What started off as a gig ended up in a 4 year stay producing & playing events for dj Mazen (Analogue Soul), Warren Stalls, Formula One for The Mclaren Family Private Bday Party (Mercedes Benz Automotive Manufacturer owners), dj Damien, Salah, and Likwid. Located central to the world, Chang found himself making guest dj appearances on Vienna, Austria's FM4 radio; in Zvolen, Slovakia's Download Open Air; a private beach party in Beirut, Lebanon; at the Piekarnia Club in Warsaw, Poland; at the SQ Club in Poznan, Poland, to the famous Cocoon Club in Frankfurt, Germany.
On his return to the States in 2007 he helped produce some dvj music video projects with Lifervisions in St Pete, Fl. for artists like Bob Skies, Freaky Chakra, Grumptronix, and Kabuto & Koji. Out of this he began to incorporate music videos also into his sets through the use of the pioneer dvj 1000s.
Currently he is the resident dvj/founder/promoter for CLIQUE at The Kennedy (Tampa, Fl.) , and the Saturday resident at Cheap Boutique Restaurant & Bar (Tampa, Fl.).
