9.6.08 DJ CARLOS SANCHEZ & STING INTL DANCE PARTY September 6, 2008

Carlos Sanchez is a Brooklyn native whose early studies in music began in church at the age of six leading him to The High School of Music & Art, and then took him on tour with a popular gospel group while still in his teens. On that solid base of musical training, he's built a successful career as a respected DJ/Producer/Songwriter/Vocalist and college professor among many other things.

From his first clubbing experiences in the early seventies until now, Carlos has found inspiration in the classics like Stevie Wonder as well as eclectic jazz sounds, the likes of Lonnie Liston Smith, Gil Scott Heron, George Duke, Herbie Hancock and Donald Byrd. "My first DJ influences came from the Brooklyn mobile DJs (like Grand Master Flowers or DJ Maboya), and other club spinners including Tee Scott, Nicky Siano & Walter Gibbons. Energy he has interpreted into his own diverse musical style that has earned him noteworthy residencies from his debut at Leviticus, NYC to his current popular monthly parties at the legendary Starlite Lounge and Langston in Brooklyn. A respected retail veteran whose ear is equally legendary, Carlos is a versatile crowd-pleaser who is known for being capable of spinning in many different rooms and for any age group.

When not spinning in the club, you can catch Carlos in the studio where his keyboard and vocal arrangement skills are often employed by top artists, producers and on his own behalf, the Carlos Sanchez Movement. Currently released is The Carlos Sanchez Movement III on (SLAAG RECORDS). A breezy and inspirational listen to a well-constructed dance vocal, "Spirit of the Dance", feat. Lorenzo Tyler, is destined to become another genre classic. Other future projects include another classic song entitled "One Sensational Flow" feat. the incomperable songwriter/producer/vocalist Gordon Chambers. You'll also find Carlos collaborating with other producers this year such as Quentin Harris and Sting International
