Настоящее имя: DJ Trajic
Об исполнителе:
Chicago-based pioneer of 1990s hard house. He's considered a pioneer and legend of the 90's Hard House movement. His long list of records, remixes and international appearances credits him as one of the most popular and accomplished DJ/Producers of his time. In 1985, Carlos “Kool Kutt” Gomez began his musical journey no different than most bedroom DJs hoping to someday leave a mark in the industry. With cheap turntables and a Radio Shack (Realistic) mixer, he began to blend beats, scratches, and later incorporated sampling and editing techniques. In 1989, a friend persuaded Carlos to participate in a DJ battle which he won... giving him his first club residency. In the early 90's his career was on pause and couldn't gain momentum. Unable to play the dance music politics, he switched genres and teamed up with Chicago Rap group O.C.U. (Organized Crime Unit) Due to the group's gangster style hip hop genre, the members changed his stage name from “Kool Kutt” to DJ Tragic. While working with O.C.U. he met his mentor and super producer Peter Black. Soon after, Carlos assisted Peter on several albums including O.C.U's “Stronger Than The Mafia” on K Tel Records, and Krashman's album “Black Circle” on ISLAND Records. Soon after, Carlos veered away from the hip hop scene and continued his interest in dance music. But first, he revised his stage name by replacing the “G” with a “J” and “DJ TRAJIC” was born. In late 1993, he met Underground Construction (UC) president Andy Adams and in 1994 UC agreed to release both “Soul Patrol” and “Orgy Trax” simultaneously... unfortunately no producer credit was given for Orgy Tracks due to lessons since learned in the industry. Soon after the release of Soul Patrol, TRAJIC gave birth to his mega hit “Show Me Your Face”. It was then that his International status began. UC established licensing agreements with record labels in Brazil, Mexico and Europe. This gained TRAJIC's momentum to soon be UCs first touring Dj/Producer. With follow up releases “Latinos In The House”, L.A.W's “Remember The Times”, Anastasia's “All Men R Dogs”, Sex Krazed Superstars “Feeling Horny” and “Pants R Saggin”, TRAJIC continued to release back to back records just to keep up with demand, while other labels waited in line with attempts to solicit a “Chronic Remix“. TRAJIC went on to produce well over 100+ records and remixes for major label artists. His influence is reflected with many top rated DJ/Producers of today and his tracks can always be heard through licensed mix compilations and social media "tribute mixes" by DJ fans worldwide. In 2006, TRAJIC launched his own label in partnership with various digital download distributors. Nemek Music Group (Nemek) has since re-released much of TRAJIC's catalog plus releases from many other talented producers. Today, DJ TRAJIC continues to work behind the scenes and mentors many young up and coming artists and producers. Selected remixes from his discography are also scheduled.
