"I am trying to make people
more aware of the power of music, especially the kind that makes
you move. Maybe some can take that experience on the dancefloor to
see that we can work together as a race, if we just drop our
differing ideas for a moment to see what is really there. Music is
one of the best ways to do this to the human mind." ~ Selekta
Chang
Carlitos Corcho's (Chang) roots
lie in his Cuban family, being exposed at an early age to his
parents collection of disco, soul, rock, salsa, and funk records.
His first musical instrument was the drums where he performed
percussion in a symphonic classical band while in Jr. High. This
eventually led to his interest in djing while one day watching “The
Buffalo Gals” music video on MTV. It was the scratching sound he
heard that lead to his curiosity on what it meant to mix records.
Around that time in Miami his cousin was a disco dj, and it was his
music that motivated him to pursue djing.
What Chang is best known for
though is his residency at Simons! There he played with djs like
Laurent Garnier, Felix Da Housecat, Deep Dish, Green Velvet, Richie
Hawtin, John Aquaviva, Mark Farina, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia,
DJ Pierre, Dubtribe, Doc Martin..
