Artist Profile: Carlo Lio

Turning any apprehensive spectator into a self-assured groover, Carlo Lio is the DJ with the gift of creative communication. With his tunes able to connect to a wide variety of listeners without the need for speech, Lio continues to connect with his audience through the raw passion and emotion that he conveys through his mesmerising tech-House beats.

With a signature style that has people falling over themselves to hear one of his mind-blowing sets, Lio’s flawless mixing and creative beats are cementing him as a leader in Torronto’s club culture. With a hynoptic groove that infectiously draws in anyone who listens, Lio’s floor-filler favourite ‘Who’s House’, released in March of this year, was the finishing touch in securing a promising future for the talented disk jockey.

Also known as a producer and all-round businessman, Carlo Lio shows his skills don’t just stop at the decks. Partnering up with studio-monkey pal Nathan Barato, the twosome initiated the cutting-edge House label Rawthentic Music back in 2005, churning out numerous gritty, urban hits since that have gathered massive amounts of both local and international attention.

Set to grace Barrakud festival’s stage this August, Carlo’s set promises to satisfy cravings for techy beats and will undoubtedly steal the show as he leaves his audience hungry for more!
