DJ Carlos became a DJ, following in his father and uncle’s footsteps. He visited one of their parties as a 5 year old kid and knew he wanted to be a DJ after seeing all the happy faces on the audience. He started doing all kinds of DJ jobs growing up and in 1992, Joel from "A Rave Called Sharon", found him at a Latin club where he was working and invited him to play at their next party. Since that day DJ Carlos played at every weekend rave in San Francisco. In 1993, DJ Carlos became a Resident at "Recycle" on Wednesdays and "Universal Groove" on Thursdays, while still playing Saturday raves and Sunday "Spundays".
