The music of Carnao Beats is unmistakably a product of his London environment. The tracks he creates are a cut above thenorm: simultaneously bass-heavy and complex, commanding and melodic, with anaptitude for working with vocals that only the most talented of his contemporaries share.
His 2012 debut‘H.O.U.S.E’ came on Mark Radford’s revered Audio Rehab, establishing somewhat of a blueprint for a Carnao Beats record: tough, club-ready beats and percussion paired with a intricately interwoven melodies.
This would be the start of a fruitful relationship between label and artist that included the more recent ‘Chords Of Life’ and ‘Paint Out TheSun’. The follow up to his debut, ‘Know My Name’–produced in collaboration with AmineEdge & DANCE–was equally impressive, with both tracks now having clocked up hundreds of thousands of plays on YouTube and Soundcloud respectively, establishing Carnao as major new player ont he underground house scene.
Carnao’s next release, the sublime ‘GoneIn The Morning’ featuring Donae’o caught the attention of A-listers MK and Roger Sanchez. Both have been staunch supporter sever since, with Sanchez so enamored with Carnao’s music that the two teamed upon ‘Make Me Wonder’, a co-production dropping on Stealth. Further labels that have recognized his talents include King Street, CUFF Records and legendary NYC imprint Nurvous, who will release Carnao Beats v Gerry Gonza‘98’ later this year.
ADJ who cut his teeth in the days of vinyl, Carnao’s talents behind the decks are equal to his studio skills, with lauded shows at world-renowned venues along side the likes of Josh Butler, Route94, and Second City further adding to the hype surrounding him.
Carnao’s latest release is a reworking of Jean Jacques Smoothie’s house classic ‘2People’ on Sam Divine’s cult D-Vine Sounds label: a shining endorsement from without doubt one of London’s finest house DJs. Ina crowded marketplace, Carnao Beats has managed to not only make a name for himself, but exceed expectations with every release. As Carnao himself puts it, “as long as you have the right mindset you can express what you like, come up with new ideas and create a new path for yourself”. Long may he continue down that path.
