About Me

Cj Tari
Dialtone Records / Stranamente / Miniatura / MCast / El Paso TX
Carlos Prospero, better known as Cj Tari, was born in the west coast state of California, but only lived there a couple of months till his parents decided to move back to the border between Mexico and the USA, there he was influenced musically at a very young age, since his grandfather used to be a musician. At the young age of 8 cj started playing around with music, pretending to be a radio station dj, and recording mixed tapes of varios types of music. By the age of 14, Cj met a new friend, Dj Moon, who played at various local clubs in town, who also gave CJ his first dj lessons. From there he started to learn how to mix, with a couple of old technics turntables, a pair of cassette decks and an old "realistic 4 channel disco mixer", Cj became more and more interested in playing records, building his own music collection, influenced at the time by great producers like Jeff Mills, Mark Farina, Gene Farris, Danni Krivit, Hector Morales, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Frankie Knuckles, and others.
By the age of 18, he started getting involved in the house scene more and more becoming an active member either playing gigs or being part of them, adding almost 7 years of experience of promoting some of the towns best parties, Cj quickly became one of towns most respected and well established promoters. At this time Cj started to push his career as a dj having the oportunity of playing various parts of US & Mexico; also he's had the fortune of playing along side various top dj's such as Dj Mes, Jonene, Jay West, Nicholas Benisson, Armin Van Buuren, H-Foundation, Mazi, Little Mike, Palash(Saeed & Palash), Doc Martin, Dj Heather, Donald Glaude, John Tejada, Someone Else, [a]pendics.shuffle, Barem, Spettro, Randall Jones, Mac C(The Low End Specialists), Jeno, Daniel Mnookin, Brian Ffar, Kyle Szmurlo, JV, Maya Amack and Hernan Cattaneo.

Influences: Everything from Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Dj Pier, Frankie Knuckles, Dani Krivit, Eddie Amador, Mark Farina and basically everything that sounds like house!

I started off playing deep house since i was 15 or 16 and from there on ive been addicted to everything that has a house beat to it. Also ive been very attached to techno music since i started listening to guys like Marco Carola, Marco Bailey, Chrisitan Varela, Richie Hawtin(back in the day), Carl Cox, Dan Bell, Ricardo Villalobos, Markus Nikolai, Pantytec and others, from there ive been very influenced by the techno sounds and some of its sub genres, like minimal techno, in wich ive been interested for the last couple of years.

Right now the most influential dj's/producers for my have to be: John Tejada, Alex Under, [a]pendics Shuffle, Jeremy p. Caulfield, Oliver & RubÃ©n Henares(Swat Squad), IÃ±aki Marin, Paul Keeley, Jean-Patrice Remillard(Pheek), Jay Haze and others.
Sounds Like: Im gonna quote a very good friend of mine that listened to one of my mixes and said to me:

"This is a very good mix bro, it really sounds like a bunch of monkeys hitting cans and boxes"

hehe so thats minimal clicky, bleepy, techy stuff for you.
