Carlito Headset (BrokenBeat/ DTC / Imputor?) Live Electronic

Its a little known fact that Carlito aka El Poeta recently came within inches of
death. While on a recon mission for DTC, he became lost and fell into
an icy chasm deep in the arctic, for almost an entire year. Lucky
for us, rising global temperatures and a tenacity unparalleled by even
that of the most determined sherpa - he was able to thaw a small
porthole in the otherwise icy grave with pure dancefloor heat - only
to make it home for his brokenbeat set. Don't miss out on this one!

Melotronix signature style blends trip-hop, downtempo, hip-hop, breaks, and just about any glitchy grimy groovy beat she can get her hands on. Her sets consist of a fusion of dope underground tracks mixed with her own original creations using KP3 sampler, a laptop and a microphone. She sings over her sets to add an ethereal vibe. You can catch her internet radio show every Sunday (5-7pm PST) on HipStepRadio.com.
Her journey thru music began while living below Kid Koala in 1998 and has progressed from Montreal to New York City to her most recent home of Phoenix AZ where she currently runs several nights and has performed at almost every venue. In 2008 she plans to start her own record label and release her first e.p.
