Carlos Fauvrelle is one of the biggest producers in Portuguese electronic music. Although he has started his career with techno music, it is when experimenting house music he finds his true calling and satisfaction, defining the future of his own career.

Carlos’ current approach to house music has gathered positive support and critics at a worldwide level. His debut solo track, “Talking”, released by Serial Rec has relied on the support given by artists like Danny Tenaglia, Roger Sanches and Superchumbo. Still solo, the producer/DJ releases “Operator” through Choo Choo. “Operator”’s success was so large, that the worlwide famous duo Deep Dish, couldn’t stop themselves from including in their own”Global Underground - TORONTO” compilation. Also worth mentioning is the theme that reached #4 in America’s Billboard “Break Out Chart”: “The Real World” by 4 Toasters.

4 Toasters are Carlos Fauvrelle, Frank Maurel, BBB and GMT, being a worldwide success, at the point of having the renowned Twisted label license the above track to several CDs of great artists like John Creamer & Stephan K, Superchumbo, Jaimy among others.

Produces a whole series of remixes like “In a Summer Time” (which receives DJ Vibe’s support, selecting the referred track to make part of his “Global Grooves” compilation), or Benny Benassi’s “Satisfaction” & “No Matter What You Do” under the 3 Monkeys on The Moon alias.

Allied with Frank Maurel, forms the “MAUREL & FAUVRELLE” partnership, which has been very productive, having been able to take the project’s fame to the international scene (with releases in labels like Subliminal/Sondos, Distraekt, Tao, Inversus, Skint/Loaded or Harlem Rec), and giving birth to their own label “LAJJA RECORDINGS”.

2006 has been a year full of releases of both originals and remixes through labels like Stereo, Subversive, Twisted, Armada, and his brand new label “Meridua”. Some of these tunes have been chosen to figure in complations such as Chus & Ceballos’, DJ Vibe’s, etc.

Outside the studio, Fauvrelle heads regular acts in the major Portuguese clubs, and in countries like Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Lithuania, United States, Turkey, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela and, most recently, the famous Pacha (NY) and Rise (Boston) clubs.
