DJ SOUL SLINGER
https://www.facebook.com/SOULSLINGER/
THE ORIGINAL BRAZILIAN DJ
THAT HELPED SHAPE THE STORY OF SO CALLED
ELETRONICA IN THE U.S.A AND WORLWIDE
FROM NEW YORK CITY....

While many modern-day American drum and bass DJs fight for the title of "don", the true American Emperor of Drum and bass is still standing! Frequently referred to as the Russel Simons of the electronic music scene, Soul Slinger the true American electronic music mogul. For years he has been a monumental figure of the past and present state of Electronic Music Culture.

Born and raised in Sao Paulo Brazil, Carlos Soul Slinger began his career in the early 1980's. After many years, looking for new direction, Soul Slinger decided to make the move to New York city. In 1989, Slinger opened along Rey , what was to be one of the most important icons of the American rave culture – the store known as Liquid Sky. Liquid Sky is the original "rave emporium" in the United States. Providing clothing, cosmetics, novelties, mix tapes and vinyl. The trend soon followed across the United States with many other fundamental shops such as Satellite Records, Break Beat Science, Dr Free Clouds Mixing Lab, Pure Acid, and many others.

DJ Soul Slinger quickly followed up the success of the store with a record label - Liquid Sky Music / Jungle Sky Records. Liquid Sky Music has been responsible for some of the most forward-thinking music to emerge from the New York City underground over the decades. In 1994, he released the Jungle Liquid Sky / Ethiopia 12", being the first release on Jungle Sky Records, and at that, the first American drum and bass production on vinyl. Since then, he has released countless singles, and albums collaborating with everyone from Afrika Bambaataa, Ali Khan, Elliot Sharp, Bill Laswell, Bernie Worell (Funkadelic), Grand Master DST, Derek Bailey, William Burroughs, Ziggy Marley, Dee Lite, Arto Lindsay, Buckethead, DJ Disk, DJ Spooky, Air Liquide, Otto with Bebel Gilberto, Chico Science and Nacao Zumbi, Funk como le gusta, BID ,Cyro Batista,,Suba, Mestre Ambrosio, Soul Coughing, Ben Neil, Neils Peter Molvar, T POWER, Terry Lynn Corrington ,Martin Koller, MC DET, Jamalski, The Swirlies, MINISTRY and others.

DJ Soul Slinger was the first so-called American drum and bass producer and DJ who was recognized by the UK Jungle community. In His first interaction overseas in the early 1990s at S.O.U.R-London pioneer jungle SOUR CREAM compilation CD, then he remixed Abducted (94),which became a classic with its remarkable bass line, and Ethiopia. He performed at Woodstock 94 at Saugerties (Ravestock) and then next day, was at the original Woodstock 1969 site, the only DJ to perform!

After many years of touring every major destination of the uncharted dnb/rave world, Mr. Slinger in August 2000 create and help produce along GREENPEACE guidelines a 4 day mega music human rights and ecology festival called ECOSYSTEM – a forward-thinking mega-event with the sole purpose of providing attention to rainforest preservation in Brasil. It is the first non-profit electronic music festival environmentally sound to take place in the Amazon Rainforest and one of the largest events in the world. The Ecosystem project managed to bring together representatives from the government, NGOs and artists in aid of a common goal. It shows that the event embraces different sectors of society and that it is a real public interest event as well as it's fun and cultural side, it has both content and official endorsement. Through Soul Slinger's long-standing history as a pioneer in the electronic music scene, he was able to enlist the help of top notch DJs and producers around the globe, dedicated to creating awareness for this unique event, the ecological concerns that currently exist in the Amazon Rainforest and ultimately raise consciousness for every living as an ecosystem, 45,000 attend and was a huge success that change perceptions all over Brasil.
