Biography:

Co-owner of San Francisco’s noted dance music concern Loveslap Recordings, he oversees vinyl and cd production, maintains a diverse and growing stable of artists, cuts the checks and keeps the peace.

Charles writes, plays, produces, engineers, and mixes innovative, cutting-edge house music, on his own and in collaboration with Mauricio Aviles as Movido, with Marc Alan Gray as Spencer Gray, and with Nick Santillan as Behind The Groove, and many others. Recently, he produced exclusive house mixes for R&B chanteuse Goapele's radio hit "Closer," released on Loveslap.

A diagnosed music freakss, Charles has been playing and studying piano since age 7. He remembers listening (repeatedly) to New Order, Oscar Peterson, Chick Corea, and Rachmaninov, as a kid in the 80’s.

He's currently at work completing several solo projects in addition to two full length LP's including a down tempo LP with Gregory del Piero. And he threatens to keep pushing outward on the boundaries of House: "Lately I've been messing with jazzier structures and general weirdness, always keeping both eyes on the dancefloor."

Charles still likes to see people dance: He's been to New York, Chicago, Mexico, London and Texas plying his DJ skills and hosts the Loveslap monthly at Pink in San Francisco. Just keeping busy.
