Profile: Carlos Vargas has been involved with House Music since 2001. The passion grew up and led him to further explore his passion for the music and his early career was aided by his several musical influences like Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Chacka Khan, George Duke, George Benson, Lee Ritenour and many more, who definatly helped him to create his own style, that travels from Soul to Disco, crossing the roots of Funky and Jazz, always supported by 4/4 beats. His popular style of music includes a broad blend of styles, using different songs to create music that flows seamlessly through the night. In 2003, alongside with the guitarist Jair Deodato, Carlos Vargas decides to create the Deep & Soul Project , a Soulful House Band that crosses House music with musicians live on Stage, working currently with more than 40 musicians, from all background and genres, in a “Jam Session” concept that its getting massive support both domestically and abroad. Currently he travels all around the country, promoting himself on solo and with the Deep & Soul Project live in the best Portuguese Venues and in an Internacional Level in Countries like Spain, United Kingdom or Poland, having his name associated with brands like Redbull, Casino Figueira, Renault, Jameson, Maya Events, Extra, Touch Clubbing or SSRadio. Being one half of the Deep & Soul Project, with who very recently released the EP "This Light (we've seen)”, under the belt of the Italian Gotta Keep Faith Records, supported by Artists like Tedd Petterson, Lewis Ferrier, Dj Dealer, Davidson Ospina, Craig Stewart, Robert Rivera, Michael Fossatti or Niall Redmond, among others, Vargas is also very active on production, being working with the Deep & Soul on their second release “Keep On (keepin on)" with release scheduled for the beginning 2011, under the belt of the UK Label Solid Ground Recordings. Alongside this, Vargas is also very focused on his solo career, having his first Solo EP “Party People”, out on the USA Label Look At You Records and being supported by artists like Tony Humphries, Grant Nelson, Andy Ward, Cj Mackintosh, Michael Fossatti, Robert Owens, Luis Radio, Danny Clark, Anthony Angell (Stereo Sushi), Fabio Tosti, Guy Robin, Steve Parr (Faizemusic) among many others, and currently being on Studio working on “Summer Nights”, going out on the Brazillian Label Grooveland Music and "This Must Be Love", featuring US Stephanie Cooke on Vocals and going out on US Label Consortium Muzik. Also in the studio walls is another EP coming out on Solid Ground Recordings, that will feature US Vocalist Nicole Mitchell on Vocal duties. Although Vargas is currently much more focused on his original productions, he is having each time more requests for remix work, with his name inserted in releases from Labels like Look At You Records, Grooveland Music Brazil, Brainkat Music Australia, Daddyfunk, Solar, Mercado Paralelo, TM Music Italy or Muenchen, working with artists like Nicole Mitchell, Carolyn Victorian, Soulpreachers, Natasha Watts, Orlando Johnson, Rob Hayes, Dj Groove or Paul Sureno, among others. Vargas recently also started his own label “Downtown Trax”, with his long time friend Rob Hayes, with this being a project in wich he has very expectations and hopes of success for a near future, being the Label currently on construction mode. Although Vargas has been heard at numerous venues and events, he holds a Monthly Residency at the Club Duplex (Coimbra - PT) and Weekly Residencies at the Lounge & Restaurant Still Is (Coimbra - PT), and at the Soulful Bar Zeitgeist Caffe (Figueira da Foz -PT), being also responsable for dj bookings for this last one.
