Producer, Remixer, Singer/Songwriter, DJ…
It is a task that Detroit native Aaron-Carl has done consistently since 1996. As one of Detroit’s most in-demand producers & sought-after remixers, his signature sound crosses genres -- from soulful, gospel-infused House, to the dirtiest ghettotech anthems.
Aaron-Carl is hailed as a powerhouse in Detroit’s Electronic Music scene. With a discography to die for, he has remixed some of the Motor City’s biggest names – Underground Resistance, SCAN 7, AUX 88 & Kelli Hand; as well as international artists like Chicago House legend Dajae, Icelandic techno stars Gus Gus, and African jazz great Manu Dibango; to name a few.
As a vocalist, Aaron-Carl showcases a broad range. From the haunting chill of “Crucified” and “Sky,” to the seductive whispers of “Down” and “21 Positions,” to soul-stirring shouts of “Alright” and “My House;” AC prides himself in not just making records, but classics. His “let me tell you something about House music” acapella (appropriately titled “The Word”) is one of today’s most sampled House vocals, while “Down” is still a staple in the clubs – for more than a decade after its release.
AC also holds his own within the Hip Hop community -- particularly among the LGBT Hip Hop circles. Most notably producing hits for legendary rapper Johnny Dangerous, his remix of the infamous "Topsy Turvy" - in which he makes a cameo appearance -- is featured in the documentary, "Pick Up the Mic."
Aaron-Carl hosts a weekly Internet Radio Show, "The WARMTH Sessions," Fridays from 7pm - 9pm EST. Listen at www.warmth313.com.
