His mixing style is seamless and incredibly creative. He tunes into clubgoers needs and desires, and he gives them the experience they’ve been yearning for. His beats are fast and deep on his house tracks, but he can slow it down just as well and get soulful. He does minimalist as well as groove.

He’s been dominating the Toronto club scene for a few years now, and it’s no wonder why. His business acumen is tight, and his focus is phenomenal. Carlo Lio has no desire in the world greater than to move clubgoers, to fulfill their desire to dance, and to keep the party going all night long.
