Biografía
- Half of LawnChair Generals. Co-captain of Hunt & Gather Records in SeattleDoza a.k.a. Carlos Mendoza (of LawnChair Generals) is very aware of the effect the gloomy Seattle climate has on his music. It's even a point of pride. The weather can drive the city’s music makers indoors and underground, where they cooperate on technique, equipment and events; music makers like Pezzner, Lusine, Hanssen, Raica, Mat Anderson. The camaraderie influences the music, as does the low light. If you're any fan of deep house you've likely heard Doza’s music. Carlos has been contributing to the global house music underground since 2001 as one half of LawnChair Generals, one of the most respected early 00’s house music duos in the U.S. Doza’s solo sound could be considered deeper, darker, more textured than the early works of LawnChair Generals. The first Doza remix of Hanna's "Time" on Viva Recordings in 2002, with its dubbed-out pads and hypnotic rhythms, foreshadowed his future body of work. His Get Physical debut “Ixchel”, “The Doza E.P.” on Doc Martin’s Sublevel imprint, and the sweeping "In Waves E.P." on Supremus Records exemplify Doza’s recurring theme: simple and articulate rhythms carrying strong and evolving narratives that draw the audience in. In 2015 Doza partnered with Pezzner and Michael Manahan on Hunt & Gather Records to deliver forward-thinking music to the world’s discerning dancefloors. The latest fruits of this union are Doza's disco-tech stormer "The Nautilus" followed by chord-bliss "Andy, Wally & Ray", released to enthusiastic support from international artists Âme, John Digweed, Dixon, LTJ Bukem, M.A.N.D.Y., Danny Tenaglia, Seth Troxler, and more.̸Originals: Doza - "Andy, Wally & Ray" - Hunt & Gather Records Doza - "The Nautilus" - Hunt & Gather Records Doza - In Waves E.P. - Supremus Doza - Ixchel - Get Physical Music Sublevel Sampler 005 - Doza (E.P.) - Sublevel Records Remixes: Paul 2 Paul - A Human Being (Doza Remix) - Supremus Hanssen - Real Age (Doza Remix) - Hush Hush Records Hanna - Time (Doza's LCG Mix) Alexander East - Believe En Me (Doza's LCG West Mix) Fred Everything feat.
