CARTA (DJ)

Carta is arguably China’s most famous DJ, boasting releases on Heldeep, Revealed and Smash The House and a global audience addicted to his stadium-surfing EDM. Based in Shanghai, Carta has quickly climbed the Top 100 DJs poll, last year reaching No.61 — and he’s up again this year. Recently, he says, his focus “has shifted drastically to home/China rather than the international market”, precipitated not only by travel restrictions but by dance music becoming ever more popular across the country.
