Now into his second decade as a true innovator in the electronic music scene, Charles Webster is one of the few real mould-breakers in an increasingly stale & predictable dance music world.

In his long and varied career, he has recorded for a plethora of labels under many monikers (Presence, Furry Phreaks, Lo:rise, Version, Love From San Francisco, Megatonk) and is universally renowned as a Deep House legend. His productions and indeed his selections are always reliably brilliant, almost random, but in fact each selection is a carefully considered choice. He spends hours going through classic and contemporary music to sort out the musical abominations to find the few records that cause his the hairs under his hat to stand on end. This is his goal, to filter out the best.

Charles Webster is the producer’s producer, the DJ’s DJ. He has sold over 100,000 albums without ever being considered ‘mainstream’ or having a major hit single… He has toured the world with a full live band… He has also DJ’ed worldwide, playing regularly in every continent, without ever having had the need to be feted by the dance media as a flavour of the month… He’s had the nous to run his own label, he is comfortable making music at any tempo, straddles numerous genres with ease… Bloody hell, he even writes his own songs. Charles Webster, respect, as they say, is due. And we haven’t even mentioned his internationally syndicated radio shows; his remixes for the likes of Salif Keita, Martina Topley-Bird and Fish Go Deep; the number of quality compilations still falling over themselves to feature his work (old & new) …

Webster is working on a Jazz project at the moment as well as on a new solo album and has always been drifting between blissful Electronica and Future Pop, when not aiming at the dance floor. On top of it, his own label, Miso Records is approaching its eighth release. Recorded exclusively for RBMA Radio, this set features musician Peter Wraight, vocalist Emilie Chick and special guest Robert Owens as well as Charles on the laptop and keys.

People love Charles. DJs love him for making their jobs easier… Producers love him for the inspiration he provides… His loyal fanbase love him because they can trust him to deliver time & again. Twenty odd years in the game and Charles has the RESPECT of several generations of music lovers.
