DJ Producer, Carlo Xavier AKA KOBRA-3000 is no newcomer when it comes to forward thinking sounds.
Carlo has been curating high energy sets exploring future modern sounds grounded in deep foundational
influences for almost two decades. His Portuguese/Macanese family heritage has nurtured Carlo’s
profound appreciation for Lusofonic music and complex rhythms, and his record digging trips across
Northern Brazil and Colombia have seen Carlo curate releases for cult record label Analog Africa, including
'Jambú, The Mythical Sound of The Amazon.' Jambú made its way onto Iggy Pop's BBC Radio 6 program in
2019, receiving acclaimed reviews in the New York Times the same year and selling out worldwide.
Following his curiosity for divergent sounds, Carlo is currently co producer and writer for upcoming
Melbourne based global dance music collective, Other Worlds Other Sounds. Curating underground dance
parties with diversity in mind and writing for Other World’s online publication, Carlo seeks to open doors to
connect local and international artists by means of online visibility and real world collaboration.
During his career as a DJ, Carlo has supported celebrated international artists such as Ray Lugo (US),
Frikstailers (MEX), Criolina (BR) and Mo Horizons (GER). Carlo is also a key member of the El Gran Mono
Picó Sound System, performing across with the picó at Womadelaide, Rising (Heavy Congress), Vivid, Spilt
Milk and the Sydney & Sao Paulo Biennale. Currently honing his skills as an Artistic Director and Engineer,
Carlo is completing his Bachelor Degree, Majoring in Audio under guidance of acclaimed producer's Kalju

Tonuma (Living End) and Christopher Dickie of Rak Studios London.
