DJ Cartier, originating from Windsor, began his career in UK Garage music in 1997 at the age of 12. His early start in the genre provided a foundation for his subsequent rise within the scene. Over nearly two decades, he has become a leading force, performing weekly at clubs across the UK and internationally. His sets are recognized for their blend of classic garage sounds with newer bass house influences. This approach has allowed him to appeal to a broad audience while maintaining an authentic connection to the genre’s roots.
In 2008, DJ Cartier secured a residency with Garage Nation, an affiliation that continues to reinforce his standing in the garage community. His reputation for well-informed sets and a diverse selection of styles within the genre led to a Boiler Room performance, which significantly increased his visibility in the Bass house and Upfront UKG scenes. Cartier also utilized his Rinse FM radio show, broadcast every Saturday at 2pm, to define current trends and showcase new underground music. This platform, coupled with his “Bars With Carts” project launched in 2013—a mixtape series highlighting UKG MCs—expanded his following and influence.
His career saw further progression in 2014 when he signed with Ministry of Sound, joining their Essential Garage Team as a recognized expert in the genre. In 2017, Ministry of Sound again enlisted him to mix their compilation album, ‘Garage XXV,’ celebrating 25 years of UK Garage music. As a lone entity once more, DJ Cartier continues to focus on underground sounds and the future evolution of garage music, performing at major UK festivals and securing international bookings, consistently drawing new fans and industry recognition.
