DJ Carlos D

Carlos D, the beloved bassist for Interpol, hardly needs to pursue a career as a DJ. He could easily pursue the typical bass-player lifestyle: Get smashed onstage because everyone’s watching the singer, fondle someone backstage, vomit behind a dumpster, pass out in the bus. But little Carlos can’t seem to stop — or sleep. And, by all accounts, he gives no rest to those who attend his famous afterparties in New York City clubs, where Mr. D. keeps the floor packed sometimes until 10 a.m. What makes this ashen-faced lad so successful as a DJ, we think, is his apparent “take it and like it” attitude, clear not only in his confidence at the turntables but also in his gothic speakeasy attire — complete with leather shoulder holster — and especially in the almost immediate silencing of blogger allegations that the famous bassist had passed around a bit of the ol’ HSV. In any case, we’re expecting some truly infectious mixin’ when Carlos brings out his vinyl after the feverishly anticipated Blonde Redhead/Interpol concert at Liberty Hall.
