Rick Carbonell’s love of electronic dance music was born in the skating rinks of Tampa, Florida, where electro-funk, freestyle and Miami bass music reigned supreme during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. He taught himself how to mix music at the age of 13 using a cassette deck and a belt-driven turntable he borrowed from his parents’ home stereo system. Later, his affection for the genre was solidified even further during the infamous Florida breakbeats scene that dominated the local airwaves and clubs in the 1990’s, and he would regularly spin this signature style of breakbeats at various local venues and events. Now, after an over 20-year hiatus, Rick Carbonell has taken his passion to the next level, producing music that aims to combine the musical influences of his youth.
