Carlos da Silva's history in the electronic music community spans far beyond just DJ/Producer. In the 90's he founded the record store, Delicious Music, devoted to the often overlooked styles coming out of USA and Europe. Always eager to develop and promote talent, he used his EatKnowledge, and EatHouse labels to find and expose techno and house artists such as Jacob London and Chris Lum, as well as internationally recognized artists such as Fred Gianelli, Rabbit and the Moon, Junior Vasquez, AK1200, and DJ Garth.
