RAVING MAD CARLOS LIVE AT GIFGROND 2 April 2011 By 3VOOR12 TILBURG The next one to enter the stage is Berlin act Raving Mad Carlos. This bloke has chosen his alias for an apparant reason because his pulverizing hard electro with every now and then non understandable megaphone vocals makes a pretty bizarre impression. Stranger even are his projections of cryptic images, a strange mix of apocalyptic scènes, nightly dance parties and the worshipping of certain persona. The most eye catching is Carlos' dark fascination with Dean Martin, who according to the messages shown, is really called Satan and has to be resurrected from death. The only drawback of this raving mad dj is that he doesn't know when to stop but after a long stretch he eventually puts an end to his auditory attack. http://3voor12.vpro.nl/artikelen/artikel/44611536 RAVING MAD CARLOS Vervolgens betreedt de eerste Berlijnse act het podium in de figuur van Raving Mad Carlos. Deze kerel heeft zijn alias duidelijk niet voor niks gekozen, want zijn regelmatig verpulverend harde electro met vaak door een megafoon gebrulde, onverstaanbare vocalen maakt inderdaad een tamelijk bizarre indruk. Vreemder nog zijn de op de achtergrond geprojecteerde cryptische beelden, een eigenaardige mengeling van apocalyptische scènes, nachtelijke danspartijen en persoonsverheerlijking. Het meest in het oog springt echter Carlos’ duistere fascinatie met Dean Martin, die getuige voortdurend getoonde boodschappen eigenlijk Satan heet en uit de dood moet worden opgewekt. Nadeel van deze doorgedraaide DJ is overigens wel dat hij niet van ophouden weet, maar na lang rekken staakt hij zijn auditieve aanval uiteindelijk dan toch.

With only rags on his back and a few grains of rice in his pockets , Raving Mad Carlos was picked out of the Atlantic ocean by friendly London, Cockney seal fishers whilst trying to swim for the European Land of Plenty.

The ships captain , a distant relation to notorious East End gangsters the Kray Twins, took a shine to this poor lad from third world Argentina , and taught him English by playing him old Fall 78s on the ships wind up gramophone.
Of course, being from Latin America, RMC had a natural sense of rhythm and in the evenings, for the entertainment of the crew, he would get naked and dance wildly around on the ships deck , to the sounds of traditional European rave music on the BBC World Service Radio, wearing only a pair of white glow-in-the-dark gloves.

The rave sailors kept RMC for 7 years as their mascot on the seal fishing boat until one day the ship was sunk by a German Navy torpedo in the Baltic Sea , only a 10 minutes bus ride from Alexanderplatz ,Berlin -European party central!

The rest, as they say, is history ... RMC took advantage of his intensive ships education , and with this expert knowledge on famous English gangsters, provocative shouting and hardcore rave music , Carlos finally found his destiny on the stages of old Berlin town ,where he still enjoys fame and fortune to this very day.
