What's Charles Webster up to?

Loved loved his recent mixes for Voom Voom ("Best Friend") and Delgui ("Highlights"), which are both on the vocal deep house-ish tip.

He's a friend of a friend and lives in the same city as me, but the linking friend in question has left town and I haven't seen him around in, ooh, four or five years now. Yes, he has been awfully quiet...?

Anyone checking for Charles? Not much talk! Admittedly new name to me as of a couple months ago, but have been working my way through his maze of aliases after hearing Born on the 24th of July, which is a certified gem and seems largely overlooked.

The new one — Decision Time — is great! I understand he is or was very active in the SA house scene. Who is he involved with there? In a way this album sounds very at home with the recent Azana album many here loved. Give it a look!

born on the 24th of july is one of my fav albums of all time. i was really pleasantly surprised about the burial remix of "the spell" that came out earlier this year, but i didn't know it portended a new album!!!!! i just put it on and it's fuckin great so far

oh my god this album is fantastic. such a great atmosphere. i can definitely hear the influence of the SA house scene too but it's much more of a late night vibe than most of that, really sublime

was going to say "wow the second spell captures that same vibe as burial at his best" but then turns out it was an actual co-production

New Charles Webster EP of Mason Bee remixes is pretty great.

I understand he is or was very active in the SA house scene.

this remix he did in 2009 came up in the Rolling Mzansi 2021 thread today:

Michel Cleis ft. Totó La Momposina • La Mezcla (Charles Webster's Club Mix)

surprised there's so little talk here about Decision Time. I mean, it made it into ILM's EOY 77 albums list, which is where I (and I think others as well) discovered it. was it discussed on some other thread?

I've been meaning to bump this to announce how much I absolutely love Decision Time, which yes was a 77 discovery for me, probably one of the best ever. I haven't gotten around to checking anything else out yet though

that remix EP of Mason Bee's "Lumito" chinaski posted (about) a week ago is indeed very good

just reissued mid 90s classic CW remix -

Both those YTs are great, thanks. His bandcamp is quite deep - https://charleswebster.bandcamp.com/ - don't miss the 24th of July remix album and the collected remix comps.

tried to tell you guys (and everyone i know) bout charles in november. not like he wasnt a new name to me, but i was so struck by it. guessing many went straight to born on the 24th of july afterward, but if not i urge you to. such a gem! thanks for the tip on the new stuff -- mason bee remixes are pure class.

i don't think there was much other discussion on here or anything, i just came across it on brad's eoy list i think and was blown away
