1) Italian… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists using the name Don Carlos:
1) Italian deep house producer and DJ Carlo Troja
2) Jamaican reggae singer and composer
1) Carlo Troja aka Don Carlos hails from Varese, in the North of Italy, and is active as a DJ from the late 70's.
He debuted as a producer towards the end of the 80's with the single 'Alone' on Calypso Records (Irma), which became one of the cult tracks of the international Deep House scene. His productions have always mixed House rhythms with afro-american jazz sounds, verging sometime towards disco, sometime towards progressive house or electronic soul.
In 1992 IRMA USA released his first album 'Mediterraneo', followed in 1993 by the Montego Bay project, produced together with Stefano Tirone (S-Tone Inc.), also on IRMA. He then released some singles on the Chicago based label Guidance under the Aquanauts moniker. He also reached the UK charts with the hit 'You Make Me Feel', sung by Byron Stingley, cover of the cult song by Sylvester.
In 2000 he released a single on Erik Morillo's Subliminal Soul label and played highly acclaimed gigs at Ministry of Sound and Turnmills in London. In 2002 he released his third album 'Music in My Mind' featuring top guest vocalists like Kim Mazelle, Michelle Weeks, Taka Boom and Kevin Bryant.
Following two mixed compilations ('Cafe De Paris Saint Tropez' and 'DJ Set') in 2004 IRMA released a collection of his 90's productions titled 'Mediterraneo', like his debut US album.
After that a serious car accident kept him away from clubs and recording studio for several months. Finally back in shape he released his fourth album 'The Cool Deep', 8 years since the previous one, which includes all the unreleased material produced during this time.
2) Don Carlos (born Euvin Spencer) was born and raised in one of the most deprived regions of Western Kingston, Jamaica, in a district known as Waterhouse. It was also a musical spawning ground for many of Reggae's greatest talents, such as King Tubby, The Jays, Junior Reid and King Jammy. Don Carlos started his singing career in 1973, as one of the original members of the roots vocal group Black Uhuru.
Alongside other founding members, Don played a prominent role in the recordings of the highly acclaimed Love Crisis album for producer Prince Jammy in 1977. The album was later re-released and re-titled as Black Sounds of Freedom. A year after the trio's ground breaking debut, Don Carlos surprisingly decided to part company in pursuit of a solo career. Having needed at least three years to get the grips of being a soloist, plus developing a knack for song writing and grooming that distinctive, vocal styling it wasn't until May 1981 that Carlos really took the fraternity by storm, courtesy of a heavy, roots and culture flavored show case album Suffering for Negus Roots.
Since then, working alongside Goldie, his side kick, co-writer and back-up vocalist, having built and consolidated a staunch following through touring the live circuit--plus 12 solo albums--there has been no turning back.

Harvest Time
Don Carlos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
And seperate them from the good
'Cause the day of harvest is near
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not)
Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not)
Like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
And seperate them from the good
'Cause the day of harvest is near
Death to the black and white opressors
Who have oppressed Jah Children innocently
I throw my word without partiality - Listen to I
Let it fall, and let it fall, let Babylon fall
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
And seperate them from the good
'Cause the day of harvest is near
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not)
Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not)
'Cause Jah shall have them in his region
They're half the season
'Cause they shall be cast away
Like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
And seperate them from the good
'Cause the day of harvest is near

The day of harvest is near, and it is a time when justice will be done and the wrongful oppressors will fall.

Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
God will separate the good from the bad
And separate them from the good
And distinguish the righteous from the unrighteous
'Cause the day of harvest is near
Because the day of judgement is approaching
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not)
Pity those who claim to be God's chosen people without living according to His laws
Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not)
Pity those who claim to follow Judaism without truly understanding its principles
'Cause they shall be cast away
Because they will be rejected
Like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Like useless debris blown away by the wind
Death to the black and white oppressors
Kill those who have oppressed the innocent with racism
Who have oppressed Jah Children innocently
Those who have unfairly oppressed God's people
I throw my word without partiality - Listen to I
I speak the truth without bias - listen to me
Let it fall, and let it fall, let Babylon fall
Let my message spread and let the oppressive system of Babylon fall
'Cause Jah shall have them in his region
Because God will judge them according to His standards
They're half the season
They are only here for a short time
'Cause they shall be cast away
Because they will be rejected
Like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Like useless debris blown away by the wind
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds
God will separate the good from the bad
And separate them from the good
And distinguish the righteous from the unrighteous
'Cause the day of harvest is near
Because the day of judgement is approaching
