Carlos Jadraque

One listing in New York, over the last three years

Carlos Jadraque is a globe-trotting creative director and DJ, moving seamlessly between the worlds of music and fashion. Known for his magnetic presence behind the decks, he guides the room with an almost oracular instinct through high-energy sets that fuse the deep groove of house with hypnotic tribal percussion and flashes of disco glamour—creating dance floors that feel both sophisticated and wildly alive.

Carlos’ music career has taken him to iconic international clubs such as Le Bain, Good Room, Boom Boom Room, House of Yes, Marquee, and Paradise Club at the W Hotel. He’s held residencies at Hotel Americano in NYC and Gitano in Miami, performed at private events and for luxury brands worldwide—including Giorgio Armani and Dsquared2—and has opened for artists such as Honey Dijon, Róisín Murphy, Brooke Candy, and Lil’ Kim. A natural bridge between sound and style, Carlos also crafts sonic identities and curates soundtracks for fashion and beauty brands like VIOLETTE_FR, Baja East, Esteban Cortázar, D’Orsay, and Pedro del Hierro through his sound design agency, VOODOOHOOD.

Beyond the decks, Carlos brings his creative direction and branding expertise to renowned names such as KITH, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Oakley, Stephanie Gottlieb, and Lladró to name a few.

With a perspective that transcends music, art, and fashion, Carlos approaches DJing as a form of sonic divination—reading the room, shaping energy, and guiding the dance floor through a shared journey of release, connection, and collective hedonism.
