His production work started right at the roots of electronic music in the British Isles, writing tracks for electro\/breakdance outfit The Rock City Crew and 1987 UK house cut T-CUT-F. Since then he's released music under 30 different pseudonyms with over 500 remixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDecision Time\u003c\/i\u003e is Charles' first major solo record since 2001's \u003ci\u003eBorn On The 24th July\u003c\/i\u003e, and features an array of artists from a number of different eras, guises and genres Charles has been involved with over his prolific career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles was at the forefront of the halcyon years of deep house, working with vocal talents like Robert Owens, Tracey Thorn, Terra Deva (aka Furry Freaks), who features here on \u003ci\u003eWait And See\u003c\/i\u003e, and Shara Nelson, perhaps best known for her vocals on Massive Attack's \u003ci\u003eBlue Lines\u003c\/i\u003e album, featuring here on \u003ci\u003eThis Is Real\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles' influence also spreads to the South African house scene with his Presence single \u003ci\u003eBetter Day\u003c\/i\u003e becoming a huge radio hit there in 1997.
