There aren't many people who can say they have DJ'd at Pacha in London, out in Ibiza and at The Egg, much less doing both venues before turning 22. Chris has been into dance music for over 7 years initially being swept up by the euphoria of trance and hand house before moving onto the funky sounds of Defected... It was at the tender age of 19 that he made his DJing debut upstairs in Pacha, London when he played a forum party for the mighty Defected label with Sandy Rivera and CJ Macintosh playing downstairs. From then on it was over, the future was clear for Chris. Over the last three years he has held residencies in Leicester, Coventry and Luton, with guest spots in London, playing to a wide range of people and age groups. From students in the Coventry University SU, to dedicated techno heads at The Egg in London when Nico de Ceglia, The Fix and Spencer Parker were playing on the same night... The experience he has picked up playing to these people, sometimes until 7am means Chris is ideally suited to any venue anywhere...

From daytime gigs to after parties, I always have a vast array of sounds to suit, ranging from throbbing balearic and deep house to 4am banging techno/tech house. As well as DJing I have a genuine love for music and enjoy going to good events and partying!'
