ARTCORE // PHASE 2 TEAM

CHRS started out DJ’ing at the young age of 15, in his home country of Sicily. His passion for electronic music started young and he started to teach himself how to mix in his later teenage years. In 2023 he began a Sound Engineering course at Tor Vergata University in Rome, whilst working in recording studios in his spare time to become proficient in mastering and mixing.
With the knowledge and experience he gained in a short time, he became a resident and label manager for the PHASE 2 project in Sicily, held at Industrie and Afrobar in Catania, alongside now holding a Batchelors Degree in sound engineering, he a perfect example of a young producer who has many talents in all areas of the music industry.
With releases on labels including Carbone Records, Scuderia, Gomboc, Eturia Beat and Phase 2 since 2017, his first notable release that created a buzz around his name was ‘Depth Coefficient Acid’ in February 2022 on Scuderia Records. The track has amassed over half a million streams online. His productions have been supported by many artists playing Awakenings, Monegros, Verknipt and Tomorrowland.
He followed the success on the same label, with ‘Hard Changes’ in November 2023 with a limited run of vinyl, and in January 2024 his ‘Into The Darkness’ EP was his debut on ARTCORE Records, a release that solidified the bond with the labels founder Indira Paganotto. This led to two more singles in 2024 with ‘Skeptical’ featured on their Face To Face Miami Week VA, and the most recent ‘Mental Groovy’ on ARTCORE’s OffSonar VA.
CHRS has also played sets for Possession, Teletech, Blackworks, Glitch Festival, Tresor and ARTCORE’s OffSonar event in Barcelona, as well as his debut at Amnesia Ibiza for Joseph Capriati's Metamorphosis party.
His music is described as energetic, featuring hard techno with influences of psy- trance, hardstyle, groovy touches, and breakbeat. He also incorporates elements of drum and bass and '90s music into his tracks, a genre that he’s always been passionate about.
