Cristian Viviano nasce a Palermo il 2 Aprile del 1987. Inizia la sua carriera da DJ nel 2000, approdando sulle consolle dei migliori club del Sud Italia riuscendo ad ottenere fama e rispetto, qualche anno più tardi, la sua passione per la musica si concretizza con l’individuazione di un percorso alternativo, dove la principale differenza è legata all’impatto con la tecnologia, caratterizzata da sequencer, synth, drums machine. I live set di Cristian evidenziano un background culturale delineato in più direzioni, valorizzando il concetto di “ Party”, termine prepotentemente influente nella sua ideologia artistica. La musica assume un significato esplicito per Cristian, a tal punto da volerla “ cucinare”, per potersela gustare nel migliore dei modi. Le prime release si contraddistinguono per l’essenza espressa dal poliedrico Cristian, nel 2007 una partnership con la Tambour, qualifica il suo lavoro, che viene più volte inserito nei top download di Beatport con i brani “ Traffic & Fly Away “. Si distingue remixando "Let go" di Paul Van Dyk. Nell’ Aprile 2008 la rivista “Trend”, pubblica un articolo nella quale John Digweed elogia Cristian Viviano e il suo stile. Successivamente viene ingaggiato dalla scuderia Mazoom, che utilizzando vari pseudonimi raggiunge in breve tempo le vette delle più autorevoli classifiche, impone il suo “ mood “ con la produzione “A Vucciria”, riuscendo a far rispecchiare le sue origini e a collocarsi nelle bags di affermati deejay producer. Nel 2009 viene premiato ai "TREND AWARD" come Italian Top Dj Young, un suo remix finisce su Nervous una delle più importanti labels col suo pseudonimo 'Kick Chic', nel 2010 perfeziona il suo sound direzionandolo verso le origini dell'House music ed inizia la collaborazione con labels al centro dell'attenzione come (Climatic Sound) di Josè De Divina & Javi Murdok, (Time Has Changed) di Acumen & Timid Boy. Sempre nello stesso anno dopo un incontro con Alex Neri viene promosso ed entra in Tenax Family. I suoi lavori sono supportati da Big ai livelli di Richie Hawtin, Danny Tenaglia, Ricardo Villalobos, Reboot, Sis, Laurent Garnier...

CLMTC007 'Cristian Viviano meets Antonio Castello' "ENLIGHTENING EP"
Everything about Jose de Divina and Javi Murdok's Climatic Sound imprint has exuded quality. From the stunning artwork to the superb music, the Ibiza based label have not failed us. Supporting new talent is a priority, but unlike many of today's new imprints this has never come at the cost of of the music, which has been on point.
Today Climatic Sound present a debut release from Cristian Viviano and Antonio Castello. Hailing from the City of Palermo Cristian and Antonio are two of the most exciting young artists from the new crop of Italian producers.
Opening today's release is the guys collaboration 'We Zoo You'. With its cheering crowd in the background the track has a somewhat live feel. Sparse percussion and warm bassline are joined by the deep throb of the key riff and vocal drops, that all work together to enhance the fantastic underlying groove.
The two other originals on the release come from Cristian. 'Mocas' is full of flavour. Deep and sultry, its keys pulse as its vocal sample drools across the beats and bass. 'We're Indigo' takes us into the depths of the jungle. Bongo's, handclaps and chants are the order of the day here as Cristian paints a wonderful soundscape for our floors.
A bumper remix package accompanies the originals. London based Antonio De Angelis gets to grips with 'We Zoo You', Mirco Violi takes 'Mocas' on a devilish groove and System of Survival drop two versions of 'We're Indigo'.
