Christian Michael John Reynolds Lang, also known as “Boombatcha”, born on 3rd April 1972, is English and has been dj’ing for over 18 years. During this time he has worked alongside the industry’s leading names and organisations, has had releases on some of clubland’s most prestigious record labels and has been resident on Paris’ oldest electronic music radio station, FG 98.2 fm. He thinks a track should be played, only if it’s worth playing and a track should be made, only if it’s worth making. Like the Eiffel tower itself, he has withstood the test of time and his experience has allowed him to develop his own unique identity..
He started his career as a dj in 1989, at college radio and various college parties, in Portsmouth, England. In 91, he decided to move to Paris. Then at the opening of Eurodisney in 1992, he organized parties for the employees of the park, the memorable « Fog-it-up » parties at the Boule Bleue. After the large success of these parties, his talent was quickly noticed and started playing for many Parisian clubs and organizers. In 95, he became resident dj on FG 98.2 fm radio for two years and at the Gibus club for a year and a half where he played at events such as: Club London, Garden of Eden and Ministry of Sound tour party. It was here he had the chance to play alongside the scene’s most respected artists: Dj Remy, Charly Hall, Colin Dale, Colin Favour and those musical legends responsible for inventing drum n’ bass such as Mickey Finn, Fabio and Grooverider. .
Today he is playing regularly at the Global Underground and Quattrocento parties at one of Paris’ oldest and well known clubs, Les Bains Douches in Paris, which has recently seen guests such as Dave Seaman, Lexicon Avenue, Nugen, Yunus Guvenen (Bedrock) & Petter. Also at Progress @ Vogue, Paris. With Sumsonic guests: Chris Gainer, Darko and Paul Rogers.
