Chris began DJing in 1998 after discovering a passion for dance music which could not be entirely fulfilled on the dance floor. After an experience in 1996 which almost took his life and a difficult two years Chris was able to put the past behind him, start a new life and express his emotion in dance music. He began playing Trance and in 1999 Chris was a resident for the House Of MissDemeanour which gave him the opportunity to play out on most Saturdays and to a crowd of 300 people on Millennium Eve, which at the time was his biggest audience and is still a memorable moment for him.
In 2000/01 Chris was intrigued by different genres of dance music and moved away from Trance to try and discover his own unique style by incorporating Progressive and Techy sounds inspired by productions from the likes of Mr G, Timo Maas and on a tougher note from Mauro Picotto and on Recycled Loops by Umek & Valentino Kanzyani. As well as being inspired by DJ sets from Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Christian Smith and Slam, he was in his element.
Late 2005 saw Chris style progress further into sub genres of House with the incorporation of Tribal as well as Minimal Techno. In early 2006 he joined forces with Stu Clark to play a string of back2back sets which included Futurism for Club Class. This collaboration of the two Tech House DJs was welcomed by many and they played back2back to open the PunchFunk stage at HI:FI South in May and again at Global Gathering 2006, which was an immense experience for them both.
Chris' 2nd mix dedicated to everything PunchFunk made the top 4 in a July '07 issue of DJ Mag, he was surprised and very pleased with the result as it was the first time he had posted in the DJ Mag forum. He has been Label Manager of PunchFunk Records since Spring 2007 and is also studying for a BA Hons degree in Digital Music at University in Southampton, UK, which he is due to complete in 2011.
Aside from this Chris has just secured a slot on the newly launched Tech House channel on DI FM where he hosts a 2 hour show between 4pm-6pm EST | 9pm-11pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month. His show, "Cadencia", will usually feature a 1 hour mix from Chris and a 1 hour mix from various guests.
