In the winter of 1997, Christopher T. Lee fell in love with his first synthesizer which would later turn into an orgy of knobs and faders. As the equipment started to dwarf him in his small home in Santa Cruz (California), live shows became less of a priority. The studio started to dwarf him and the mix-downs had begun. Surprisingly, the turntables came late in the game with the first piece of the collection appropriately being The U.S. Tournament in 2003. While first inspired by Steve Bugs mixes on Paxahau, Chris intrigue continues to grow through the techy fringes of house music.
With his debut (Catch) on Pokerflat Recordings, the world saw instantly that Limaçon has what it takes to push the dancefloor, yet maintain a "listening" quality which lacks so often in dance music. His follow-up on Resopal Schallware (IMP), let him flex his tech-funk muscle while his tracks on Intrinsic Design (Muster Funk) took on a deeper late-night vibe. Most recent is a 3-tracker on Force Inc which is blowing up techy floors around the globe.
Currently, he is pushing towards a sound which ranges from techy & pumping to dubby & funky while always leaving something for your body to groove to. Artists such as Martinez, Trentemøller, Rob Acid, and Misc. have played a very important role in his evolution and with multiple releases in the works, Limaçon shows no signs of slowing down.

chris, dude, seriously you exceeded my wildest expectations on Saturday. i was SO impressed. you need to play out more and shop those tracks son....it was a pleasure, hope to see you and your girl out more often. And we'll get that Trivial Pursuit night planned soon....
So I know I'm always failing to get you to come out for this but these guys are ridiculous. Remember when we saw Buttrich and we were both standing there like "What!?" It's like..... that good.
hey there. what up? i saw you rock it at the 3 channels kontrol show a couple weeks ago. awesome set! and we would love to see you this sat at oasis. we are trying to get some techno goin east bay. we need all the die hard techno heads to come out. should be a good thing. see you then!
Come see what's been having people out until 2AM consecutive Tuesdays in a row. Jason Short opens up, gettin' everybody in the mood. Then On!Science, Nightlight residents Kenneth and Travis will hit it for the next few hours. Ken's slamming, melodic original tracks have the whole scene talking. Special guests will pepper in and out during the evening so you never know what kind of goodness you might be privy to.
Thanks for the tip man! I ordered a shirt as soon as I saw it. I can't wait, Mountain is going to be so jealous! It was great to have you guys over last month by the way. When will I get to see you again? I'll be moving back to the woods in a little over a week, and then there's the Burn...
of all of the items in my life i've lost, nothing leaves me with sorrow like the theft of my 1999-2000 era Limacon disc; i miss it more than my stolen sampler, my ghosted cat, or my childhood bed. i am haunted, nay vexed by this lost CD; it was raw and intense and unpolished, and frikkin' brilliant. ah, the torment of attachment....
