I play an eclectic mix of tracks that I find impossible to put in to a genre. Fundamentally my music is uplifting energised vocal club house music in all its guises be it electro, tech, progressive, funky, chunky or a combo of all. These days its really hard to label a specific sound. Styles are mutating and evolving in to this all-over new sound, which is basically dance music going back to its roots. Limiting myself to just one style? No way – I'd hang up my cans!
Being based back in London over the last few years has allowed me to savour the current dance scene and gradually edge my way in to the clubs as a DJ. My goal now is to be the best I can be at what I do, continually learning and growing. This is what I want and this is who I am. An empty floor is not an option!
The other side of me is also a Producer/Remixer/Song Writer known as the 'Dancefloor Whores'
About "Dancefloor Whores'
Chris (DJ Mach 1), being the engine that drives what is now known as the ‘Dancefloor Whores’, was once a wannabe popstar himself. ‘Splash’ was amongst the first to set a trend that witnessed the rising of the 80’s boy band phenomena. The group were made up of 3 and featured Steve Grant (Tight Fit fame) on lead vocal. Signed to Elton Johns label, Rocket Records, the boy’s began working on producing their singles with giants that included Stock Aitken & Waterman (Qu’est, Ce Que C’est), Steve Levine and Bronski Beat (European Boy). ‘Splash’ caught the attention of the media all across Europe appearing on TV shows, press and a gruelling credible live tour of all the major cities gaining an impressive fan base following. Despite rising success and the big name support, it was unfortunate that the boys label decided to pull the rug from beneath it’s artists and announced, for financial reasons, the end of ‘Rocket Records’ and ultimately the end of ‘Splash’.
Years later, Chris’s obsession for music had not gone away and decided to thrust himself back on to the music scene as Mach 1 the DJ. What started out as a hobby turned out to be a bit of a career path that hit international dance floors in South America, Russia, Europe, USA, Bermuda and the UAE playing at some of the most renowned clubs for various events such as the Boom Boom Room, Zona, Heaven, Pacha, Egg, Fire, Area, Crash, Gallery, Masai, Megawoof, XXL, Coliseum and more recent, spent the summer season touring the Mediterranean.
Under no illusion that a DJ has a life span, Chris wanted to be back in the studio creating his own music rather than just playing others. 2007 Chris created the DJ/Producer ‘Dancefloor Whores’ intended to offer him opportunities to work with like-minded individuals in the studio and behind the decks. It wasn’t long before many an influential ear caught the attention of the ‘Dancefloor Whores’. The first unreleased production ‘Darkness’, reworked the titanic club smash ‘Deux - Sun Rising Up’, turned this track inside out that even the likes of Roger Sanchez offered support on his worldwide radio show ‘Release Yourself ‘ reaching millions of listeners and, as a result, remains to this day an ‘in demand’ record for many a DJ. 2008 witnessed an original first official release with a namesake title ‘Dancefloor Whore’ written and produced by Chris. A commercial dance track reviewed as a 2008 anthem, achieved press coverage and interviews, reached number one in several credible dance charts, remained at the top of Xpressbeats Most Wanted, QX and Gaydar radio jukebox for several months where, having been radio A-listed, led to a guest DJ spot on the Sony award winning digital station, amongst others, around the UK.
Chris has since been in the studio writing and building a catalogue focused on developing his sound driven chunky basslines, infectious hooks and melodies aimed squarely at the dance floor. Unlike many a dance track, Chris insists that his music is not going to be faceless and has now gone back to his roots forming the incredibly talented ‘Dancefloor Whores’ band to front this. All a bit of a secret at the moment as the band are currently rehearsing brand new material to play live but Chris promises to unleash the band on the public during 2009 that will allow the ‘Dancefloor’ to connect with the ‘Whores’.
See you on the ‘Dancefloor Whores’.
