About Me

Chris Alker began spinning records around 1999 in Austin, TX. He carrried on the tradition of the underground electronic radio show, "The Thirteenth Hour," founded by James "Cookiecrook" Craig and Scotty Kleven on 91.7 FM. Branching out beyond radio, he started working as many routy house parties as possible. Teaming with Steve Hardy, aka “Sushi Steve” , they made the rounds turning even the most hopelessly boring gatherings into ass shakin’ dance parties. Since moving to New York in 2004, he has thrown down his rare blend of dance rock, damaged disco, and electrohouse @ The Mercury Lounge, The Black and White Bar, The White Rabbit, 200 Orchard, Capones, Laila Lounge, and Macri Park. Currently he hosts the weekly dance party, "Art After Midnight," w/Sushi Steve on Thursday nights @ Gallery Bar, and "Vibrate," an indie dance party, the second Friday of the month @ The Lolita Bar, "Deprogram" a disco dirty electro party the first Friday of each month @ Revolver Bar & "Holiday: A Winter Social" @ Home Sweet Home every 2nd Tuesday. Look for a new underground party soon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with criminal mastermind Larry Red.
