BIO.
From the young age of 12, when Chris first got his hands on one of his dad's turntables at home, and attempted to scratch the needle on one of the family's LP collection... an album by 70's disco icons Boney M, he had no idea that the primitive & delicate needles this antique turntable used would not be designed for such use...Damaging no less than SIX stylii in a space of a year, (In his defence he was imitating Run DMC; after all, it was the 80's) and nearly 19 years later, Chris X has been known to leave dancefloors screaming for more, captivated in a euphoric & bass-thumping mash-up of "Melodic, yet Driving" Dutch Hardstyle, UK Hard Dance & German Hard Trance. Some things are just worth the wait....
Also one to appreciate various genres of music, Chris X began his love-affair with Technics 1200 turntables in 1992, and over the years had seen him start playing-out at everything from house-parties to university campus parties to Federation Square outdoor events, moving across to nightclubs such as DeBiers (2002-2005), Dream Nightclub (Duel-June til Oct'06), The Laundry (PsyNRG-Oct'06), CBD Nightclub (3D-Oct & Nov'06), Saratoga (Jan '07) & Bar Altitude (Elevation DJ Comp-Aug'06).
With a music style that has evolved somewhat over the years, from the '90s sound of SL2, DJ Seduction, KLF, Marmion, Gat Decor, Tony De Vit (R.I.P.) & Oakenfold to the new millenium influences like Corsten, Tiesto, BK, Scot Project, Steve Murano & Van Buuren, Chris X has always kept a close finger on the pulse of the dance music scene, seeing the scene evolve from the early days of Dome, Monkey & a weekly Hard Kandy, to TODAY'S PHD, Pharmacy & 3D, and firmly believing that the best has yet to come in today's Trance music scene.
Being influenced by some of the local greats like Ben Kakoschke, Jewelz, LCK, Jason Midro, Jeremy K, Kat, Soul- T, Andy Van, Anthony Pappa, Sean Quinn, Master KAOS, Lisa Carrick & too many more to mention, Chris X is a dj that plays the music FOR the people; being a "Raise Your Hands-In-The-Air" kinda dj, always revving up crowds wherever he plays, promising no less than Bass-pumping, Floor-stomping & Bangin' HARD as NAILS trance.
In late December 2006, due to personal issues, Chris X decided to put his djing to rest. But after much love & support from fellow DJs, friends and loved ones, and countless requests from fans & friends alike NOT to quit, Chris made his return to DJing and turntablism in 2007.
Expect no less than bangin tunes and rockin thumpin basslines! CHRIS X HAS RETURNED!!
