About Me

The time has come to update my info as I have decided to no longer talk about myself in the 3rd person. Most of us know that us house music guys write our own bio's. So here is the basic skinny on me and my work (and yet I still ramble on).
Personal info:
My name is Chris and I'm more than 30 and less than 40. I'd give you my age but than I'd just have to update this paragraph every year. You would not know by looking at me, but I am nearly half chinese in my ancestry. The other half is cracker white. I am a married with kids guy. I am native to California but have lived in 6 different cities within the state. San Francisco has been my adopted home since 1993 but my heart is in Melbourne Australia. I am a man of many interests and as a result, I know little bits of info about a lot of things. However, I am far from an expert on anything. I am both a cynic and dreamer. I am both calm and passionate. I am spiritual but not religious. I am always questioning authority I am not a believer in how my government is run and am suspicious of all politicians corporations. My main passion is music. Architecture & urban design run a close second. I am honest to a fault and enjoy helping others. To conclude this section I say, that by all accounts I am a lucky, lucky bastard.

Professional info:

DJ'ing
I have been a working DJ since 1992 but did not start traveling the world until 2002. I have been purely blessed to have had these experiences. I have played at major venues and festivals and have some amazing experiences behind the decks. Most notable are shows at The Southport Weekender in the UK (twice), Field Day and Home nightclub in Sydney Australia, Ministry of Sound and Neighborhood in London, Cielo in NYC, Electric Circus in Adelaide Australia and anywhere in Melbourne Australia. Other cities I've been to include, AUSTRALIA (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Collangatta and yes, Wollongong) BRAZIL (Sao Palo, Rio De Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba) CANADA (Vancouver and Toronto) EUROPE (Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Skopje, Barcelona, Mallorca and the Canary Islands) UK (London, Southport and Glasgow) U.S (Seattle, Portland, L.A San Diego, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Orlando, Gainesville, Baltimore and N.Y.C) I have met many great people and have had the time of my life through this experience. If you are one of the "friends" I've met along the way, thanks so much.

ProductionI also produce house music. Between 2001 and 2005 I had 80+ songs published and pressed on labels from around the world including notable names like Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Hooj Choons, and Arista. In 2004 I was honored to find that I had been nominated for a Grammy for a Jill Scott remix I did with my then partner Jay-J. I have also remixed Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, Missy Elliot, Luther Vandros and Mariah Carey. I currently executive produce for my good friend and SF legend David Harness (under the name Harlum). In addition I also have experience mixing and recording for other House music talent. Much like my experience behind the decks. My opportunities in the biz have been a huge honor. Going from a young punk who found the rave in 1990 to having my music heard in all corners of the world is very humbling. Thanks to all who have supported what I do.OtherLastly, I own and operate a company called Moulton Media (aka M2). M2 is a one of a kind electronic music creative center in the heart of SF. A 7000 square foot facility, we are the home to some of the brightest starts on the west coast. M2 provides creative workspace to the following artists: Miguel Migs, Dirtybird and Mothership, Smash Hit Music Co, Yerba Buena Discos, Fred Everything, and Amenti Music. For a full list of current tenants and past clients visit us at moultonmedia.net In addition to providing space to creative and innovative talent, M2 also offers education opportunities via our Emc2 workshops. Emc2 is series of workshops that focus on the creative side of composing, mixing and selling electronic music. More info can be found at abitaremusicgroup.com/emc2
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Yours in the beat,
Chris Lum
