Chris Fortier DJ Sets (various gigs)

Halia unveils 'Mentira' on Sounds Of Sirin with a mesmerizing remix by the author of our best selling release in 2023, Alex Twin. The EP features the enthralling work of Halia, a French music producer and DJ who has been captivating the electronic music scene from her base in London. Halia's journey began with a classical education, which has since evolved into a rich tapestry of sounds influenced by her travels across Europe, China, the US, the Middle East, and Brazil. Her debut in 2022 on Earthly Delights and Cafe de Anatolia saw her tracks ascend the heights of Beatport's Organic House charts, leading to further releases on influential labels like Alt Orient, Trndmsk, and Tibetania Records.

Halia's latest offering, 'Mentira,' is a testament to her artistic evolution and the diversity of her influences. The track celebrates the vibrant heritage of Andalusian culture, artfully blending the pulsating energy of organic house rhythms with the soul-stirring harmonies of traditional flamenco. Incorporating live percussion, acoustic guitar, and deep, emotive vocals, 'Mentira' is an exploration of love and betrayal, set against the backdrop of Cadiz's lively streets. It's a piece that invites listeners to close their eyes and embark on a journey to distant lands, guided by Halia's melodic soundscapes, traditional live instruments, groovy organic percussions, and ethereal vocals.

Complementing this release is a remix by Alex Twin, a producer whose reputation is rapidly ascending in the electronic music world. With recent EPs on labels such as Bar 25 Music, All Day I Dream, Pipe & Pochet, Bercana Music, and Coya Music, his work has garnered strong support from industry heavyweights like Lee Burridge, Lost Dessert, Blondish, and more. His releases on Bar 25 Music and Sirin Music created a buzz in the electronic music industry, showcasing his continued ascent in his DJ and production career.

Reviews:
"An album you must hear" Raveline, Germany
"A remarkable album" Groove, Germany
"A coming of age release" www.residentadvisor.com
"Will be referred to as a break-through album, as well as a genre proving album for the underground." www.365.com "This is a sprawling, indefinable record packed with throbbing techno beats, moody atmospherics, sparkling digital harmonies, acid squelches and sparse melodic landscapes -
in a nutshell, it's the type of record you need to immerse yourself in." M8 Magazine.
"It's Fortier in multi-layered experimental mode taking in house, minimal and electro along the way." IDJ Magazine
"A sublime slice of digital electro funk" IDJ Magazine
"This is a wicked collection of deep, minimal, electro, acidic and dirty house...it's sublime" One Week to Live
Magazine
"Surprisingly lies in house’s outer reaches, revealing Fortier’s heretofore artistic depth. As Long As traverses the spectrum of tech-focused palettes to culminate in a truly electro-psyhedelic 4/4-driven experience." XLR8R Magazine, USA "it pulses, it undulates, it controls and it mercifully relents." Big Shot Magazine, USA

Chris Fortier releases his highly anticipated debut solo album “As Long as the Moment Exists” via Australia’s finest independent label EQ Recordings. After a long list of accomplishments that has seen him do nearly everything possible in dance music, Chris conquors the final personal goal of an artist album of his own material. This comes straight from the heart and sees the man spread his wings to become a true artist beyond his fame as a DJ.
The Album took all of 2006 to complete, and all tracks have been tweaked and sublimely edited to ensure the best possible sonic journey into deep sounds. ”As Long as the Moment Exists” explores underground sounds and electronic influences, with an experimental twist. At a glance the excursion starts with ambient sound-scapes before shifting to mid-tempo territory and quirky electronic cuts with searing minimalistic dips through dubby tech house and twisted melodic trips, before winding things back with chilled out vibes to round off an accomplished foray into electronica.
As a producer, Chris Fortier has released over 40 original productions, and remixed countless more. Most notably in 1998, scoring an international dance hit with his original reworking of Delerium’s “Silence.” His remix discography reads like a who’s who of dance music at any one time, while his Fade label continues to be regarded as one of the most respected and consistent dance labels in the USA. To those that know Fortier’s history, they know to expect plenty more to come, for those that are just getting initiated... Welcome!

1.	Hi, Chris!  Thanks for checking in with We Are Machine!  Where and when was this mix recorded?

I recorded this set early in January 2018 at a secret warehouse location.

2.	What specifically made this gig stand out for you?  What made it special?

Any time you can play into the late night and early morning with an embracing crowd, you get those special moments.

3.	What was your approach heading into the gig?  How did you prepare?

My preparation for each gig is the same week in and week out.  I put in a lot of time going through promos and searching for tracks that are interesting and fit into any parts of my extended sets.  I think that’s what takes so much time now – narrowing down your music to have cohesive and strong choices.  Once I’m at the gig and about to start, I find that first track to transition from the DJ before (if there is one) and go with it and let the music and crowd lead me somewhere.

4.	What are some of your key tracks in this mix?

This is an early part of my set with the first 2 hours showcasing deep vibes and building on top with each record.  There are a few of my own productions in this mix including my remix (as Cool Gold with Stephen Wilson) of Phoenix “Rise Up” out now on the Tactal Hots label.  Also included, is an original track (“Lost Letters”), which is in collaboration with Andromo and soon out on Culprit. And, there are other remixes of mine in there too – Slumber “Temple” (Chris Fortier Fully Executed Remix) forthcoming on Motek, and one for Prophetts on my own Fade Records.

5.	Looking ahead, what are some key dates coming up on your schedule and what projects are you lining up for 2018?

I’m looking forward to spending 2018 playing only the shows I really want to play and to cut down on gigs that are less memorable.   I would rather play less, but more meaningful gigs, than just filling my calendar up.

Chris Fortier @ AMH - Asheville, NC January 5, 2019

There are few individuals within the underground dance music industry able to match Chris Fortier for both influence and achievement over the last two decades. With a mandate predicated upon the deceptively simple notion of "constant musical evolution", the founder and owner of the globally renowned Fade Records, is not constrained by boundaries, reflected in both the music he plays and creates.

An extensive list of achievements is testament to such elevated ideals, perhaps best showcased by the iconic 2005 "Balance 007" compilation; a groundbreaking CD at the vanguard of a fresh, innovative and underground sound movement, that history would later record as an aural blueprint for the worldwide dance music explosion that followed in the subsequent decade and beyond. A further eight commercially released mix albums would also contain the Chris Fortier DNA.

As a production artist, Fortier's portfolio of skills have been crafted and honed through an intimate 20-year knowledge of clubs across the globe's dance-floor capitals – from Tokyo, Melbourne, Mexico City to Budapest and Buenos Aires to residencies at the legendary AAHZ in Orlando in the early 90’s through to New York's Twilo and London's The Cross. Always in demand and prolific in output, a continually rising 400 plus Beatport production credits tell only half of an impressive story. Fortier's remix of Delerium's "Silence", was the first and original remix and sold in excess of one million copies worldwide; while work for John Digweed's Bedrock imprint further cemented an ever-growing reputation alongside the full-length album, "As Long As The Moment Exists" and its follow-up remix album on behemoth Australian imprint, EQ.

Never one to rest on his proverbial laurels, Chris' productions have seen him take on the mantle of highly regarded modern producer with releases spanning the underground sound including most recently on Bedrock, Selador, Balance, Mooseeka, Tulipa, Maya, Manual, Ground Factory, Maktub, Mindwarp and his own imprint Fade. His remixes and collaborations since 2009 tell their own tale, as Chris remains as integral, relevant and at the leading edge in the Underground as ever. With an innate and immaculate sense of what makes the industry tick, built upon longstanding personal experience, Fortier's musical evolution shows no sign of extinction.
