Leipzig original Christian Fischer, DJ and producer for over 25 years by now, is renowned for his hybrid and flexible, heavy-hitting yet fragile techno style which fluctuates and oscillates between anthemic house and seminal electro while also embracing the most frantic frequencies. To put it short: his melody-driven, uplifting and progressive sets are legendary.

His breathtaking flexibility and scope is down to Christian’s residencies where Fischer honed his skills, amongst them at Leipzig city’s famed Distillery club, one of Germany´s longest-standing techno vaults. Running for over four years, his bimonthly Definition Night at Distillery has become a steady fixture in the event calendar, with guest DJs like Dave Clarke, Mark Broom, Spektre, Funk d´Void, Joseph Capriati, Renato Cohen and many more joining Fischer´s techno ritual.

His equally successful imprint Definition Records has become an integral part of the international techno scene over the years while growing into a varied outlet that has helped to shape the movement. Called into existence in 1999, Fischer released over 50 EPs which featured over 100 artists from all around the globe, amongst them Martin Eyerer, Justin Berkovi, Eelke Kleijn, AKA AKA, Valentino Kanzyani, and Davide Squillace, just to name but a few.

Christian is a happy-go-lucky fellow who always embraced stylistic advancement and technical innovation, new DJing technologies and new ways of thinking and propelling himself. Jump-starting his career on the befriended Statik Entertainment label which is his primary outlet for offshoot projects of the more experimental kind  until today and sits elegantly next to his more mainstream-orientated ventures, he has, since then, released celebrated EP on imprints as varied as Soma, Craft Music, Patterns, Takt, Toolroom and Loaded, as well as producing remixes for Slam, Outsiders, Alex Young and German singer Sabrina Setlur.

In2001, he teamed up with colleague DJ Murphy, the sensational turntable talent Fischer unearthed on one of his countless Brazil tours and signed for his label straight away, to produce and play under the moniker Deckmonsters. With their crazy turntable tricks, they broke every preconception what a DJ set is like, releasing their first longplayer in 2008, swiftly followed by Christian Fischer’s solo debut album “Bryzant Games” released on Bryzant in 2009, and his second longplayer, “Change Disko”, a very special album, containing the right track for the right moment in the right club. He also has tag-teamed in the studio with an array of producers, such as Whebba, AKA AKA, SuperFlu and Lucca.

In 2009, Christian started Bryzant Radio – a bi-weekly radio show. With the best tunes from the clubs around the world and featuring guest-DJ mixes, Christian invites DJs like Renato Cohen, Spektre, Perc, Bruno Morphet. The show is broadcast through the best radio stations worldwide from Ibiza to Canada and from Philippines to Hungary.
