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.

We Are Machine - Live 002 - Chris Fortier

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Yoshitoshi Radio. This week we’ve got a special live guest mix from Enamour and Rinzen who recently released their massive record “Quark” on Yoshitoshi.  Their mix is live from their recent set at DC’s own U Street Music Hall, an amazing club if there ever was one.  Before we get to that, I’ve got 30 minutes from the studio featuring my new record “Exodus” which is out now on Yoshitoshi.  Be sure to give it a listen and check it out.

Chris Fortier @ All That Matters NYD 2013 (6 hour set)

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.
