A classic hit gets a modern techno rework

Gotta Get Thru This (Chris Marino Remix)

Blue Collar Dreams Ep001

New York-based artist Chris Marino has initiated his musical odyssey with blends of driving melodies and hard-hitting techno grooves. Self-educated in music theory and the intricacies of piano since the age of 12, Chris found a deeper connection to music while serving in the Marine Corps — a time that sparked his creative transformation.

After retiring from the military, Chris dedicated himself fully to the craft, practicing daily, immersing himself in the world of dance music. Inspired by the likes of Eric Prydz, Charles D, and other progressive house and techno artists, his sound reflects a persistent quest for originality and emotional intensity.

Years of holding down physical, blue-collar jobs didn’t dim his vision. Instead, they added grit to his artistry. “Even through the chaos of work and life, I kept building, refining, and chasing the sound I believed in.”
