Final Lap (Extended Mix)

Label DJ for Hekwapi Records

"My first contact with the world of Psychedelic Trance has started in 2014 but I have began to appreciate and embrace this movement during my travel in Australia where I attended at many parties and doofs around Melbourne.
These experiences truly inspiring and motivating me to be a part of this scene and I have started taking my first steps DJing in 2017 in Italy where I am currently based and since 2020 I am part of Hekwapi Records.

I think Music can raise any kind of emotions and feelings, so my mission is not only to bring fun and happiness to dancers and listeners but also to give an introspective journey discovering the deepest and hidden part of their being and why not, also the darkest part of themselves.
My DJ sets are characterised by a selection of Music that flows into the various shades of night-time Psy Trance, especially the darkest sounds such as Forest and I would like to spread and to support who create this brilliant Music.

Open your ears, minds and hearts, Music is one of the best way to trasmit what words couldn't express. "

Cristian Argese, in art Chris Raynor was born in Turin in 1981 and as he was growing up his passion for music grew, affirming itself fully at the age of 13.
discovering the EDM scene (Electronic Dance Music - the alternative dance music scene, which was then composed of techno, mediterranean, progressive; and trance to a lesser extent) and as a result of this, with time Chris began to mix for himself.

Fascinated by the possibility of being able to express himself through music, Chris began his musical journey in 2000, becoming the resident DJ in a relatively famous Techno Club in Turin just a year later.

From 2003 onwards, Chris began to play in various clubs in Italy, such as:

2004/2005 Winter season “Privé Afrodite” @ Club Due (Cigliano-Vercelli) 

2004/2005 Le Saline (Oristano- Sardinia) (as guest)

2005/2006 winter season with staff Remida @ “Ultimo Impero” (Cuneo) 

2006 Summer “Privé Monella” @ Privilege (Airasca-Turin) 

2007 “Trance Lovers” @ Studio 15 (Noventa di Piave-Venice) (as guest)

The need to find new impulses, for the sake of a continuous evolution, gave life to the foundation of a new movement at the beginning of 2007 called T.T.M. - "Turin Trance Movement" which created TRANCE in PROGRESS parties (where Chris is resident DJ) with the goal to represent all the fervent people who, like the founders themselves, are constantly following the path of Trance sonorities.
