Chris Kanze is a mechanical engineer who loves music in all its forms

Born in Italy and having been a part of Sydney's music scene for a decade, Riccardo Mondfardini has performed in many of the city's most iconic venues.
He has been able to refine and evolve his musical production as he progressed, and found a passion for the warm, tribal sounds of afro house.
His love for music inspired him to start a project called Movement, bringing together local and international artists and producers to create eclectic sounds found nowhere else in Sydney.
Riccardo is known for his high energy and for bringing movement and excitement to the dance floor.

The Legend from Dallas, TX.
