Every dry spell comes to an end. Every cloud has a silver lining. Likewise, these challenging times will come to an end, too. Perhaps the light-heartedness of former days has not yet returned. Do we need to re-learn it? There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
With his new single of the same name, German producer Chris Wayfarer strengthens his musical profile and his standing in the techno and house scene.
The track starts in a melancholic, almost gloomy mood, a dampened sonic image like below ground. Beclouded by deep pads, an arpeggio slowly frees itself out of the darkness. Like light spots, interspersed Rhodes sounds dance upon the slowly stomping beat. Finally, the main theme breaks through the heavy atmosphere: a bold, optimistic melody, reminding us of the gift of human perseverance. All tension releases, the space opens up and gets lighter. The own heartbeat becomes the only sound around and new visions start to take shape. The world’s sound might have changed almost imperceptibly. But there is a new lightness and confidence: Everything will be fine.

Changing Faces radio show 203 - guest mix by Chris Wayfarer (2022 - 02 - 15)

The certainty of walking a path together often seems written in stone. Especially at the beginning. It feels unthinkable that this could separate at some point. So the fine cracks that pervade creepingly through the togetherness remain unnoticed at first. Until they come to light at some point, deepen into rifts and the relationship breaks apart in the worst case. Shambles. What remains is the rebellious but unfulfillable wish of the abandoned to restore old certainties, orchestrated by the deep feeling: „The Fuck I Love You“.
And so the eponymous track by Colt Live, Enny One and Chris Wayfarer doesn ́t do things by halves and takes the dancefloor directly for itself. Funky, rough and minimalistic at first. Single lead snippets and implied chords interrupts briefly the monotony with the heavy bassline. Only with the second break a pad joins and sustain each individual sound increasingly, revealing new spots of light musically towards the end of the track.

It´s Your House @ Feierabend - ODC Oberdeck Chemnitz, 21.12.2023

Corona, war in the Ukraine and in the Middle East, climate crisis. Plus the resurgence of the right-wing extremism. The longing for a calm, peaceful future is suggestable. An utopia where violent, polarizing and unobjective disputes belong to the past, where the interests of all are heard and where heroes advocate for a world in harmony.
Musically inspired by the soundtrack of the serie „Captain Future“ Chris Wayfarer’s wish manifests in a melodic house track: Pads and chords hover over an arpeggio, complemented by a piano riff and decent used celestas. Silky-sounding leads emphasize the title and get the relaxed, groovy sound structure shining.
Still, the track is not only meant to reach the feelers towards the future but also to provide an answer to a crucial question: Who will lead in the present to open the next chapters? Who will turn this utopia into reality? Quite simply: Each individual - "It's Your Future, Captain!"

Chris Wayfarer - #2 Bodh Gaya (February 2015)

After the bombastic first release of Daniel Stefanik on Ace Up My Sleeve Records, we are now entering the second round with Chris Wayfarer! Already 14 years ago, he built up a reputation in the national Drum’n’Bass scene as Mr. Lettuce. As Chris Wayfarer, he loves to fuse Techno and House in such a way, that a melodious brew with a huge portion of groove is being created. He found two tracks, that he could provide us with.

“On The Move” is a crystal-clear stomper with a phat bassline, oldschool beats and a truly thunder of effects. The second track is called “Copy & Paste” and is both a playful and experimental Techno-Electronica piece of music with a slight Kalkbrenner attitude and a warm melody embracing piano sounds and a catchy melody. Chris is always on the move!

Release date: March 13th, 2017 (All Stores)

"Colour In Music take us on a deep & jazzy trip with •Chris Wayfarer• and his Equinox EP.

The title track pens between an almost glitchy percussion frenzy and soothing Rhodes and pan flute melodies, underlaid with a mighty sub bass. Still it maintains a light and soothingly spirited feel.

The •ARBG• (Sit Down / Oblack Label) remix is a much more reduced but arguably even deeper affair, borrowing the light chords and a few instrumental touches from the original. The punchy drums and rolling bassline make this remix a sure shot for the dancefloor.

On 'Equinox', •Chris Wayfarer• takes us on a dubbed out journey somewhere between Reggae and House, where funky stabs and vocal bits meet a heavily saturated 4tothefloor groove. "

Early support from Steve Lawler, Paco Osuna, Sossa, The Mekanism, Hollis P. Monroe, Shiba San, Gene Farris, Juliche Hernández, Reelow, Garnica, James Dexter, Onionz, Pysh, DasBaumHaus, Universal Vibes, Fact Worlwide, Deep in Radio, Kiss FM Ukraine, Mix Feed and many more.

"The super busy German producer •Chris Wayfarer• is back on Colour in Music with his second solo release, this time turning up the funkiness up a notch!
The 'One of Many' EP comes with two choice cuts from Chris Wayfarer and two Remixes.

'One of Many' is a deep and dreamy house tune that’s densely packed with rich pads, playful Rhodes and funky stabs, all driven by a chugging groove that nods to classic old skool breaks, whilst maintaining a solid 4tothefloor feel.

•Mike Morales•’ Remix of 'One of Many' is mounted on a more stripped back beat, that, while still sticking to the breakbeat theme, evokes a lovely 90s feel in combo with the hip house synth bassline.

'Point of View' marks Chris Wayfarers slightly more sombre approach on the EP, with a dark drone bassline, hoovering pads and odd synth blips, yet the almost oriental percussion driven drums make it a sure shot for moodier dancefloors.

Lastly 'Point of View' gets the dub treatment by •Luis Bravo•, and is transformed into a techy minimalistic house track that retains the bassline and the dark atmosphere from the original track, but builds an entrancing mood with the help of additional evolving pads."

The Leipzig based guys at Ascending Branch acquired Chris Wayfarer a second time for another EP after his successful release last year - deservedly so. His new EP “Road Trip” shows once again his talent for moody and groovy house tunes.

The AMANIC Remix works towards an emotional contrast with melodic energy but strong beats reduced to the most important elements of the original while the Henning Rechenberg focuses with his mix on the functionality of electronic music. Beats at it’s best and highly recommended!

A high goal: Lasting equilibrium and happiness are hard to find and seem to vanish easily. Pursuing those, the German producer and DJ Chris Wayfarer has embarked on an internal and external journey.

Rooted in drum ’n‘ bass and knowing every trick of the underground culture, Chris has recently set forth to the realms of deep house, tech house and electronica. He has created his own musical language, featuring at times a floating vibe, at times a punchy and energetic expression – always honest to himself and to the world, in a natural flow and with care to detail.

Whether in the studio or at the turntables, Chris Wayfarer fuses deep house and tech house with sampling from all kinds of electronic styles, jazz, funk and classical music to grow harmonious compositions. Alternating between groovy, funky, rough, melodic, deep and driving qualities: a musical logbook inviting you to listen, to dance and to be happy.
