He was born just outside the concrete jungle of New York City, his parents were both philosophers, and met when his father, a classical guitar player and composer was strumming away in the quad on LIU’s Post Campus.  

Kris began attending live music events at the tender age of 3, catching local folk music events and many dynamic singer songwriters. He grew up on a steady diet of classic rock and 60s folk, with Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Leonard Cohen in frequent rotation.  

He started studying percussion at the age of 10 and started performing at local venues with his father by the age of 12 as a guitar and bongos duo. 

In the early 90s Kris became deeply connected to the underground New York hip hop scene, identifying local talent and working at then Koch Records under Alan Grunblatt in A+R at what is now Entertainment zone with artists such as Wyclef Jean, Master P and Jim Jones of The Diplomats. 

In 2013, he took a deep dive into the Burning Man scene, which sparked a passion for house music that burns intensely to this day.  Kris quickly went from promoting events to throwing his own parties, most notably he began to throw ILL Behavior with the Renegade Masters and co-founded the BK Castle parties, best known for showcasing local Brooklyn talent, and serving as the frequent after party destination for the Desert Hearts crew during their legendary visits to New York. 

He made a splash in the New York scene playing for Bang-On!-NYC, Ebb and Flow, Cache Life and SOUP records, and working as a booking consultant for Elements Music and Arts Festival. 

Close to his heart are sets atop some of Burning Man’s most beloved art cars, including the Real Fluffy Cloud and Heavy Meta the fire breathing dragon.  

Kris has made a name playing from coast to coast the U.S. and internationally as well,  sharing stages with beloved artists such as Goldcap, Philip Jung, and Lee Reynolds and plays as 1/2 of Easy Riders.

DJ Amanda has been a force in the Kansas City house scene since 2001. Known for her heavy, hard-hitting basslines and deep musical intuition, she’s opened for legends like Derrick Carter, Stacy Kidd, Mark Farina, Justin Long, Brett Johnson, Mazi, Karl Almaria, and Pat Nice. Whether she’s crafting a soulful, warming opening set or jacking the house peak-hour style, DJ Amanda knows how to move a crowd.

She fell in love with dance first—growing up choreographing routines to Janet and Paula with friends and learning any move she could get her hands on. In 2001, she stepped into the KC rave scene as a dancer and instantly knew she needed to be behind the decks. Just four weeks after experiencing her first house music community—while sober—she had turntables.

A classically trained violinist, Amanda blends raw rhythm with refined musicality. And when she’s not spinning, you’ll still find her on the dance floor, front and center, giving everything back to the music.
