Chris Hamilton 

DJ, producer, musician, promoter, and electronic music enthusiast, Chris Hamilton, ( Reperçu§§¡onz ) is based out of Nova Scotia, Canada. 

DJing special events and being involved in the electronic music industry for over 25 years, Chris has had a lot of time to develop a thrilling, energetic, and unique sound that is guaranteed to get people dancing!

Chris’ interest in music started at a very early age. 
Influenced by his late, and great brother, Jay Hamilton, as well as the sounds of the urban, and Caribbean jungles, Chris spent countless hours listening to ska, soca, dancehall, reggae, hip hop, punk, rock and roll and heavy metal produced by various artists along as members of his family throughout the years. 

Chris grew accustomed to spinning wax/vinyl very quickly and was immediately eager to learn anything about djing.

When not performing, he spends his time in the studio creating his own music, and perfecting his DJ skills to set his performances above the rest.

Chris has performed major local night clubs (alongside local hard-hitters, as well as national and international acts alike),

"I've got one foot in the past and the other locked into the future..." ~ EVO

Drawing his inspiration from the dexterous sounds of Mr. Scruff, Gilles Peterson, J-Rocc, Nu-Mark, DJ Shadow, Cut-Chemist, Jazzy Jeff, Kenny Dope and the like, Evo's library spans wide and deep. From his core knowledge and love of funk, jazz, hip-hop and reggae, Evo's known to flex with the crowd on any given night, stretching into the depths of broken-beat, boogie, disco, afro-beat, brazilian, latin, and house.

While most nightspots in Vancouver still cater to the usual mass crowds, there are few select venues where the audience is as discerning as the DJs who play the music. Adam Petipas, better known to locals as DJ Evo, is one-half of the dynamic duo responsible for holding down one of the longest running weeklies in Vancouver known as "The Payback". For 5 solid years, Evo (alongside fellow digger, and former Beatstreet Records cohort, DJ Hubbz) has been dishing out the classic funk, raregroove and soulful breaks by the bricks and pounds. A night for true music enthusiasts, it's the only weekly of its kind, boasting a visual backdrop of the moonlit coastal waters of English Bay.

Crushing dates across the nation while holding down his current residencies in Vancouver, popular demand for Evo's sound has catapulted him to the other side of the Pacific, as well as frequent visits down the West Coast. The spring of 2012, he embarked on a US tour, where he touched down in LA, SF, and moved across to dates in Austin and NYC.

May of 2012 also marked his inaugural appearance at the Red Bull Three Style Vancouver Finals Competition. Finishing third, just a couple of points shy of first place, Evo garnered the praise of local legend and Three Style host, Flipout, claiming Evo's set as "one of the funkiest three style sets" he ever heard.
