Fueled by a deep love for broken rhythms and bass-heavy grooves, PFunk is a devoted breakbeat enthusiast turned DJ, bringing raw energy and passion to every set. Inspired by the pioneers of the scene and the underground vibe that defines it. Whether spinning in small local spots, online streams, or building mixes for fellow heads, PFunk is here for the movement, the break, and the bass.

Chris blends deep grooves, melodic textures, and hypnotic rhythms to create immersive journeys through sound. With a focus on progressive house, melodic house, and deep techno, his sets are carefully crafted to evolve in mood and energy—built for headphones, but meant for dance floors. Drawing influence from artists like Marsh, Guy J, and Hernán Cattáneo, Chris leans into long transitions, layered textures, and emotional flow. No hype, no gimmicks—just sound that moves.

Had the privilege of “being there” in halcyon days of the early US rave scene at ground zero - Orlando, FL.  Our  (at the time) small, Disney focused town become the launch pad for the American Rave scene via the amazing DJs and promoters that were ahead of their time led by Kimball Collins at Aahz  playing  upfront dance music (simply called house back then) that was generally only found across the Atlantic. Kimball and other local DJs mixed music expertly in our burgeoning underground clubs here to the late hours of the morning often bleeding into the next day igniting a decade long explosion of club music throughout the city.  If you were there, you know.   Aahz spawned a host of iconic clubs including Firestone (now Vanguard), The Edge, the Abyss, Barberella, Marz and on and on.  Huge one off raves like Trance Atlantic and Zen fast followed  setting the stage for todays EDC, bringing more global talent to our dancing city, laying down musical history that everyone that lived it will certainly “Rave” about for the rest of their lives. 

Being a part of that scene led me, like many others, to pursue my own path in creating electronic music.  A passion for DJing led to endless Orlando house parties in early 90s, before joining the Stellar Brand/team in DC providing a residency at Tracks nightclub and  opening up gigs at clubs throughout the DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland before returning to Orlando in 2004.  

Still listening, buying, spinning, sharing the music that moves me. It has been and always will be all about the music.
