Chrissy is a genre-bending DJ/producer with releases on Hooversound Recordings, Sorry Records, Classic Music Company, 17 Steps, Dansu Discs, Pets Recordings, and more. He’s known for his friendly demeanor, big smile, and unwavering support for new artists and marginalized communities in our scene—traits that shine through in his expansive, multi-genre DJ sets. His selections often center on rave music, Chicago house, and disco, but his multi-decade career has ranged from jungle to footwork to freestyle. This unique form of story-telling has brought him to venues such as Panorama Bar and Fabric, as well as prior residencies at Smartbar in Chicago, and San Francisco’s oldest and most storied queer club, The Stud.

Also known as a well-regarded voice on dance music history, Chrissy ran the popular “My Year of Mixtapes” blog, posting original genre-focused DJ mixes every week for a year. He wrote the liner notes for Hardcore Traxx: Dance Mania Records 1986-1997, compiled the forthcoming Montreal disco retrospective Move Up Energize for Unidisc Music, and has written on dance music history, queer history, and advice for young musicians in Mixmag, Beatportal, DJ Mag, Red Bull Music Academy, XLR8R, and Electronic Beats.

His latest venture is a new record label called Maximum Airtime: a DIY, grass-roots, anti-corporate operation featuring upfront, melody-forward rave bangers from ABSOLUTE., Coco Cole, Tim Reaper, Fear-E, Guchon, Hard Ton, Mister Wallace, and more.

Chrissy is also a mainstay of dance music radio, dropping in for regular guest mixes on BBC 6 Music, NTS, Rinse FM, and The Lot Radio. His monthly Maximum Airtime radio program airs every third Thursday on Dublab.

“Chrissy is one of my fave people in music. He's not only extremely talented and a walking talking dance encyclopedia, he is also someone whose stance I really respect…he actively tries to debunk the gatekeeper mentality that dance music is sadly still haunted by, all with a really constructive approach and positive attitude, truly opening doors for newer blood.” — Violet

“Chrissy is one of the best DJs to ever walk the earth and I am just going to keep saying it until everyone agrees with me.” — The Blessed Madonna

“One of the most versatile and knowledgeable DJ/producers on the planet” — Jerome Hill

“The living embodiment of a ‘DJ’s DJ’” — Mixmag

The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.

I write software, when I have time, I make music.  I like analogue synthesizers, granular synthesizers, drum machines, kittens and long walks on the sidewalk.
