Having been awarded ‘Best Break Through Producer’ and several  ‘Essential New Tune’ accolades by Pete Tong, it’s clear the dance community has taken note of his ability to capture dance floor moments and serve them up in an unquestionable fashion.

Tom’s studio prowess has seen him write records with people such as Pete Tong, Steve Lawler and Roger Sanchez, and more recently produce music for the Gucci Fashion show at Milan Fashion Week. 

Going under several alias’s has also garnered Tom a truly global audience, from subtle ambient to forward thinking slices of Techno and Electro.

His own label, ‘Into Orbit’ currently serves as a place where he can release forward thinking electronica textures alongside club ready slices of House and Techno, both of which are produced with a sense of raw textual elegance. 

Currently at the helm of his own radio show, Tom's Attic Hour, where the quest has been to unearth new, old and rare records from any genre. The ability to cross genres and bring a sense of musical freedom is what has earned him the respect and trust of music goers the world over.

A veteran DJ for nearly 35 years, Chris Gallagher got his start at the legendary SIMONS nightclub in Gainesville, Florida, a venue that at one time was always highly ranked by international and touring DJs alike as one of their Top 5 places to play. Considering “the vibe”, crowd response, and the open mindedness of the patrons towards new music, it is easy to see why DJs like Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia, Sasha, John Digweed, and Superstar DJ Keoki, all raved about this renowned underground spot nestled in a swampy college town in the sticks of North Central Florida.  SIMONS opened its doors in the Fall of 1990, and in the very beginnings of the club, Chris warmed up the crowd for Troy Davis, who also had a very successful Saturday night residency at another downtown club, almost directly across the street, called REV. This was not to last, however. The demands of being a full-time student attending sound recording school two hours away in Orlando, compounded with his Saturday night gig at REV, proved to be rather demanding and thusly, did not figure into the equation any longer  regarding the Friday night lineup. Back then, there really wasn’t a true lineup in today’s sense of the word. You had one DJ for the whole night, maybe two. So there was a big hole left to fill after Troy Davis left. Simon Semrani, the local DJ   who owned a small, avant-garde clothing and records store, and now this new space which would become an internationally known venue in a few short years, asked Chris if he could play the entire night; open to close, midnight until ...whenever.  Of course Chris agreed, stepped up his game, and then began a torrid residency, playing 7-8 hour sets every Friday night for two and a half years, until February of 1993, when he moved to Atlanta.  These critical years played a huge role in putting SIMONS on the map and bringing the club to the forefront of the Florida underground music scene. Back then Chris ran the gamut of new sounds, taking people on serious journeys while still incorporating multiple genres of music, some electronic and some not. But whatever style Chris played, the dancefloor was always the place to be. The legend of Chris Gallagher began by being the first, longterm resident DJ of SIMONS, a special place where people’s lives changed after one night, and in turn helped to give SIMONS the reputation it has today as one of the best underground clubs of the 1990s.  

In addition to maintaining a quarterly residency at SIMONS for over ten years, Chris was consistently a major figure in the Southeastern rave circuit, with performances too numerous to list here. However, he has had the pleasure of opening for such notables as: Paul Van Dyk, DJ Dan, Frankie Bones, John Debo, Doc Martin, Kimball Collins, Simply Jeff, DJ Icey, DJ Feelgood, Terry Mullan, Aphrodite, AK1200, Keoki, and Lady Miss Kier to name a few, as well as sharing the bill with Kimball for Sasha's first gig ever in the United States, at SIMONS in 92. Due to countless gigs over the years, Chris has been mentioned in magazines such as URB, Mixer, Streetsounds, Details, and other various publications. 

Chris currently is focusing on the current techno sound, not too mention remixing his official DJ website! Stay tuned.
