We dare you to find a New Yorker who isn’t familiar with Chriss Vargas. With a residency at the legendary Pacha New York, Cielo in The Meatpacking District, and an array of Beatport charting tracks, Vargas is the embodiment of the underground New York sound.

Colombian by ancestry and birth, Vargas began DJ’ing and producing over a (bakers) dozen years ago after moving to the United States. With a strong musical background - Vargas is a self-taught drummer and pianist - and a love for technology and programming (Logic, Abelton, plug-ins), he morphed from an educated fan to the puppeteer behind the scenes, creating and playing his own music. 2014 saw the birth of Drop Dead Records (DDR), a place for the producer to expand on his own creations.

I am constantly inspired by the beat. Whether it’s creating it in the studio or banging it out behind the decks, it’s all amazing. ~ Chriss Vargas
 
The year was 2000. Sound Factory was THE home of dance music in New York City, and Chriss Vargas was asked to open the room for Junior Sanchez. Thus began the whirlwind, parlaying into a long standing residency at Pacha New York, gigs at Electric Daisy Carnival, Governors Island Music Festival, Black and White Music Festival, and a larger than life birthday celebration: Voodoo, which gets bigger and bigger each year.

Vargas regularly brings the sound of the underground to your laptop: with singles on stronghold labels including Nervous Records, KULT, Stereo and Dark Vibe, and original tracks like "Rib Breaker" and "Perceptions" on Beatport. His latest studio efforts include a 10-song album for Nervous Records, coming to digital retailers in Fall 2014, and multiple EPs for Waveform Recordings.
2014 saw the launch of Chriss Vargas’ Drop Dead Records (DDR), which Vargas describes as a label for artists from all over the world. DDR serves as a launching pad for Vargas to expand on his own musical creations.

DJ, producer, party starter. Music industry executive, talent discoverer, and music distributor.  Is there anything Vargas can’t do? His story began thirteen years ago and shows no signs of slowing.

The Simplistic Equation.

Simple in his genuine appreciation and respect for music and brilliant in the mastered and well-balanced equation of his creations, Mario Calegari embodies the Simplistic Equation. Born and raised in the Ironbound section of Newark, NJ, Mario learned at an early age that music would define him and that he would be glad to return the favor. His earliest influences included the flavorful beats of South America and the sultry, elegant melodies of Portugal and after receiving his first turn-table at 16, it was only a matter of time before those influences worked their way into his artistry. Mario gained knowledge about the music scene in any way he could. Some nights you might have seen him standing at the door of a jumpin’ night club, others you might find him digging through his cousins’ disco collections. If there was music involved, Mario Calegari had to know about it. In time his curiosity came second only to his talent and Mario knew it was time conquer larger prospects. Naturally, he headed to New York City. He found himself in the likes of Danny Tenaglia, the legendary Tunnel DJ, as well as DJ Vibe, Rui DaSilva, Victor Calderone and Deep Dish whose sounds continue to inspire him to this day. As his addiction for House music intensified, Mario knew that in order to see his vision realized he would need to create outlets in which it could be shared. It was this realization that sparked the opening of his record store Planet Groove as well as his after hours House spot Fuel, both in his hometown Newark. It wasn’t long before Fuel’s buzz had him spinning for 15 hours straight for the insatiable crowd. After noting that he now had a place to play music, and a place to sell music, he concluded that he needed a place to make music. And so, with everything else taking form before his eyes, Mario stepped into the world of producing. He partnered with Ray Briones, a fellow Brazilian from Queens and together the created “Dark Samba” which was released in Europe by Fatal Music based in Holland. An enormous success, “Dark Samba” was favored by renowned DJs across the globe accompanied by comments that production veterans would be proud of. From that first turn table, to internationally recognizable beats, Mario Calegari remains the Simplistic Equation because for him it is exactly that. Simple.
