The Bad Tenants write dope raps and play instruments and sing blues and spin vinyl and combine it all for a sound that’s soulful and unique. 
The live show is memorable. See it for yourself and you’ll understand. 
Seattle, by way of Bellingham, Wa.

Chris (A.K.A DJ Tre-Stylez)grew up in the Seattle rave scene where he frequented clubs such as FX, The Hall, Studio 7 and several underground local venues.  His early influences led to a unique blend of genres and PNW style that is apparent in his music.  

His original love for house music led him straight to the turntables where he discovered his gift for influencing the human spirit through  music.  By the age of 18, Chris was sharing his art with his Seattle community at local venues such as Manga Lounge (AKA The Spot), Club LoFi, Studio 7, Showbox Sodo, and other underground venues.  Chris has enjoyed collaborating with other musicians throughout his career.  Sharing venues with Organ Donors, DJ Wheelz, and several other artists is one of the true reasons he is passionate about creating music that moves fluidly through genres.  

Chris took a break from the stage for a few years to learn the engineering side of his art.  He  produced several tracks during this time with artists in Bellingham and Seattle.  He also worked with Slimevelli under the collaborative pseudonym Church Beats.  He has recently returned to his first real passion spinning Trance, House and Bass music. 

Whether he is spinning Trance, Bass or House, Chris’s music has the ability to transcend time and space.  The music will evoke emotions in any crowd.  These are just a few things to look forward to when Chris Hrtz is on the decks.  

Music gets me high, music is a gift.

One of the dopest rappers you'll ever encounter. Humility is also one of my strong suits. 

I make sounds - you've got ears - let's do the damn thang.

I'm nice.
