Sphinx Dance is an independent nomadic studio devoted to synthesize movement based artworks and processes in varying situations, contexts and environments.

Works synthesized and processes pursued by Sphinx Dance often relate to contemporary art & dance as scopes, as well as ancient rituals, practices, statues, symbolism, and even esotericism and occultism at times. Sphinx Dance do not limit itself by genres or media, or even a type of audience; and rather continuously deconstruct and reconstruct notions of time and its perception, with sonic & bodily experiences that they synthesize.

Cristian Comes is a DJ and live performer born in 1990, originally from San Severo (Puglia, Italy).
His connection with music began in childhood when he started recording snippets and mixes of House and Dance music broadcast on various radio stations from 1997 onwards.
This early exposure to electronic music sparked his curiosity about how the tracks he "borrowed" from the radio were composed, leading him to dive into the world of music production, a passion he never stopped pursuing.
Under the alias Hathor Libra, he released his first official tracks with Smiley Fingers Records, achieving the 10th position in Beatport's "General Top 10 Release" category with Archetypum EP. He also caught the attention of other international labels like XTR Records, with which he released two EPs.
Now based in Milan, Cristian has earned a solid reputation in the local scene with his magnetic sets, blending Acid, Uk and Chigago House with Electro and Break music while often exploring Techno depending on the context. His style draws inspiration from the electronic wave of the '80s and '90s and evolves through a continuous quest for clean, deep, and "alien-like" soundscapes that unmistakably bear his sonic signature.
While in Milan, Cristian met Matteo Busan, a multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer, with whom he created the duo project HAAS. Together, they perform their live show Simbiosi using synthesizers and a transverse flute, bringing it to festivals like Sottosopra Festival, as well as clubs and radio stations such as Fucine Vulcano, Arca Radio, and Unolab FM.
In 2023, Cristian became a co-founder of Gestalt, a multidisciplinary artistic collective that aims to unify musical and visual expression, guided by Gestalt philosophy.
He embarked on a journey of events and collaborations with various organizations and venues, including Milano Pride, Santeria, Club 44 (formerly Dude), Linea Milano, Est Radio, and Let Him Cook, a renowned DJ set format hosted in the kitchen of a restaurant in Marseille. These efforts have brought him international visibility.
The South Korean webzine Pap Korea featured him in an article dedicated to Let Him Cook, and two of his unreleased tracks went viral at the same time.
Cristian continues to work closely with various local and international collectives, striving to take his passion to the highest levels of experimentation and beyond any imaginable boundaries, always driven by a profound love for music.
