▸ Already a veteran techno producer with releases dating back over a decade, Chris Allen’s history stretches back to the late ‘90s drum & bass scene in NYC, where his roots DJing and producing the dark, futuristic atmospheres that defined techstep and neurofunk foreshadowed future accomplishments. He found new inspiration in the revival of deeper techno in the late 2000s and early 2010s, transposing his existing influences and re-emerging on the renown M_REC LTD in 2014 as Allen with his own studied take on deep, sci-fi techno.

Following this with more singles on other respected labels, he landed his debut album on Jeff Mills’ foundational Axis label in 2022, cementing the connection to one of his greatest inspirations. Launching the From Another Star imprint in 2023 with his own First Contact, Allen set his coordinates to deep space with alien soundscapes whose suggestive titles and otherworldly composition strongly reinforce his science fiction themes. His mission remains outward-bound, as seen on his second transmission System Collapse and continuing onwards with new discoveries from emerging names in technofuturism parallel to his own explorations.
