I am a UK-based electronic music producer pushing the boundaries of rave, oldskool, and breakbeat culture. Drawing deep inspiration from the golden era of 90s underground dance music, my sound is a high-octane blend of fat kicks, raw breaks, heavy basslines, and nostalgic euphoria. 

I've carved a niche as a modern revivalist of classic UK rave energy. My music captures the essence of warehouse culture—gritty, emotional, and fiercely rhythmic—while using modern production techniques to deliver a fresh yet familiar sound. Whether it’s a rush of jungle drums or acid-tinged synths, I create tracks that resonate with both veteran ravers and a new generation of bass lovers.

I've got a deep knowledge of rave history, which brings that authenticity to every beat. With an ever-growing catalog and a strong presence in the digital underground, I aim to contribute towards the ever evolving landscape of break-driven electronic music.

I was heavily influenced in my teens by '90s oldskool rave and have been a sucker for a good piano line ever since. That passion evolved into a love for techno, leading me to DJ at countless free parties and illegal raves across the South East of the UK, playing on some of the region’s most iconic underground sound systems.

After stepping away from DJing for a number of years, I returned to music with a fresh focus—producing my own tracks. Since then, my productions have gained international recognition, with support from the likes of Carl Cox, Ricardo Villalobos, Floating Points, and others across the global electronic scene.

If you're interested in oldskool rave, breakbeat or jungle inspired music, my work offers a modern take on these classic genres.

Born in Italy as an unconventional clubnight in 2006 then evolved into a collective DJ name playing allover Europe.
Never been big fan of DJ decks full of office machines -namely laptops.
We're also glad fidget house is over.

Having cut his teeth as one of the original resident DJs at the seminal Venus, Nottingham in the early 90’s, Christian went on to play at most major venues across the UK and Europe during the halcyon days. Early in the decade he was named ‘one to watch’ in MixMag, gained pride of place on the Face Magazines’ barometer of “What’s Hot and What’s Not” listed as “…a Balearic DJ who can mix…” and later was named DJ of the Month in i-D Magazine – which in turn led to a coveted place on their World Tour alongside Tony Humphries.

His career blossomed further in the ensuing years and bestowed him not only with the privilege of playing alongside such luminaries (and musical heroes) as David Morales, Roger Sanchez, Masters at Work and Danny Tengalia but also his original inspiration, Graeme Park. By the mid 90’s he established himself as a staple at the legendary Southport Weekenders and secured a monthly residency at the Ministry of Sound. A disco-tinged house sound rapidly became his trademark and was also prominent in his later production work under the Nu Soulboy moniker with remixes and releases coming through such labels as Virgin (VC) Records and Todd Terry’s SoundDesign imprint. More recently his production work has been reinvigorated with two tracks coming out during 2023 and further releases slated for 2024.

To this day, he continues to produce and DJ - remaining an ambassador for “soul-based music to dance to”.
