Introducing: Chris Harris:

Chris Harris is a self taught DJ with both mixing and scratching skills. He’s been smashing the decks for the last 24 years Chris got his first set of technics at the tender age of 12, and soon learnt to beat mix and scratch, hard house and trance is where it began for Chris progressing through several other genre's. Chris still loves to play his vinyl to this day. By 18 years old Chris was playing at various venues in and around leeds, these included Stinkies Peephouse, Bar Home, Roses Bar and Soul Circus to name a few. 

He has since moved with the times and invested in some CDJ’s and XDJ’s where he has continued to push himself into more complex routines and teach himself new skills. With the times came Chris’ internet radio show - Bangerz and Smash. This was first hosted on Funkiez Radio and then quickly followed by BassStream Radio where he stayed for 6 years.. 

Chris has played various venues on the bass scene over the last 6 years, this was highlighted in 2017 with his debut at the super club that is Niche in Sheffield.. He has since played for the legendary casaloco and hanky panky and niche on tour also gracing the decks at one of Leeds rising nights boombox circus

Speed garage, bassline,organs, 4x4 and the extreme heavy bass are what drives Chris’ sets nowadays although he likes to go back to his roots of hard house and trance at times . He loves the dirtier grizzly tracks so always expect a set jam packed with bangers and plenty of scratching
