Chicago veteran Chrissy is one of the most versatile DJs out there, effortlessly joining the dots between house, disco, jungle and footwork. He's certainly no slouch as a producer either, having released on a range of labels including Freerange, Hypercolour and Planet Mu. His latest album 'Resilience' is a callback to the classic rave sounds of his Midwestern youth, packed full of choppy breakbeats and euphoric pianos.

'Resilience' is being released on Chiwax as a series of three individual 12" EPs, followed by the full digital album in November. Part 2 is out later this week, and we've got the premiere of 'Play Structure' which features a guest appearance from Berlin-based techno artist Dean Grenier.

I make House music. Texture Summit Collective.

I arrived in Los Angeles in 1989 where I become bi-costal traveling between Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco working in the Film and Music Industry. Dancing in the Sound Factory, End-Up, Ice Factory, Mayan, Orbit, the Cat Club and the underground of LA. I threw undergrounds in downtown Los Angeles and ran a legal warehouse for four years. This is my beginning. It will never end.

No tengo palabras, solo soy otro tipo que disfruta de la música.

I have no words, I'm just another guy who enjoys music. 😋
