Mario Chris

Bio:

Play; Sunday. March 25th, 1984. A soon to be definitive musician was born…

Fast-forward; 4 EPs, 10 solo tracks, 8 remixes and the GlobalTwin collaboration, with as many in the pipeline in just two years and a promising career in music production and DJing.

Re-wind; Mario Chris was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. From his early teens Mario Chris realised that music was his calling. With just his pc and a crappy midi keyboard Mario put together bootlegs of anything and everything adding his own touch with his trippy beats and crazy basslines.

Quickly gaining respect as a producer and DJ, Mario Chris soon got his own radio show on one of Nicosia’s radio stations, playing on a weekly live 1 hour broadcast, rapidly gaining a following.

With the new wave of progressive house music sweeping through Cyprus during the beginning of the millennium things began to become clear, and so ..ing school and his military service, there was only one path for him to take; music production.

In 2004 he went to study Music Production in Athens, being taught by his mentor Christian Cambas begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting, who helped him refine his skills and bring out the natural talent for producing exciting music.

Realising this upcoming musician’s talent he would later sign him to his record label, Devilock Records under which he would sign his first EP, Colordots which went to the Juno.com and trackitdown.com Top 10 charts and was played by the likes of Flash Brothers, Hernan Cattaneo and Thomas Penton.

Since then he has had a radio show on and was responsible for the audio productions of Cyprus’ biggest dance music radio Energy 107.6, played in Nicosia’s legendary Versus club and has continued to produce quality music under Devilock and Oryx Records. He next released two new EPs, 8 Bit Lovers (Devilock) and The Th3rd EP (Oryx).

Fast forward; Past summer 2008 Mario Chris was a guest DJ at Cavo Paradiso, one of the world’s most renowned clubs and remixed Israel’s famous trio Flash Brothers ‘Sit Down, Stand Up’ which was released by Devilock Records.

In December 2008 Mario Chris has had the pleasure appearing at the ‘Transmusical Festival’ which was held in Rennes, France.

After the successful EPs ‘Color Dots’ and ‘Space Invaders’ and the booming remixes of the classics ‘Died in Your Arms’ and ‘What is Love’ the charismatic DJ and producer Mario Chris presented his first and much anticipated album ‘Boombox’; featuring 10 progressive and electro-house tracks.

Despite all these releases Mario Chris seems unstoppable! Only a few days after his album became available exclusively at beatport.com the talented producer releases a remake of the world known hit ‘Greece 2000’. Check it out on the 23rd of January 2009!

At the rate this young artist is going with his cool electro riffs and sexy basslines it’s no wonder why he’s hit the dance music scene with such an explosion…
