Chris started DJing in the late 90s, compiling first mixtapes on dodgy CD players and recording them straight to cassette. As an eager teen, he received his first bit of advice from Gareth Hansome of the Big Beat Boutique: learn to mix.

A mixer with no cue, forced Chris to focus on selection and progression—an approach that still underpins his sets today. He eventually went traditional, investing in turntables and properly learning the craft.

He is currently a resident and host of the open decks night Hot Mix 5 at All My Friends, hosts a show on Netil Radio, and runs sporadic events and stalls at festivals and record fairs as Mash 101.3. He also puts on parties with Orbital Sounds, and releases everything but music—mainly food-based merch—through his label Emergency Use Only.

Chris has played alongside and supported artists including Bonobo, Jocelyn Brown, Maribou State, Mafalda, Apiento, Emma-Jean Thackray, and Alexander Nut, and at venues and festivals such as The Jazz Café, Village Underground, Spiritland, The Cause, Brilliant Corners, Oval Space, The Social, and Secret Garden Party.
