ORGANIK aka Chris Organik
We are more than pleased to announce an addition to our growing Triskele family. Chris has been on a slight hiatus after the birth of his son in 2003, but now Chris is back in the scene, making some kick-arse psytrance tracks again and going for it full-on with the releases: Planned for 2005 are numerous artist albums and compilations, including Chris’s 2nd solo album, a new series of Mix CDs called Digital Wizards (Chris will have the first mix in the series), and of course plenty of remixes and collaborations. He now has a solid live set as well as rocking the show with his awesome DJ sets… always interesting, groovy, and ultimately uplifting. His studio activities have been on the increase too, since working on the side in TV he picked up some pretty sneaky production tips which he has applied to his psy-trance productions... hence the even fatter, deeper sound he's recently developed and the dazzling live sets he's been storming over the past year. His reputation stands before him: almost 10 years touring and not a single complaint yet!
We are currently taking bookings for the winter/spring season. For booking information please contact robin@triskelemanagement.com.
WHAT HAS HE DONE / WHAT IS HE UP TO?
Chris graduated in Music Information Technology with Honours in ‘94 and then went on to train at one of the UK’s top sound engineering schools, the Islington Music Workshop. So impressed with his recording and sequencing skills, IMW took Chris on as a tutor for their sequencing course and assistant engineer for their band recording projects. Around this time Chris was also running a mix-tape shop in Camden, selling tapes of trance music he’d mixed himself from vinyl. From those tapes, and going under the name ‘Organic’ Chris started DJing at underground trance parties in the UK, then around Europe, and very quickly he went on to become a well-respected figure in the global trance scene, DJing and playing live all over the world, in every continent and to huge crowds- often as big as 10,000 to 30,000 people. Chris was producing music in his own home studio, as well as working on collaborations with international artists wherever he could. This led to some hit records in the psytrance scene, including his own solo album in 2002 “Don’t Panic”.
And so Chris’s recording skills were starting to be in big demand. Compiling CDs for other labels, remixing, teaching, and of course setting up his own label Organic Records, Chris had his hands full for a solid 8 years until the birth of his son in 2003, at which point he decided to cut down and stay home for a bit. Since then Chris has been more involved in his record label. His moniker of names leads to a wide variety of production styles: Organik - his harder, night psychedelic, Chris Organic - his lighter morning style, and Benefactor - his latest collaboration with Colin Bennun from OOOD/UC/Voice of Cod. He has also broadened his musical influence by starting a company that makes music for computer games and TV ads and runs a cutting edge 32-bit digital studio, masters CDs to professional Red Book standard, remixes bands, produces up-and-coming talent, and works on TV shows such as Pop Idols, and X-Factor.
