NAME: Chris Anderson
Occupation: DJ/Producer/Record Store Owner
Style: Aggressive House / Funky Techno / Hard Club
Hometown: Houston, Tx.
DJing How Long: 14 years

After experiencing the heyday of the Houston club scene in the late 80s, the seed was planted that would mature into a lifelong passion. During a summer break in college, Chris traveled to London to live, work and buy music for a few months. Upon his return, he formed the Matrix Crew with Andrei Morant, which would go on to be one of the most influential rave promotion crews in Texas. In the early 90s, Chris and Andrei released several records by themselves and on labels like Labworks Germany, which all did well.

Chris and Andrei decided to start a record label together, and after a lot of tossing around of ideas for a name, they settled on the humorous nickname of Chris’ decrepit house at the time, which was called “The Crackhouse”. Thinking they’d found the perfect “shocking” but funny name, they each released a solo EP on the newly formed CrackHouse Records.

At his first Winter Music Conference in Miami, armed with two new CrackHouse white labels, Phreak-E and Overdose, Chris made quite a stir, including selling Overdose to Terry Mullan for release on Catalyst and meeting the Dose/Lifeforce Industries promoters from Toronto. While Overdose was getting mastered and pressed, Chris set up a pressing and distribution deal with Dutch dance music giant, United Recordings (with labels like Touche and Pssst, and artists like Chocolate Puma, Jark Prongo, and Trancesetters). A dream come true at the time, since Chris had always respected and admired the work of the Dutch artists on United, and the Dutch sound in general. Two releases, a royal screwing and a lot of headaches later, Chris cut the deal off and ended CrackHouse completely.

In July 1998, Chris started Chemistry Records, a new dance music shop that took Houston by storm. The party scene was growing, and Chemistry was there to provide the best underground dance music for all the new and established DJs. Chemistry recently celebrated its six-year anniversary.

The best known of Chris’ music is his remix of 50,000 Watts by Blubba Boy. The remix got licensed to E-Traxx in the UK for an additional remix. Billy Nasty placed it in heavy rotation on BBC Radio, and once Carl Cox got his hands on it, it became an integral part of his sets. For his latest Moonshine CD, Mixed Live Vol 2, Carl licensed 50,000 Watts, as well as one of Chris’ original tracks, Rolling Bass.

The most important and satisfying aspect of Chris’ music career is DJing. He’s traveled a lot in the US, Canada and Mexico. After meeting Steve and Wayne (Stretch & Hooker) from Dose/Lifeforce Industries at WMC, they brought Chris to play in Toronto at System Soundbar. The club went crazy for his dirty funky house and techno, and he quickly became a regular in Canada. Chris headlined the World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) in Ontario two years in a row, and also did a tour of Canada from coast to coast.

His style is hard to define, ranging from house to techno, with a dark, aggressive edge but always funky. Not satisfied with the way a lot of tracks were structured, Chris started editing various songs to his liking and putting them on dubplates. Now utilizing Final Scratch, he’s able to edit as many songs as he wants, and play them straight away. You can expect to hear a lot of surprises and unavailable material during his sets. He prefers playing on three turntables, and is versatile enough to satisfy different types of crowds.
