Chris Archee

“Music has never given up on me, so I will never give up on music.”
DJ, songwriter, producer, tech nerd, teacher, guitar player, performer, music superfan, father, survivor. What do these terms mean when applied to a human being? They mean essentially nothing and become words, labels, tags to place on a shirt, in a post, a way for us to describe ourselves. They are at once a collective now that instantly forms a collective history.
His latest Synaesthesia is testament to that. It is a snapshot of an artistic moment, yet also looks back on a career defined by experimenting, performing and listening to music. An organic psychedelic rollercoaster taking the listener through ideas, nuances and beliefs told from the story of colour as waveform. Electronica fuses with roots, 80’s alt pop bonded by alchemy with breaks and progressive house. Playing the launch live to a packed house and love streamed showed the artist at his improvisational best.
Archee is first and foremost a maker of music that he wants people to be interested in. To be inspired by, to jump in the air or sometimes just to laugh. His past work in acts such as 2 Fat DJs, Fluid Time Carnival, Diatribe and Auguesso has led to the captured moments in time in your ears right now. His DJ mixes both live and online inspire the same. To lift the crowd into blending their collective psyche with the artist through a sonic story.
