Chrissy

Chicago mainstay Chrissy makes a very welcome return to the club at Edinburgh Disco Lovers! Chrissy’s truly one of the most versatile and knowledgeable DJs out there, the living embodiment of a DJ's DJ. His sets often centre on Chicago house, disco and rave music but his multi-decade career has ranged from jungle to footwork to freestyle. This unique form of story-telling has seen him invited to play vital spaces like Panorama Bar, Chicago’s Smartbar (where he held a residency from 2015 to 2018), and San Francisco’s oldest and most storied queer club, The Stud. Also known as a well-regarded voice on dance music history, he wrote the liner notes for the definitive Hardcore Traxx: Dance Mania Records 1986-1997 and has written on dance music history, queer history and advice for young musicians in Mixmag, Beatportal, DJ Mag, Red Bull Music Academy, XLR8R, and Electronic Beats. Straight up fun party music incoming! “Chrissy is one of the best DJs to ever walk the earth and I am just going to keep saying it until everyone agrees with me.” — The Blessed Madonna
