Kris B (Chicago, Illinois, USA) Affiliates: Nightshade Music (Owner/A&R), Armada, Baroque, Global Underground, Ready Mix Records, DI.fm, ETN.fm http://www.djkrisb.com There are very few producers who managed to put their first production on a track-listing from a Radio 1 Essential Mix. Even fewer can claim that feat after being featured by Sasha, and to top it all off, during the Delta Heavy launch party at the WMC. It was no surprise that this debut production from Kris "One for the Road" was quickly signed to Hope Recordings, and was followed by the formation of the live electronic group Grayarea. Following a highly regarded guest mix on John Digweed's Kiss FM 100 show, AM Only picked up the rights to represent the group in North America, and Grayarea took to the road for several headlining US tours. Kris found solo success in his new home of Los Angeles, quickly becoming a resident for Spundae and Godskitchen, while his first solo production "Last Minute Flight" reached number one on the Balance Record Pool chart, and was included on Nick Warren's Global Underground 24: Reykjavik. A few years and several number one chart singles later, Kris is back in the Midwest, shacked up in the studio and aggressively pushing his agenda of on-the-edge, quality productions. His imprint Nightshade Music has quickly risen through the ranks, mainly due to Kris B's relentless pace and a keen ability to place music in the right places in the industry. Kris has been able to achieve this through a simple philosophy of working smart. His debut Grayarea single was initially self released, giving Kris the opportunity to make the right connections and learn the proper channels to promote his music. That first release topped the UK Buzz and Balance Promote Group Record Pool charts, receiving support from Sasha, John Digweed, Pete Tong, Paul Van Dyk, Dave Seaman, Timo Maas and Hernan Cattaneo, and was included on several compilations. Grayarea went on to release tracks and remixes for Bedrock, Silver Planet, Distinct'ive, Hybrid, John Digweed, Steve Porter & Thrill Kill Kult, with compilation apearances on Tiesto's "In Search of Sunrise 4", Ferry Corsten's Ministry of Sound, Global Underground and countless top DJ charts and playlists. Perhaps the most refreshing part of his success is the dedication shown to the vision of artistic future in personal life. It is a never-ending story of young artists making it big at first, then slowly fading away into our residual consciousness, and finally disappearing forever to some cubicle shaped reality that some insist on calling "real life." Kris has shed all the artificial life ideas that our society drills into us every day. "Cold turkey" is the best way to get it done and after launching Nightshade Music in February 2008 he has never looked back. He has dedicated all his time to studio work, managing and promoting the label, and extensive touring of his eclectic DJ sets. Expect to hear anything from Rick James to Moby, 2 Live Crew to Kraftwerk, all mixed fluidly over a bed of infectious melodic house, progressive, techno... whatever he can fit into the groove. Kris has reached several recent milestones as a DJ, producer and label owner. 2009 marks his second appearance on the flagship Global Underground mix series (Darren Emerson GU36: Bogota), with tracks also featured on chart topping compilations from Armada Music (Simon & Shaker: Surfaces Vol. 1 and Blake Jarrell: Concentrate), and hit singles on respected labels Baroque, Ready Mix and his own Nightshade Music imprint, with top talent enlisted to remix his work: Manuel De La Mare, Tiger Stripes and Mazi. A-list support continues to pur in for his productions and remixes, with recent support from Armin Van Buuren, Dave Seaman, Dubfire, Above & Beyond & Danny Tenaglia. It should come as no surprise that this recent string of hits has kept Kris in demand at clubs stateside and abroad. Kris's scope is not limited to dance music, Kris is a multi-instrumentalist with a background recording and touring with rock and punk bands. He had recently licensed music (co-produced with Grammy nominee Bill Hamel) to Konami's 10th anniversary edition of "Dance Dance Revolution", and other commercial music clients including Beck's Beer, ESPN, MTV's LOGO Network and Falken Tires. Kris hosts the monthly mixshow Nightshades on DI.fm and Protonradio.com, with the Nightshades podcast reaching thousands of listeners each month. Past guests have included Desyn Masiello, Paul Harris, Dirt Crew, Pako & Frederik, Thomas Gold and a rotating roster of label artists and supporters. Kris has held residency for Fuel on XM 80, was a regular guest for D:Fuse's XM radio show and Chicago's legendary 'Sonic Boom' show on Q101. Kris has performed at top clubs and festivals across the globe; Ultra, Area:2, Vision (Chicago), Vinyl (Denver), Vanguard & Circus (LA), House of Blues (Las Vegas) to name a few. |
