Biografie
HUGS – alias for Chris – likes playing and making all sorts of music he
likes, connecting the likeminded and leaving the surface to surf the sound
waves while waving at reality. Back in the hi-school days he was already
busy baking soulful hiphop beats in his attic and tore down dark and steamy
basements with them. Some years later this appeared to have been a fruitful
foundation for the series of afro edits he released in 2017, amongst others
on the London-based label Midnight Riot, which since then have been well
received and included in sets from selectors around the world.
Some say Chris' alias comes with his huggable nature. Besides DJ and
producer, he's the initiator and headhoncho at COURS, booker for Fuck You
White Paper, part of the Rotterdam based Obvious collective and 1/2 of DJ
duo Cosmic Sans. He thrives through bringing likeminded musicheads together
via his so-called Bermuda Triangle (Amsterdam – Utrecht – Rotterdam) and
also curates a podcast serie on Soundcloud via COURS. With his cosmic
brother Willem, he has recently debuted at some of his fav venues such as
Canvas Nacht, Disco Dolly and Claire alongside the likes of LONE, DJ
Boring, David Vunk, Beesmunt Soundsytsem, Awanto 3, SHMLSS and Chaiba, to
name but a few.
During the past years he has also developed a refined taste for a wide
variety of both spacey and floating frequencies that often leave shazam
clueless, yet can feel strangely familiar. Checking out one of his DJ sets
treats you to a melange of uplifting break beats, mystical drum rhythms and
floor trembling bangers, in a surprisingly well suiting mixture of both
synth infused electro tunes and world vibes.
