CHRIS LIBERATOR
stayupforever.com (Stay Up Forever, UK)
Chris Knowles aka Chris Liberator has been a DJ, put out hundreds of releases and remixes and has run a multitude of incredible labels for over 20 years. He’s played more squat parties, underground raves, festivals, clubs and parties worldwide than most and is still completely dedicated to the music and the scene he got involved with when he started out with the other two Liberators, Julian and Aaron back in 1991.
Chris used to be a punk and was in Anarcho-punk band Hagar the Womb and other Indie combos before getting into Techno, although he still plays bass in punk band Dogshite. He’s one of the worlds top DJs and producers of the “London acid” sound, with styles ranging from funky to hard to full on acid techno. He DJs across the world constantly and was the first acid techno DJ to play in Brazil, Venezuela and Poland and was instrumental in starting the movement in these countries.
His many releases have appeared on so many labels it’s mind boggling. These include S.U.F., Cluster, Smitten, Choci’s Chewns, Noom, Polumeric, Prolekult and Routemaster under his own name or in collaborations with Lawrie Immersion, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, D.D.R. and Geezer. His voice features on a number of exceptional releases including ‘One Night In Hackney’, ‘I’m Bored’ and ‘Set Fire’.
Chris is currently working on a shed load of upcoming releases with Sterling Moss for a mass of labels within the S.U.F. collective as well as occasional projects with Lawrie Immersion, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Guy ‘Geezer’ Mcaffer and Lenny Dee amongst others. He’s also involved with the new techno download site 909london.com.
This fiercely anti capitalist, Amnesty International supporting, monster acid music maker, smiling DJ just doesn’t know when to stop ……..…………. and so say all of us.
DANK
(Ultra Music, Funky Element, NYC)
Genres don’t matter when each of your tracks belongs in a category all its own. DJ and producer DANK channel's nearly two decades of New York City blood, sweat and tears into any unforgettable anthem with his name on it. Instant appeal is the common denominator of every DANK release. His path to success in the EDM world has been paved not only by sexy hooks and melodies but also a tireless work ethic. As an official Ultra Records artist he’s remixed songs by the likes of Daft Punk, Rihanna and Avicii in addition to providing a platform for such artists as Lazy Rich and Calvertron via his own imprint, Funky Element Records.
As simple as it may sound, what has afforded DANK so many opportunities is that he makes music from the heart and soul. Instead of chasing trends he produces in whatever style suits his fancy - and his sincerity translates through to the finished product every time. Having worked as both an entertainer and an entrepreneur - and in live music as well as the recording industry - his unique perspective also keeps him on the forefront as a music professional. If his trajectory thus far serves is any indicator, the future holds even bigger and better things for DANK. He’s sitting on a wealth of new music, so it’s safe to say the best is yet to come for this rising talent.
