Chris Reece Artist Profile

Real Names:	Christian Hirt & Roberto Pagliar
Profile:	“Music needs to come from the bottom of your heart, no matter what kind of music.” A fitting quote of the diversity seeking producer/DJ duo Chris Reece. Individuals by body but musical twins in mind, the Swiss producer Christian Hirt and DJ Roberto Pagliaro joined forces in 2007, and have brought a warm and positive sound to the dance scene ever since. In perfect balance, Rob scorches the global clubs to bring the Chris Reece sound to the masses, whereas Christian picks up the right vibes in the studio by producing the Chris Reece originals and remixes. Together, they make an outstanding, promising joint venture of all talent and determination needed to make it to the top – if they’re not there already. Both guys have years of musical involvement to back them up on the way. Christian always knew he wanted to pay the rent with music and started toying around with computers to find himself able to produce a track, from start to end, at the age of 13. As time passed and the scene went through a metamorphoses of styles, Christian didn’t only set up his own studio but also clocked up more than 70 weeks in the Swiss single chart, together with partner in crime Franky Fonell. After 10 years of partnership, Christian headed for the Chris Reece direction: one towards a more underground, tribal and progressive house sound. Christian:”My today’s sound is a mixture of modern house music, mixed with 80’s and trance influences.” That same sound can be heard in Roberto’s DJ sets. Roberto Pagliaro is the man with the clubbing spirit and sense of what gets the floors trembling and the global dance crowds move. Over the years, he’s made hearts pound faster – to the rhythm of his Rob Lemon productions, remixes and DJ sets. To guarantee the Chris Reece quality, in both clubs and studio, is kept high at all times, the guys decided to divide the work and each focus on their own part. Like a two-piece puzzle, Roberto and Christian bind their strengths into one strong whole: Chris Reece. As a team, they’ve taken their success to higher levels, arousing the dance scene with tracks like ‘The Fall’, ‘Suave’, ‘Salvation’ and ‘Still Breathin’. With the debut album, called ‘The Divine Circle’, of this Swiss duo coming up at Armada Music in June 2010, including collabs with Nadia Ali, Sam Obernik, Abigail Bailey, Colton Ford and others, Chris Reece reaches higher than their very own Swiss Alps.

Started playing around with trackers and sequencers in mid 90's he soon found himself being a resident dj at a small night club in his home city. Ever since then he's been making it bigger, better, more, making numerous tracks, remixes, & bootlegs, expanding his dj-ing geography countrywide.

Stanley Ross - Wide Fields (original mix) [Enormous Tunes]

Ben Shift - Isla Dorada (Dario Nunez remix) [BeatFreak Recordings]
Dario started his career as a DJ in 1994. After gracing all the big local Spanish clubs, he earned a contract as a resident DJ for Dreams Discoteque, one of the most popular clubs in Spain. After participating in headlining Festidance, Euro Electronica, isotope, la naranja electronic, galaxy, and many more. He has earned his keep as one of the best producers in the north of Spain.

John Dahlback - Don't Speak (original mix) [Songbird]
John Dahlbäck was born in 1985 in a small village not too far away from Stockholm, the Swedish capital. Since everyone in his family was in some way involved with music, it was no surprise when John started making his own. By playing around with his fathers Atari computer John learned the basics and after several changes in setup he finally found his sound. There's nothing stopping this youngster, with more releases than any other on some of the biggest labels. Who knows what will happen in the future but one thing is for sure, John Dahlbäck will be there.

Maximilian Schroeder - Flaechenbrand (original mix) [Rebeat Music]

Matt Darey ft. Ashley Tomberlin - Lost At Sea (Kosheen DJs remix) [Nocturnal Global]
Once in a while, a band comes along that doesn’t just ignore the rule book, but rewrites it. Since forming in the late 90’s, Kosheen have proved that success doesn’t have to come on someone else’s terms. Fusing the plaintive, potent vocals of singer Sian Evans with the darkly intimate electronica of Darren Decoder and Markee Substance, Kosheen create songs where the sounds tell the story as much as the lyrics while the boundaries of genres are blurred and challenged.

Dima & Ed Unger - Great White Throne (Gerwin Koudijs remix) [MK837]
I’m Gerwin Koudijs, born in 1982 in the Netherlands. I don't have that much to say other then that I love listening and making music esp. electronic music. I like to test and play with various music styles but am most passionate of progressive house music. Anyway, if it has groove and/or nice harmonies I'll probably like it! – Gerwin Koudijs

Pryda - M.S.B.O.Y. (original mix) [Pryda Recordings]
Eric Prydz stands alone in his ability to mix commercial success with underground notoriety. As well as triumphing in the charts, the Swede has also always been held in high regard by an adoring underground scene. His careful and smart approach of releasing certain tracks under different pseudonyms, on his own labels, has enabled him to achieve a kind of success that has never been seen before or since. Bringing in fans from across the board, Eric Prydz truly reigns as king of dance music.

Cicada - Magnetic (original mix) [Critical Mass Recordings]
Cicada picked up rave plaudits for their debut album, ‘Cicada’, everywhere from Mixmag to Music Week, DJ magazine to Record Collector and beyond, gave them glowing praise, highlighting the gap in the scene for an electro pop band with the song-writing to match their hooks. Now establishing themselves on the live circuit, with acclaimed gig performances already under their belts, they’re set to be a mainstay of festivals across the globe in 2010.

Dirty Super Car - Get A Grip (The Loops Of Fury remix) [Dance 2 Dance Music]
The Loops of Fury are a brand new signing to U&A in 2009. Two Brisbane boys, previously known as Hyperion, reborn under a new banner, with a mighty sound that perfectly encapsulates their own personal ELECTRO-TECHNO Manifesto. Imagine the Chemical’s Battle Weapons mashed up with the turbo-charged drive of Marco Bailey or Brodinski capped off with the production skills of a Dyson or a Gartner and you’d be in the right ballpark for the Loops’ take-no-prisoners sound.
