About Chris:
With an iconic career spanning over three decades, very few artists have made the impression on the electronic music scene like the former NYC-based Chris Irvin, now based in Denver.
A staple in the underground house scene since 1992, Irvin has fabricated his signature sound over decades and in legendary venues from coastto coast, including countless headline appearances and monthly residencies at iconic clubs like Limelight and Tunnel in New York City, Burning Man, and San Franciso’s Public Works, Great Northern and Monarch. Considered a Mile High City legend, Irvin commands the booth at every turn, whether that’s at home in Denver or clubs in NYC, LA, Miami, Dallas or Tulum.
Chris started his music production journey in the heart of NYC in 2000, releasing his first dance floor anthem, “Do You Miss Me,” on Terraform Records in 2003 with co-producer Doug Cavender. It received instant international praise. Since then he has shared the stage with some of the best in the business, such as Danny Tenaglia, Steve Bug, Paul Oakenfold, John Acquaviva to name a few.
The talent of Chris Irvin is only superseded by his infectious personality, sheer love for music and a continual drive to etch his sound into the hearts of festival goers, clubbers and ravers all over the planet.
