Chris D

Hailing from Dublin and from an early age it was no wonder that Chris D would follow in his family’s deep musical background as both his grandparents were established working Jazz musicians. Chris D bought his first vinyl record at the age of 5 and then his first keyboard at the age of 6. His first big step into the world of music was at the age of ten when he was performing background vocals on records. His first DJing appearance was in 1984 on the hugely popular Radio Dublin, he was 13 at the time and was the youngest ever DJ on mainstream Irish pirate radio. His growing record collection at the time included the likes of Kraftwerk, Dépêche Mode, Visage, Herbie Hancock & Gary Newman. At the same time he was playing keyboards in a synth based band caIled ‘Moon Over Moscow’ who were regulars at the famous Baggot Inn and it was inevitable that Chris would somehow slide into the world of what we now know as dance music on its arrival.
Chris’s first big dance music gig was in McGonagles when he supported SL2 (On a Ragga Tip) and the rest is history. Not one for residencies Chris D would be found Dj’ing amongst the finest acts & DJ’s that dance music had to offer in legendary dance venues like The Kitchen, The Columbia Mills/The Waterfront, The Ormond Multi Media Centre, The Temple Theatre and also at many of the fabled underground parties, most noteably ‘The Garden of Eden’. Chris D would also be found behind the counter of the much loved ‘Outlaw Records’ record shop, and ran the first DJ’s rehearsal/recording studio in Dublin called ‘1 Cut’. Chris D has been at the centre of dance music in Ireland since its inception and has definitely earned himself the status of legend.
Chris D’s sets span all genres and his eclectic style of hard or soft, happy or dark, pianos or chainsaws will be sure to entertain you and ensure you will not be left sitting on your seat.
