Rod B. & Alvaro Garfunk bring you the Miami Underground Movement
While many people may claim to know Chris’ sound, with their focus
on continually labeling him one thing or another, Chris is equally as
focused on his efforts to push back the musical boundaries. It is
testament to the man that he continues to develop his sound and musical
direction, after all, as the man says himself “I just like to play good
underground music, I don’t limit myself.”
It is artists such as Chris Fortier who are inextricably linked to
the underground dance music scene that are the genuinely pushing the
sound forward. Chris’ determination to continue to push the envelope
can be seen in all aspects of his career. Proof of this can be found on
his recent triple CD compilation Balance and his recent solo production
under the 40oz moniker and his stellar debut artist album As Long As
The Moment Exits.
The Balance CD genuinely offers something exciting and underground
to the current stale compilation market. Boasting tracks from across
the musical spectrum like David Gilmore Girls, Global Communication and
Floppy Sounds through to Slam, Matthew Jonson, Rabbit in the Moon and
Bent. It is little wonder the CD was name checked for compilation of
the year by numerous international press publications.
Under his 40oz production guise Chris has released the several EPs
that musically could fit comfortably on labels such as Cocoon, Kompakt
or Get Physical. Further remixes of Alexi Delano, Joshua Collins, Lee
Burridge, Freaky Chakra and John Selway show Chris’ genre defying sound
at it’s underground best. Taking this a step further in 2007, his debut
artist album was released to countless plaudits and impeccable praise.
Not satisfied with status quo, look for the boundaries to continue to
be pressed and pushed with each coming musical excursion.
With a DJ career spanning 15 plus years, he has continually been a
crowd favourite, confirmed by his very first residency at the legendary
“Aahz” in Orlando through to more recent residencies at The Cross in
London and at Twilo in New York. Since a debut European tour in 1997,
Chris has gone on to consistently tour the globe behind numerous
singles, remixes and no less than 9 mix albums. You can catch him as
easily in Tokyo as in Buenos Aires and all points in between on any
given weekend.
To those that know Fortier’s history, they know to expect plenty
more to come, for those that are just getting initiated, Welcome!
Special Thanks to Mr Chris Fortier.
