Remember it!! │█│ │█│·─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────·│█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ Steeped in a background of learning his craft through long sets │█│ │█│ at his various residencies during his days in Central Florida and │█│ │█│ later at Twilo in New York , Chris is an old school dj in the │█│ │█│ truest sense of the word. He has learnt his craft in a way that │█│ │█│ few DJs can boast. Very few of today's headline DJ's can say they │█│ │█│ know how to build a night from nothing and create an atmosphere │█│ │█│ at any point in the nights festivities. However, Chris Fortier is │█│ │█│ one of the few that can. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ With the seemingly never-ending world tour still in effect from │█│ │█│ last year's release of the critically acclaimed ôBedrock: │█│ │█│ Compiled and Mixedö compilation, Chris is a headline act in his │█│ │█│ own right, he continues to travel to every corner of the globe in │█│ │█│ the last 12 months including residencies at The Cross in London │█│ │█│ and Plexi in New York. Chris is no longer a name just on the U.S. │█│ │█│ stage, but on the world stage. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ Even with being constantly on tour, Chris production career has │█│ │█│ never been healthier as he embarks on a solo career alongside his │█│ │█│ continuing work as Fade. The summer has seen the release of │█│ │█│ ôWhateveritisö a slice of big room house directed at those that │█│ │█│ choose to pidgeonhole every genre of dance music. The follow up, │█│ │█│ ôBelieveö has been road tested for the past few months while on │█│ │█│ tour and looks set for a release in the coming months, along with │█│ │█│ the unreleased ôLosing Waitö and remixes of Kristine W, Lovesky │█│ │█│ and PQM. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ Currently residing in New York , Chris' roots can be traced to │█│ │█│ the early nineties in Orlando , Florida , where he was spotted by │█│ │█│ DJ Icey and quickly thrown in by Kimball Collins as resident at │█│ │█│ the infamous "Aahz". These visionary and legendary nights served │█│ │█│ as a platform to bring Sasha and John Digweed to America for the │█│ │█│ first time, and establish an " Orlando " sound that would become │█│ │█│ synonymous with clubbers and DJs alike for years to come. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ As one of the pioneer DJ of the US circuit, Chris was one of the │█│ │█│ first to travel the country, playing in cities like Atlanta , │█│ │█│ Charlotte , Washington and Boston when they were in their │█│ │█│ infancy. This continued as new markets in Central America and │█│ │█│ Canada began to appear making him one of the most travelled DJs │█│ │█│ in the States. In 2000, after his move to New York , he joined │█│ │█│ the infamous Twilo as one of their residents, playing alongside │█│ │█│ Dave Seaman for the club's successful bi-monthly Saturday events. │█│ │█│ To support his constant touring, Chris was one of the first to │█│ │█│ release a compilation CD in the States, a typically original move │█│ │█│ at the time and has realised five more in the space of the last │█│ │█│ six years. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ Keen to build the production side of his career, Chris started │█│ │█│ Fade Records in 1995 and released his first double A sided single │█│ │█│ ôFor All the People/ All I Gotö under the production name of Fade │█│ │█│ with his one time surf competitor, Neil Kolo. The Fade sound │█│ │█│ quickly defined the era and the fashionable progressive Orlando │█│ │█│ sound. A long-term record deal from the UK and remixes for BT, │█│ │█│ Sam Mollison, Space Brothers, and Future Force followed over the │█│ │█│ next few years. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ In 1998 while submitting a Sarah Mclachlan bootleg of ôPlentyö │█│ │█│ (which was subsequently released in 2001) to her record label, │█│ │█│ Chris was offered a remix of a Delerium track called ôSilenceö. │█│ │█│ The remix created a frenzy with such limited quantities being │█│ │█│ pressed by the label. Eventually succumbing to the demands of the │█│ │█│ general public after it's inclusion on Northern Exposure 3, and │█│ │█│ the buzz it created with DJs like Dave Seaman and Sasha opening │█│ │█│ and closing their sets with it, the label released it to discover │█│ │█│ a worldwide chart hit, with it hitting number one in four │█│ │█│ countries including Australia. │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│ │█│·─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────·│█│ │█└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘█│ │▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────·· · │ │ │ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█████████████████████████████│ █ · ···───[ g r o u p ─ i n f o ]───────··· · ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█│ █┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐█│ █│" │█│ █│ In the beginning, there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. │█│ █│ And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. │█│ █│ And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly │█│ █│ declared,Let there be House! And House music was born. │█│ █│ I am, you see. I am the creator. And this is my House. │█│ █│ And in my House there is only House music. │█│ █│ But I am not so selfish, because once you've entered my House, │█│ █│ it then becomes our House, and our House music. And you see, │█│ █│ no one man owns House, because house music is a universal language │█│ █│ spoke and understood by all. You see, House is a feeling, that no one │█│ █│ can understand really, unless you're deep into the vibe of House. │█│ █│ House is an uncontrollable desire to Jack your body. And as I told │█│ █│ ya before, this is our house, and our House music. And in every house │█│ █│ you understand,there is a keeper. And in this house the keeper is │█│ █│ Jack. Now some of you might wonder, │█│ █│ who is Jack and what is it that Jack does? │█│ █│ Jack is the one who gives you the power to Jack your body. │█│ █│ Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake. │█│ █│ Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly world. │█│ █│ Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body. │█│ █│ Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers │█│ █│ together under one house. │█│ █│ You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew, or Gentile. │█│ █│ It don't make a difference in our house.
