Darkbeat & Pretty Simple pres CHRIS FORTIER 3 HOUR SET , Sat Jan 26, Ffour
Darkbeat & Pretty Simple presents CHRIS FORTIER
On the night of Australia Day 2008, we present one of our favourite guests, Chris Fortier.
In the day of blurred genres and sound boundaries, Chris Fortier represents every thing good music is about - longevity and substance. When it comes to deep, rollin and entertaining music , Fortier comes correct.
Any one who wintessed Fortier in Melbourne for our very first day party in 2006 at Brown Alley will remember 3 hours of the most intelligent , well programmed deep tech house, minimal, techno and progressive we have ever had at Darkbeat over the last 4 years.
So to say we are excited to have him back is an understatement, and to label him is almost impossible , however one thing we do know is that the man will excel in the Darkbeat / Pretty Simple environment. Do not expect predictable records !
Chris Fortier Biography
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 7 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!
