ChrisK

Deeply involved in music at a very young age, Chris was influenced by a wide variety of musical genres and subgenres. though his tastes were shaped by his parents music (soul, rock, disco), Chris was searching for his own path and style. by age 12, he had been a part of a very successful band as a drummer, mainly playing covers of old rock, soul, salsa, and rock en Español. this may have narrowed his musical horizons temporarily, but he soon found that there was much more exploration to be done. as time progressed, so did Chris' musical tastes. although always a fan of rock, he craved freshness and diversity and began spending massive amounts of time and money on his aural obsession. his CD collection became affluent and extensive, covering a multitude of genres. in his teenage years, Chris was a part of the Los Angeles traditional ska scene (he hates ALL third wave ska punk/skacore crap, and isn't huge on two tone either). from here Chris discovered further what this music influenced; rocksteady, reggae, dub, and dancehall. heavily influenced by these styles of Jamaican music, he decided they were just what he'd been looking for. sometime around 1998, prior to abandoning the institution of state-sanctioned schooling, Chris had been introduced to the electronic music and rave culture. while the rave culture didn't sit well with him at first, the electronic bug was successfully planted. true to his roots in soul, he gravititated towards breakbeat-oriented forms of electronic music. upon hearing drum and bass, Chris couldn't quite pinpoint what he was hearing. before his exposure to the complex drum patterns and basslines that no human could replicate, he was just another organic music snob. he'd written off electronic music as not music at all but empty, soulless, programmed noise. he was proven wrong, and never looked back. in 1999 Chris began DJ'ing without an alias. as he had no real aspirations to make it as a DJ, he decided to play solely for himself. in the long run, it paid off. while he developed his talent, he came to know a great many faces in the scene and eventually realized that this was his only passion in life. in 2001, Chris experienced a few life-changing events that encouraged him to move forward and motivated him to capture his feelings audibly. the resulting mixes include a great many that will never be mentioned here, as they were never made available. he discovered that his emotions were best conveyed with sound, he continued to hone his skills and build his record collection until he'd found a sound he was satisfied with, albeit you'd never know from watching him shopping for tunes. Chris continues to push the boundaries of his art through continued releases and collaborations with relentless audio artists and the fourth level collective. his only goal is self-expression, which he pursues tirelessly.

After a couple years of paying dues in the opening slots, .Com and his wife Anaya decided it was time to establish a club that was based solely on local talent, Evolve was then born.

At the same time he also started promoting himself outside of Los Angeles and was getting bookings on the regular in Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Monterey, etc.. .Com was starting to get a lot of attention on his tracks from dj’s all over the United States. At this time some of the notable artists playing .Com dub plates and tunes would be: R.A.W., Dj. K, Oscar Da Grouch, U-Ome, Jayvon, Unit, Arson, Choppa, MK Ultra, The Punisher, Audio1, etc.. Now that .Com has taken the dive into production he has assumed the production alias of “Chaos In Motion”. You can find all of his current releases at www.raggarecords.com.
