Tracklisting:
A1 Chrissy - You Don't Have To Worry
A2 Chrissy - Assure Us There's A Heaven
B1 Chrissy - All These Dreams
B2 Chrissy - If I Could

Release Note:
Party-starter Chrissy joins the Shall Not Fade family with a 4-track serotonin hit which draws on influences from his San Franciscan heritage, as well as those closer to home in the UK.

'You Don't Have To Worry' encompasses this fusion, with anthemic piano chords and uplifting vocals that enliven a swung breaks instrumental. 'Assure Us There's A Heaven' and 'If I Could' also come with plenty of swing, borrowing tropes from UK Funky to show house at its most danceable, whilst 'All These Dreams' is a modern take on old school vocal house.

For Hooversound’s ninth release, SHERELLE and NAINA welcome San Francisco-based DJ and producer Chrissy to the family for the label’s debut album release. Coming out on the 27th October, ‘Physical Release’ blends elements of ravey techno, house, and jungle that have run through his previous work. The final result is an exploration of what our scene’s physical spaces mean and how they feed into themes of politics, family, connection and joy. Speaking about the album Chrissy says, ??"These songs were inspired by our scene's physical spaces: the warehouses, clubs, record stores, late night cafes, lofts, and friends' living rooms that let us connect to each other, experience the joy and wonder of dance music culture, and find our family. I've seen these spaces gradually decimated by cops, property developers, cynical corporate brand partners, irresponsible promoters, and a global pandemic. The end result is a dance music culture that feels more online and disconnected, culminating in over a year without any physically shared spaces. Encouragingly, I've seen many in our community finally acknowledge a painful reality: our scene has failed to live up to its utopian ideals, and to protect, value, and uplift all of our peers. No matter how fondly we remember our first raves, the culture was and is broken, and it's our job to fix it. So while this album may feel like a paean to a bygone era, it is more a reflection of optimism about the future: a hope that we can rebuild our scene and our communal physical spaces with better priorities and better values, so that everybody can experience the euphoria, joy, transcendence, and physical release of the dancefloor." The album opens with a quote from artist, author, and transgender activist Edie Fake, who also designed the artwork for ‘Physical Release’. A fellow Chicago-to-California transplant, Edie’s previous work has dealt largely with physical spaces, including historical queer nightlife spaces.

A1 - Clap Yr Hands
A2 - Give U XTC
B1 - Give U XTC (Baronhawk Poitier Remix)
B2 - Clap Yr Hands (Nightwave Remix)

Chrissy's Cool Ranch label is back with another pair of house stormers backed by two fantastic remixes.

'Clap Yr Hands' channels '90s speed garage vibes via Chicago disco house, and 'Give U XTC' is a dark drummy bass workout with a chopped-up vocal. Rising star Baronhawk Poitier (Honey Soundsystem Records, The NeedlExchange) and Glasgow-based scene leader Nightwave (Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Balkan Vinyl, Dext) both turn in amazing, dark, deconstructed remixes to round out the package.


Previous Cool Ranch releases have been supported by Honey Soundsystem, The Blessed Madonna, Tim Sweeney, Luke Solomon, Derrick Darter, Jimpster, Soul Clap, Project Pablo, Zernell, Danny Tenaglia, The Martinez Brothers, Alison Swing, Parris Mitchell, Shaun J Wright, DJ Deeon, Mark Farina, Jubilee, and more.

17 Steps present ‘New Atlantis’, a 5 track EP from versatile DJ, producer and dance music historian Chrissy. The EP takes its name from an unexpected source – a 17th century utopian novel of the same name by Sir Francis Bacon, depicting a future society in which science has become the ruling principle. It’s an inspiring idea for Chrissy – an antidote to the assault on truth and intellectualism led by climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, creationists, unfit-for-office demagogues and the slow suffocation of fact-based journalism. ‘New Atlantis’ explores the utopian worldview implicit in early rave music, drawing on classic Chicago house, UK hardcore and Drexciyan electro. The result is a collection of jacking breaks and bass infused dance music washed with a bittersweet euphoria – celebrating and lamenting an era’s forgotten optimism.A1. In Paradise, A2.

We’re excited to be joined by one of the most versatile and knowledgeable DJ producers on the planet. Hailing from Chicago, Chrissy’s expertise knows no bounds and stylistically there’s few hats he won’t don, with productions appearing on labels as diverse as Planet Mu, Classic and Hypercolour to name a few. For his debut on Super Rhythm Trax his wings remain characteristically unclipped as the tone veers from the massive Acid wall of ’Truth Bomb’ (built upon an acappella from a house legend) through the ghostly dubbed out ‘Stumble’ to the anthemic house of ‘We’re Movin’ before finally resting on the 21st century New Beat of ’24 Hour Puppy People’ .
’Truth Bomb’ is exclusive to the Vinyl only. Digital versions will contain a version with different vocals.

r fourth year as a label, we welcome San Francisco based Chrissy to the Dansu Discs family for DSD017. He specialises in rave-influenced sounds, Chicago house, and disco, but his 20-year career has ranged from jungle to footwork to freestyle (he literally has it all!). His strong reputation as a ‘genre bending’ producer is one that is fully deserved and he proves just that in this record. On the B side we welcome back Soundbwoy Killah and Denham Audio, both providing a killer remix to top off one of our most exciting projects yet.
