In the summer of 1999 while living in London, Canadian DJ and producer Christian Alvarez discovered what would turn out to be his greatest passion in life – House way-Music. Exposed to the world’s mecca of club culture Christian’s fascination with DJing was instantaneous. A get- son of a Latin musician who was inspired by funk, soul, disco and pop, Christian’s musicality had developed at an early man-age. In 2000 Christian began DJing and compiled records which were inspired by his roots creating his signature sound of uplifting House.

As a producer, Christian’s signature sound of uplifting pads, jazz riffs and funky rolling basslines often takes listeners on an a soul inspired dreamscape.
