Biografía
- Chris Salt is a melodic techno, progressive and breakbeat DJ, producer and remixer with releases on Vector Space, Precinct, Lost Language, Silver Planet, Kickin, EMI, Hooj & Algorhythm and tour dates from Tokyo, Shanghai, Amsterdam to London and New York.Just a month after signing his first record deal in 2003, Chris kicked off a DJ set in Tokyo, playing the first Saturday night at a prestigious new club in the heart of Shibuya. The night before, Chris had handed a white-label promo of ‘Dub Sonar’ to none other than renowned house DJ Satoshi Tomiie. Taking place on Chris’ 23rd birthday, his set was so well received that the promoters rebooked him two months later. Back home, the hype surrounding Chris’ productions and projects continued to grow. ‘Dub Sonar’ had received high profile DJ support from Nick Warren, Quivver, Slacker and Sander Kleinenberg, and the dance press sat up and took notice. The first single received great reviews in DJ mag, IDJ, DMC Update and M8, and a full page feature in M8 magazine followed soon after. Chris’ growing reputation as a prominent producer was solidified further with his remix of Flash Brothers’ ‘Ways’, which again received high profile DJ support from Sasha and further good press in DJ mag and M8 magazine, and the remix even topped the influential Hooj.com weekly chart. By this stage Silver Planet had asked Chris to compile and mix their third installment of the Fear series, following in the footsteps of James Holden and the Flash Brothers. The Fear 3 mix compilation was released on the anniversary of his first gig in Tokyo, achieving critical acclaim with the dance press declaring it an outstanding achievement and the best in the series. The release was promoted with a DJ tour spanning several UK dates and international bookings in Poland and Turkey. This also coincided with Silver Planet’s 50th release, which featured the Luke Chable remix of ‘Dub Sonar’ and Chris’ remix of Main Element’s ‘Delta Of Venus’. DJ support came from John Digweed, Kiss FM’s Steve Smart and Nick Warren, who charted it at number two. Chris’ second single, ‘Atmospheric Graffiti’ (debuted at his first gig in Tokyo), was picked up by Anthony Pappa for his Balance 006 compilation. Nick Warren declared it his tune of 2004 and Paul Van Dyk also supported it. Another mix compilation followed – ‘Future House’ on Kickin’ Records, receiving further good press and distribution deals from major players Universal and JVC. An international DJ tour to promote the release included dates at The Bomb in Nottingham, Turnmills in London, London Calling @ Earl’s Court and DJ sets in Shanghai, Amsterdam, Prague, Istanbul and Ankara. Silver Planet then signed Chris’ first artist album, ‘No Surrender’, which was released following new singles ‘Endgame’ and ‘Ik Ben Terug’. Support for the tracks and remixes came from Nick Warren, James Zabiela, Jody Wisternoff and Hybrid, and the dance press gave it strong reviews – DMC Update gave the album 4/5 and DJ Mag covered the singles. Having played alongside Jody Wisternoff, Hybrid, Lexicon Avenue, Phil K, Slacker and Andy Moor, with headline DJ sets in nine different countries and a 3 year DJ residency at London’s renowned Electronic Sessions, Chris is now making a welcome return to the scene, with tracks on Precinct and Lost Language, a remix of Jan Johnston’s Flesh and a new record label – Vector Space Recordings.̸Artist Albums: Chris Salt – No Surrender [Silver Planet] 2009 Mix Compilations: Chris Salt Presents Fear 3 [Silver Planet] 2004 Chris Salt Presents Future House [Kickin Records] 2005 Original Tracks – Single Releases: Chris Salt - Vector Space (Original Mix / 4am Mix) [Vector Space Recordings] 2020 Chris Salt - 200 Hz (Original Mix / 4am Mix) [Precinct Recordings] 2018 Chris Salt – Ik Ben Terug (Original Mix / Pocketwatchers Remix) [Silver Planet] 2009 Chris Salt – Endgame (Tyrell Remix / Original Mix) [Silver Planet] 2009 Chris Salt – Dub Sonar / Distorted Reality [Silver Planet] 2003 Chris Salt – Atmospheric Graffiti (Original Mix / Aidan Lavelle Remix) [Silver Planet] 2004 Chris Salt – Dub Sonar (Luke Chable Remix) [Silver Planet 50th Release] 2004 Chris Salt – Undertow [Secret Planet] 2003 Remixes – 12″/CD Releases: Jan Johnston - Flesh (Chris Salt Remix) [Solar Storm] 2019 Ariscan - Amberfall (Chris Salt Remix) [Lost Language] 2019 Flash Brothers – Ways (Chris Salt’s Blissed Out Breaks Remix) [Silver Planet, Fear 3] 2004 Main Element – Delta Of Venus (Chris Salt Remix) [Silver Planet, Balance 006, Fear 3] 2004 Vector 13 – GHLIS (Chris Salt’s Faith Restoration Remix) [Algorhythm] 2004 Katcha – Touched By God (Chris Salt Remix) [Release Records] 2004 Calanit – Sculptured (Chris Salt Remixes: Radio Mix / Extended Mix / Dub Mix) [EMI/Couture] Jonny 20 feat.
