CHEMTRAILZ

My boy Chemtrailz stopped by today and dropped an banging set at the studio.
Heres the full recorded set.
Cutting his teeth on California’s legendary thumping warehouses and desert raves, Chemtrailz has
worked hard to become the underground sensation he is today. A master horticulturist for well over 15
years, the American artist has cultivated a deep, hard, h
igh energy sound to create a vibrant voyage that
sets dancefloors aflame.
Starting out as a raver in 2004

2008 in the “golden era” of trance in Austin, Texas, Chris traveled to
Europe to discover the roots of the rave. Immersing himself in Europe’s underg
round dub and bass scene
along with Miami’s WMC and UMF offerings, he quickly became inspired to switch from his rap music
background to techno and trance.
The seeds had been planted, taking the plunge into audio school and receiving his audio engineering
certifications in the following years. Chris began releasing in 2011 under various aliases and won a
massive remix contest in 2012, receiving support from the esteemed Todd Terry. After further honing his
craft and exploring other genres such as trance, p
sy and progressive while spending a whopping 15k+
hours in the studio, He couldn’t help but return to his techno origins.
Starting in 2018, the Chemtrailz project began, blooming with a number of successful EPs and singles on
top labels such as EXHALE, Vo
xnox, CLTX’s TX Records, The Finest Techno, Suara, ODD, Autektone
Dark, and Fatima Hajji’s Silver M. In 2020, his artistry broke through the noise winning a highly

scene. He’s gone on to win other contests, including a single on Voxnox premiered on HATE alongside
Alignment in 2022.
During the 2020 Lions Gat

proved to be the right move, adding to his collection of support from industry giants such as Amelie Lens,
Charlotte De Witte, Paula Temple, Rebekah, Volvox, Lorenzo Ragazini, Slam, El
len Allien, Raven, and
many more. Capturing the attention of Boiler Room, they featured him in their “Hard Dance” series in
2021, growing his name worldwide.
In May 2023 Chris turned a new page in his career with his single “The Future is Matriarchy” on A
melie
Lens’s Exhale VA004. With plans for a move soon to Europe, there is no ceiling for the Chemtrailz
project.
As one of the most exciting exports the US has to offer, Chemtrailz has become a trance
