CHRIS DRIFTER - Dj/Producer/A&R Manager

Krisztian Gabor aka Chris Drifter from Budapest, Hungary was always interested in electronic dance music. As a Child his love for music grew out of listening to his fathers vinyl collection & collecting all sorts of music throughout the years. In 1996, taken to a house party by a friend, Chris took a major interest in electronic music. By 1999 he solidifies his skills as a Progressive and Electro house DJ. Also venturing into Tech-house and minimal, Chris played in small parties or event that he himself organized. In April 2005 invited to in an Alfa Romeo-Honda car summit, he spun his music throughout the duration of the in event in front of 1,000 people, being one of his major experiences in his career after which earned him a residency on Pressure Radio every Friday night. In 2008 he was invited to spin in Russia, which earned him another invitation yet to be confirmed for late in 2008.
Throughout the years Chris has learned to work the crowds allowing them to experience his passions and emotions, connecting their senses and evolving the party to a level of blissful experience for one and all in attendance.
Featured in several net Radio Shows such as: JustMusic.fm, Galaxie.fm, Inside.fm, rautemuzik.fm, radiodeepsounds.com, friskyRadio, just to name a few has allowed him to create enough credibility to start his own show on Pure.fm called SoundTribe Sessions, which is broadcasted twice a month and features guest appearances by the worlds greatest talents.
Furthermore, for Chris the production aspect of the industry is as important as working the crowd in a party or event. He has several Productions under several prestigious labels such as SoundTribe Rekords, Existence Records, and most recently his 2008 Blue Room EP under Plastic Fantastic, expected to do well in the house charts as the previous tracks Panned Emotions & Diego Mongelos' Ghost in the Sea (Chris Drifter Remix)
In the beginning of 2007 Chris began working for SoundTribe Rekords as the A&R Manager, putting him in charge of managing the whole music side of the label, controlling promotions and releases.
In 2008 Christ Drifter Joined forces with several other Hungarian DJ's and Producers to form Bitseque. This group is formed by the talented Hungarian Duo's Faces & Moti Brothers, along with DJ/Producer DownKill.

In 2009 Chris won a remix competition where he made a successful remake of a track called "Drift Away".
