Chris Carrier

Chris Carrier’s roots lie in Paris and the illegal warehouse raves of the early 1990s. His first EP appeared in 1994, while his early DJ practice ranged across techno, drum and bass, hip-hop turntablism and house. Record collecting took him beyond France to shops including Eight Ball in New York, Cisco in Japan and Mr. Bongo in London.

The Chronobrain label formed another part of those early years, with its records circulating through the French techno scene. Carrier worked for five years with its co-owner Guillaume la Tortue, whom his biography identifies as a mentor. Resident Advisor also lists Monsieur Georget among his aliases, another name within a recording life that began in the 1990s.
