Chriss - Horváth Krisztián - was born on 26th of October, 1977 in Budapest. The thought of playing music came at an early age, he built his career step by step, working hard.

He made an entrance behind the turntables as early as 1994 and has been a frequent guest of the best clubs of Hungary. In 1997 Club Korona became the official stage of BPM ( Booking Promotion Management ) and Global Underground Management which meant performances of Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman and similar well-known names. Krisztián was resident here so he had the honor to be warm-up DJ at all events. The mix album of Nick Warren - Global Underground from Hungary - was recorded here as well. This made the club well-known on the international stage. In 2001 BPM and GU moved to HOME in Budapest where Krisztián could play next to the best ones. Soon he got invitations from abroad.

He played at Love Parade in Berlin, at the Creamfields, Summer of Love and Hradhouse festivals of Prague just as in almost all of the neighbouring countries. On July the 26th he was invited to one of London's superclubs, The Cross to an event called Renaissance night. It was there that one of Britain's most prestigious magazines, MIXMAG interviewed the young talent. This was followed by appraisal on the Dutch site www.xpander.nl . The first invitation to Tokyo came to Anthony Pappa's Global Underground debut party. He has been a regular guest in Tokyo and Osaka since then. In 2003 his first mix CD is published called Directions. Shortly after he founds THE QUASAR with his friend Ritchie. Their first track Together is played in John Digweed's radio show on Kiss 100.

In 2005 his new maxi Cd and vinyl October is published which brings acclaimed fame. It enters John Digweed's and Hernan Cattaneo's hit list and is also played in three different versions in Digweed's Kiss 100 Radio Show. Hernan played it at Metro Dance and it is liked by names like Dave Seaman, Anthony Pappa, Desin Masyello to mention but a few. This track was made into a video, was played at VIVA television.

In this year he was voted again to best Dj and producer at Hungary, Live and World Beach was 2nd shortly after its release.

Chriss represents a unique music style, his sets have no comparison. His style could be described as house, epic-house, tribal at times, but he is just as familiar with tech. It makes no difference if he makes a warm-up or a full time performance, his play's characteristics are always quality and exclusiveness, creating an incomparable atmosphere in any party he performs at. .
