DISCOGRAPHY:

Mind Over Matter (MOM) Records launched in July 97, a collaboration between Chris and Alphamagic Music in London. The label’s policy was to release quality Hard House & Trance material with the first single being Chris’s own ‘The Third Stroke’ b/w ‘White Wolf’ (in acknowledgement of the party organisation in Zurich which gave Chris his European break). Chris has also recorded with DJ M-Zone as ‘GANESH’, with Rob Vanden & D-Zine as ‘TRIPSWITCH’, with DJ’s Fade & Bananaman as ‘MANY MORE’, as 'BEN SEBANELLI', 'A10' with Steve Knight, 'BEATNIQZ' with Jon Doe, with Billy 'Daniel' Bunter as 'TASTY' , with Madam Zu and Mik Cree as ‘NEW BEATNIQZ’, ‘THE MYSTERONS’ and also under his own name. 

MOM’s sister label ‘MOHAWK’ launched in September of 1998 and concentrated more on the ‘pumping’ style of NRG-House music though, like MOM, retaining its own distinctive sound and style. A third marque, AZTEC, launched in Autumn 99, to run in parallel with Mohawk and replacing MOM which ceased output at the same time. Additionally, 2 further labels ‘NILE’ and ‘PIRATE WAX’ were launched in July 2000 and November 2001 respectively (the former being transferred to Madam Zu to run in February 2001, the latter ceasing operations in July 2002).

Chris parted company with Alphamagic in the summer of 2002 to expand his horizons and concentrate on new independent projects, including the launch of his new label ‘APACHE’ in November of that year. MOM re-launched in April 2003 as MOM2 Records, distributed (like Apache) through the Nu Energy Collective (www.nuenergy.co.uk). He launched a new collaborative project, Falcon Music, with Madam Zu in 2004 to market new tracks that both of them produced with rising star and engineer Ben Kaye (of Tidy Trax fame).
