Christopher K. Nelson (aka CK, aDJnamedCK) has been hopelessly obsessed with 4/4 beats and DJ culture since he first heard Mistress Barbara destroy a little place called Babylon in Greensboro, North Carolina way back in 1998. And while the likes of Roger Sanchez, Danny Tenaglia and Sasha & Digweed were the gateway drugs into dance music for CK, it wasn’t until spending some time in LA and hearing Doc Martin, Marques Wyatt, and Mark Farina throw down those luscious, early 00’s house tunes that the music solidified a lifelong grip on his psyche. Combine all of those early influences and you have a techno/tech-house DJ with soul, a DJ who has equal amounts of love for a driving bassline as he does for some warm chords.

He is now one yar into throwing a party called The Gold Line (facebook.com/thegoldline), which has featured such artists as Filthy Rich, DVS1, Worthy, Drumcell, Audio Injection, Raiz, Droog, Audrey Napoleon, Darius Aleksandar, Jorge Medina, Joe Bickle, No Thing, Mark Faicol, and Joshua Garcia, along with residents Danielsan and Serrano...and we're just getting warmed up.
