About
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 the founder of The Gold Line, a collective and also a monthly event of the same name that ran for a year and 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.
After taking a hiatus to focus on other ventures, The Gold Line has resurfaced, helping to produce a monthly event called The Shakedown at Exchange LA in Downtown Los Angeles. The Gold Line is co-hosting the Rockefeller room on Volume 1, which is happening on Thursday, May 31st from 9 pm to 3 am.
Starting June 10th, CK is involved in a MASSIVE weekly venture at what is the newest and undoubtedly most talked about rooftop venue in Los Angeles: PERCH. House music has never graced this roof before, where CK will be the resident DJ combined with some heavy hitters in Los Angeles to pop the cherry and give DTLA a more than worthy alternative to The Standard for sunshine and beats on Sunday afternoons.
Get ready to ASCEND.
swanky

@subtleamuzement: glad you're diggin it, mang
@Heatesca: Steinberg is the man. I honestly can't think of a single back track he has ever made in 4 years of following the guy. Always a no-brainer buy.
lots of great moments here. love when you drop the Kerfunk & Andonis track and the last one is a perfect ender...will be picking that one up for sure.
@tatipimont: +1...need this track NOW
just getting around to listening to this mix. really diggin it, nice little drop right there.
@gotgrooves247: thank you!
@VINICIO M. & VINCENZO B.: much appreciated!
@aDJnamedCK: actually, oops, that's the Tiefshwarz track...soooo dope
@brandocommando: hell yes, that's the Fanciulli remix. glad you dig it, mang.
@subtleamuzement: totally. Jaar is some kind crazy musical prodigy.
saw this bad boy get thrown down in person...BC always brings the fuego!
This whole mix is just straight sillyness...can't believe how good it is. Unparalleled track selection start to finish. Something finally unseated the Maya Jane Coles EM as my go to house music for the foreseeable future.
@RobbieRob23: yeah man, this shit is ill. Nicolas Jaar is some kinda crazy prodigy.
@dosporuno: hahahaha. love it.
high quality dairy
THE VILLAGE JUST GOT LOOSE
this is about as classy as it gets. completely modern but with an old soul. the evolution of house music, in my opinion. this woman is a prodigy. i look forward to her entire career.
oh my goodness, I was there, this set was epic
NIIIIIIICE
filth. straight filth.
this is so dope
amazing marriage of vocals and production. this one should be massive!
when this track dropped on Thursday night at Bass Camp at Burning Man, I just about lost my mind
me too!
this is a sick set. love the deep, dark vibe, yet it still maintains a soul. nice one, dude.
the percussion work here is straight top-notch man. really really dig the driving bass you put together. super atmospheric. just straight DOPE&rt;
deeeeeeep. i like it man, got some nice texture to it.
@Throbber Baron: alright stop what your'e doin, cuz i'm about to ruin, the image and the style that you're used to
really really nice stuff here
this is the dirtiest, filthiest, most digusting music i have ever heard. i love it.
