About
C:O aka Chris Owlett- has been surrounded by music for as long as he can remember. Both parents owned and ran several independent record labels, Magnum Force, Lazer and Thunderbolt Records. They then moved into Vinyl Record manufacturing. Pressing up to 3million 12" per year, as well as 7", 10" and Picture discs vinyl. As an independent record pressing plant they pressed vinyl for the whole spectrum of the music scene from the majors labels BMG and WEA to the Independent labels of Factory Records, Jet Star, Metalheadz, Rough Trade, Moving Shadow, Trojan, Eastern Bloc, Trouble on Vinyl, XL, Good Looking, Formation, Splash, Joe Gibbs Music, Full Cycle, Knite Force, Prototype, Ganja Records and True Players to name a memorable handful.
By the time he reached 9 began to play drums. Played for many years and then later progressed onto Turntables…and hasn't stop since. Played on Pirate and Internet radio in and around London. Station such as Face, Pleasure, World and Flex FM. Played at and had Residencies at clubs all around London and the South West UK.
C:O's musical taste is very varied, being brought up on his fathers passionate Rock n Roll influences and his mothers very much openness to most music, paved the way for a strong love of a particular sound but keeping an open ear for other forms of music. Plus an older sister who's liking for Happy Hardcore, Drum and Bass Jungle, UKGarage and most importantly, Raves, is what opened his eyes to the proper world of Dance music.
Began to attend nights at the legendary The End Club in late 2003 in an almost religious manner. Nights like Renegade Hardware, Ram Records, Marky and Friends, FWD, Swerve and Shogun Audio. The Club and the nights made a massive impact on his life and his love of music.. Studied at ACM in Guildford, learnt the ways of Logic and since then has started to craft his own music…
