Crisis (AKA Chris Scott) is one of the New Zealand dance scene’s best kept secrets. Since securing his first gig at the age of just 15; this rising star has set his home town of Christchurch, new home of Auckland, and the rest of NZ on fire with a distinct and irrefutable energy. Be it DJ sets, Production, or Event Promotion; Hard Dance, House or any of a multitude of other styles – Crisis is swiftly making a name for himself as one of Aotearoa’s premium purveyors of exciting dance music.

At 22, Crisis possesses a level of experience both in the DJ booth and the studio which belies his age; forged in the kinetic atmosphere of the Christchurch All Ages scene which he came to dominate before migrating north. While best known for his inimitable blend of UK Hard Dance, Full-On Psy, Trance and Techno; Crisis is also making a name for himself in House, of the Progressive, Tech and Electro varieties. To reign in his versatility, the common thread throughout all Crisis performances is an emphasis on high quality music and an insatiable need to surprise and ultimately satisfy dancefloors.

Chris also takes these values to the studio, where he is cooking some of the country’s freshest original tracks, remixes and session mixes. Since his first original release at the age of 17, the Crisis sound has been under constant renovation; with a raft of new material nearly ready to see the light in 2011.

This versatile artist splices influences and styles expertly to create unique, unpredictable and uplifting DJ sets and original tracks that are proving irresistible to clubbers everywhere. With energy and personality to burn, Crisis is committed to bringing crowds exciting dance music as they’ve never heard it before.
