In the summer of 1999 while living in London, Canadian DJ and House producer Christian Alvarez discovered what would turn out to be his greatest passion in life - House Music. Exposed to the world's mecca of club culture Christian's fascination with DJing was instantaneous. A son of a Latin musician who was inspired by funk, soul, disco and pop, Christian's musicality had developed at an early age. In 2000 Christian began Djing; selecting records which were inspired by his roots creating his signature sound of uplifting Funky House.
In 2002, Christian began his work in the studio. Since then he has compiled an impressive discography, which includes more than sixty original and remix productions on labels such as Salted Music, Farplane, Shifted Music, Gossip, Duffnote, One51, Stoneyboy, Born to Dance, Eyezcream, Illegal Beats, Thaisoul, Diamondhouse, Hermosa, SoulHeat and many more.
Whether you prefer his hard hitting, funky club cuts, or his deeper, soulful grooves, international superstar DJs’ such as Roger S, Kaskade, Miguel Migs, Dj Sneak, Mark Farina, Jay-J, Roy Davis Jr, Grant Nelson, Andy Ward, Hardsoul, StoneBridge, Steve Angello and many more have supported his music over the years. Having remixed artists such as StoneBridge, Kid Creme, Rasmus Faber, Tom De Neef, Jay-J, Jask and Kid Massive, to name a few, Christian’s has proven his diversity as an artist. Both his original and remix productions have made their way on several CD compilations including industry heavyweights Hed Kandi, Ministry of Sound, Bargrooves, Armada Music and more.
As a DJ, Christian has performed all over the world. Rocking clubs from San Fran to Miami, Zurich to St. Petersburg, his unique flavour of soulful, yet bumping House music has left clubbers shaking their booties until the morning light. In 2007 he recorded his first mixed CD entitled, “VIP”, which featured releases from his own Delecto including artists such as Born to Funk, Stereo Mutants, Justin Michael, MoD and more. The CD was featured at the 2007 WMC and was soon released in music stores across the globe.
Now a sought after producer and owner of his own imprint, Delecto Recordings, Christian continues to cement his place in the world of Canadian House music. 2010 has already seen the release of his most popular single to date, “The Way” licensed to Miguel Migs’s Salted Music. He also recently released “Hands in the Air” on Diamondhouse Records, which featured a speaker-rumbling remix by The Good Guys that has received massive support all over the world. With more original and remix productions forthcoming on Salted Music, Shifted Music, SoulHeat, Delecto and more, Christian appears busier than ever, which is just the way you likes it.
