CRISTOPH INVITES US TO EXPERIENCE ‘LIFE THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS,’ HIS NEW ARTIST ALBUM OUT NOW!

At the risk of creating something spectacular, Cristoph set upon a vision to release a debut artist album that truly captures the essence of dusk ‘til dawn clubbing. The result is an 18-track escapade of extended mixes designed to emulate the journey of an open-to-close DJ set. Inviting listeners to leave reality at the door and experience Life Through A Different Lens. Out now on Consequence of Society Recordings.

Mirroring the ebbs and flows, peaks and drops, of a real-time DJ set, Life Through A Different Lens calls to be played in chronological order for maximum impact. Which at its core, is the mastery of Life Through A Different Lens. The track list moves in key and seamlessly harmonises, yet each record holds its own sonic identity spanning the full breadth of house, techno. A process which Cristoph credits in forcing him to challenge his own perception in his approach to music production. 

Opening track ‘See Me Now’ features the soft lyricism of Afnan Prince over empowering keys that soon succumb to a steady house beat. Transitioning into ‘A New Chapter’ featuring MANNY and soon followedby debut album single ‘String Thing.’

Curated on Cristoph’s own COS Recordings he takes full liberty in scouring the label’s ever-growing community of cutting-edge artists to form meaningful collaborations. The likes of which are heard on dystopian dance number ‘Surrender’ feat. Luke Coulson, Harry Diamond hook-up ‘Raise The Alarm,’ and ‘Fractual’ with ADZ.

Preparing the listener to enter peak time, Cristoph unites with long-standing collaborator Jem Cooke on progressive powerhouse ‘Paradise’ and demonstrates his signature clean-cut production intent on inflicting pure rapture on the club dancefloor.

Now in the thick of the 18-record track list, Cristoph’s sense of experimentation exploits even further. Tech-dubbed ‘Cicada’ carries industrial attitude yet borrows its intricate mood-shifting effects from samples Cristoph recorded of the insect in which the track is named after. Dark undercurrents continue into minimal mover ‘Set The Scene’ before ‘Redwood’ with Weska readies the sense to be heightened once again.

Lasting impressions come from album single ‘Where Do We Go’ and ‘Looks Like I’m Waiting’ with CultureKind, feat. Afnan Prince, as Cristoph closes out the LP on final notes of dark etherealism.

Cristoph’s mass appeal unsurprisingly transfers directly onto the dancefloor. Coinciding with the new album, Cristoph’s highly anticipated O2C North America and Canada tour of exclusively open-to-close shows commences in Toronto, 11^th April. With top cities Chicago, Detroit, New York in the dates that follow. Inviting fans to quite literally leave reality at the door, venture into a dark club room of like-minded beings and take a journey into the depths of soul-led electronic music.
