On this CD single
we have gathered the strongest tracks from the recent two singles by Chris
Pointdexter.
Chris Poindexter
is the progressive project from Christer Gustafsson. Christer is living
in Malmoe, the Swedish city that has spawned names such as Son Kite and
Ticon, but is originally from Arvika. He has a long history of productions
and has released under a dozen different pseudonyms. Christer started
to listen to electronic music in the late eighties and he was spending
all his money buying records, something that introduced him to dj-ing.
He continued spinning in clubs and radio all over Sweden and gradually
had some releases together with other techno and trance producers in the
mid-nineties. In 1998 he decided that he wanted to create his own sound
and get more into house. Christer has today become a multi talented producer
specialised in making dance floor anthems, commercial house for radio
as well as clubs. He has a real gift for turning pop songs into massive
club classics. Adding to his dj-ing skills, he is also a brilliant live
act and has been playing at various festivals in Sweden.
One of his hits Black Pony that was released on Edel in Scandinavia, touched
No 7 in the charts and stayed for 15 weeks in the Swedish dance chart.
It has also been signed to DJ Antoine's Egoiste label. Furthermore, Christer
has recently signed a single to Eric Morillo's Subliminal which will be
out during this year. Expect big support from all the big players.
Even though being
a talented house producer, the Chris Pointdexter alias is set up for his
tougher productions. Tribal Thing and Darkness are acid driven hard progressive
house tracks that are compatible with both our Spiral Trax and ACDC releases.
They have already gained support from DJs such as Anthony Pappa, Marco
V and Armin van Buuren.
Ticon probably
needs no further presentation. They are no doubt Sweden’s biggest
progressive trance export after Atmos and Son Kite also the ones behind
a row of massive singles and a successful debut album. Their productions
have been released on labels such as Digital Structures, Transient, Surround
Sounds, Dragonfly and Hadshot Haheizar. They are also keeping themselves
busy producing under their progressive house moniker, New Disco Science
Alliance (NDSA), as well as a downbeat and a pop project. They are also
an extremely popular live act that is constantly touring festivals and
parties all over the world.
