- Glasgow based house music DJ and Producer. Live every Monday night on www.chicagohousefm.com with Craig Hamilton & Esteban Carracas.Chris Mac started DJ'ing in 2002 inspired by the Glasgow club scene where nights like Pressure @ the Arches, Subculture @ the Sub Club and Freelance Science, Relief and Fluid @ Alaska were seeing the likes of DJ Q, Silicone Soul, Slam, Lottie, Halo & Hipp-e jacking out deep techy west coast house in amazing venues. Already a seasoned clubber and a huge fan of DJ/Producers such as the H-Foundation, Derrick carter and DJ Sneak he soon wanted more after making an mp3 mix. After meeting with a crazy American known as Esteban Carracas he found someone just as nuts about house music as he was and who had a spare pair of belt drive turntables... The pair soon became DJ partners so they could warp everyone's fragile little minds at many a house party! The next few years saw him play in many pubs and clubs including Ufreak @ The Venue in Edinburgh and The Soundhaus, The Vault, Osmosis, Bar Bloc, The Halt Bar, the Library, O'Henry's basement and several large barn and tent parties. He has even done several home-town gigs in village halls on the Isle of Arran where the crowd is as crazy as anything in the big cities. 2005 was a great year as Chris & Esteban impressed enough to get a fortnightly residency at Bar Ten. Then after meeting Craig 'Jack Daddy' Hamilton (Control, Kolour, Greenhouse) who hosted Static on Radio Magnetic, Chris made his live debut on air. The pair hit it off having the same tastes in House music, both having come from Techno backgrounds, and along with Esteban the trio began Chi-Town Baby! @ Basura Blanca in Glasgow, a night with an emphasis on the best US and European House sounds. In 2006 Chris, Esteban & Craig hosted Troydon (Nightshift, Drop Music, Grab) at the Soundhaus for his UK Debut while other guests included Slum Science (Hudd Traxx), Leon Knowles (Choice, MOS Radio) and Fraid So (Greenhouse Recordings) as Chi-Town Baby became one of few places you could still hear underground house music at the time with Electro having taken over at a lot of venues. For 3 years Chris & Esteban somehow found the time to run their own diverse club night - Audio Ice Cream at Glasgow Uni Post Grad Club. With an anything goes music policy, provided you can dance to it and the night builds up in intensity! Guests such as Mellow Sub Machine, Green Sofa DJ's (Subcity Radio), Jamie Young (Cotton Cake), Suburban Funk Command and Dub Sporadic have all had the place jumping along with many local DJ's showcasing a range of styles from Funk, Soul, Disco, Indie, Rock, Dub, House, Electro and Techno. Boom Monk Ben (Mixed Bizness) and Full Phat (Obese) recently rocked the place. Audio Ice Cream finished it's regular spot at the Hetherington Research Club in March 2008 but will continue to hold the occasional one-off events like at the Black Sparrow in December 2008. Recent gigs from 2009 onwards have seen Chris playing @ Fiasco in Glasgow with the likes of Chuck Daniels, Inland Knights, Soydan, Tommy Largo, Giom, DJ Jaya, Frazer Devine and resident ED FM. Solo production work and collaborations with Craig and Esteban have been picked up by Lingo, Craig's quality Glasgow label Flatpack Traxx and more recently HuHu Music.
