Long bio

~250 words

Chris Taylor is a Cape Town based DJ who has carved his name into the South African dance music scene. Raised in Harare, Zimbabwe, he started DJing at house parties and birthdays at just 15, before moving to the Western Cape to chase his passion for dance music.

He has since built an international career, headlining shows across Africa and Asia, including two of the Top 100 nightclubs in the world: Sky Garden in Bali and Modo Ultra Club in Beijing. Known for his smooth mixing and open-format style, Chris moves freely between genres. “I don’t care about genres. If I like how it sounds, I’ll play it.”

In March 2012 he won the Avicii SA Tour DJ competition, and in February 2015 he was one of very few local artists selected for the main stage at Ultra South Africa, returning to the line-up in 2016. He has held residencies at some of Cape Town’s top venues, including Shimmy Beach Club, and was the resident DJ for Neon Run South Africa, playing to more than 50,000 people across the country.

Festival credits include Ultra South Africa, Rage Festival, Sound of Summer (Namibia), Fun in the Sun, Nova Music Festival, One World New Year’s Festival, Neverland (Zimbabwe) and Electric Vines. Next stop: Tomorrowland.
