An artist with a long, rich and varied history, Chris Cargo<br />
has been at the forefront of the underground dance music<br />
scene for over 30 years. A career that began in the 1990s<br />
has seen the UK star carve out a sizeable niche with his<br />
distinctive blend of progressive, deep and melodic house,<br />
resulting in over 200 production credits for some of the<br />
finest modern imprints and a DJ touring schedule that has<br />
seen Chris reach all corners of the globe.<br />
No stranger to working with the biggest event organisers and brands, Chris’<br />
work behind the decks has seen him tour across the continents with a variety of<br />
leading global brands as China, as the USA and South America have all played<br />
host to his free-flowing and immaculately crafted sets. To that end, it is no<br />
surprise to see Chris play to packed clubs and festivals in over 60 countries and<br />
a century of cities with his trademark sound – from France to the Netherlands<br />
and Germany to Malaysia, Mexico and Sweden, Chris Cargo has continued to<br />
enrapture audiences with an innate understanding of what makes a dancefloor<br />
coalesce in unified movement.<br />
Contemporaneously, a stellar production career has seen Chris reach even<br />
wider audiences as his music appeared on such celebrated compilation series<br />
by Renaissance, Global Underground and Carl Cox’s Intec. Regular plays on<br />
BBC Radio 1 and appearances in MixMag and DJ <strong>Magazine</strong> have further served<br />
to cement a glowing reputation. Still able to appear in the upper echelons of the<br />
Beatport chart on a regular basis, including two HYPE number ones, a plethora<br />
of releases over the past 5 years have seen success on Paul Thomas’<br />
renowned UV, Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden and D-Nox & Beckers<br />
influential Sprout. Moreover, it is with his own If You Wait imprint that Chris Cargo<br />
has celebrated almost a half century of credits as he uses the UK label as a<br />
vehicle for his own production work, in addition to celebrating myriad<br />
established and up and coming artists. Able to use If You Wait to showcase his<br />
own original music, March 2022 was a landmark moment as Chris released his 11-<br />
track, “Resistance” album to widespread critical acclaim.<br />
Still as driven and influential than he has ever been after more than 3 decades<br />
in a notoriously fickle industry, Chris Cargo continues to find himself shaping the<br />
modern music industry within both the live and production arenas through<br />
impressive technique and craftsmanship. Able to harness those characteristics<br />
into a powerful driving force, Chris Cargo’s career continues to go from strength to<br />
strength.
