Chris Kaz moves in otherworldly frequencies. On 'Unlearn', his 2022 project, the recording artist, filmmaker, actor and musical polymath transcends the current realm over 12 tracks. From the outset, hallucinogenic rhythms melt into warped harmonics, psychedelic keys and colossal bass- driven, futuristic beats begging to be played at thundering decibels in a sweat-soaked, underground London joint. He plunges into crystalline synths, melancholic G minors, and dark soul behind the boards as producer, engineer, composer and sound designer.

His position as label head transformed into the creative director, musical director and artistic director. Chris inked a deal with Ministry of Sound and released his first single 'Loving Squarel'. A string of additional tracks followed on Ministry by his dance alias " Boofi '' and then Dean Bryce at Ninja Tune called him in for production. He locked down his first gig at 333 Mother Bar in Shoreditch thanks to Enzo Tedeschi and the Napoli imprint "No Attitude Records" who also signed him.

Chris's unstoppable independent streak wouldn't be silenced, fuelled by a fresh focus to build his own brand he began posting on Instagram and not long after caught the attention of Brooklyn-based producer and Grammy winning team "The 83rd" (who'd previously remixed Missy Elliot, Mariah Carey and Tinashe among others). During their stint together the duo put out their collaborative EP 'Sleeping Fires' featuring the critically lauded single 'Save Us' (newly remastered and reissued on 'Unlearn'). Followed up by a remix package thanks to a sizeable contribution from The 83rd. Out on his own, Kaz put pen to paper and laid his emotions bare on his darkly delicate and ethereal single ‘Track 01’ He tackled the stereotypes towards men who might be afraid to express their own battles with personal demons, heartbreak and loss. And despite tearing into his own pain, confesses that lyrically the music took form like an out of body experience.

When pressed to sum up his production process, he describes "I start with a loop in my head, and it exacerbates in my mind until I put it into something tangible in the studio. Much like the lyrics, It can come from a tone I'm experimenting with, a story, a poem, from a mood or a channel to something I can't explain." He clocked co-signs for the visceral work from the likes of Complex, VICE, BBC Radio 1, off the back of premiering the first track off the unreleased LP 'Untold' on i-D. All this led him to link up with Sam Whitehouse. Perth Records founders Sam Whitehouse, Jose Mendez and Andy West (formerly of XL Recordings and Young Turks) had worked with phenomenal artists such as Sampha and Arca and came with a slew of artistically mad and gifted musical geniuses. Alongside East London club kids who were unafraid of kicking down doors, Kaz's affinity for their parties at Berghain, Berlin and large raves in London, UK, was reignited. As well as the path to his final resting place at Perth Records illuminated (Perth Recordings Ltd) With his sonic aesthetic firing at maximal levels, Chris put out his hugely hyped project 'Reprobate' as a quarantine album and love letter to the 2020 pandemic.

He took over the imprint from Whitehouse as label owner and carved into his fast-approaching and most progressive project to date 'Unlearn' backed by fellow multi-hyphenated contemporary artist and manager: GAIKA (Warp Records). " If 'Reprobate' articulates the current pandemic and what a society in desperate need of upheaval and change looks and feels like - then Unlearn is the answer to how we all ascend from it." Produced, Recorded and Engineered by Chris Kaz, featuring his vocals and all else. Over the course of the album, Kaz explores his fascination with Asian harmonics throughout as well as UFO's, A.I. and Extraterrestrials on his track: 'Understood.'

He waxes lyrical dreams about collaborations with Nicholas Jarr and Thome Yorke, then beams at the potential of live gigs, plans to get heavier into film, his own gallery show, as well as launching a festival with Perth's growing roster. Chris Kaz makes darkly soulful electronic music. From his west London studio. He meticulously creates beautifully melancholic tales of lost love, especially in the lockdown era.

Delicate yet claustrophobically personal Unlearn is an unmistakably British record yet it embraces a cross cultural hybridity that owes as much to Kieran Hebden and Thom Yorke as it does to Pusha T or Flying Lotus. In this body of work the uncompromising artist has found a wholly new incarnation of the same melancholic force permeating Massive Attack's seminal Mezzanine, Portishead's Dummy or James Blake stunning debut .

Beyond his entrepreneurial pursuits, Mr. Kazolides is a gifted musician, producer, film- maker, production company and record label owner, releasing several recordings under the moniker "Chris Kaz," he possesses a discerning ear for sound and a keen eye for design, which contribute to the extraordinary experiences he creates for his audience. His most Sizeable of achievements in the Music industry are projects such as the Creative Direction for artist FKA Twigs in ASAP Rocky’s Video : ”Fukkk Sleep” and the collaboration with the artist "Flume" and "Virgen Maria" under his label Perth Records as managing director.
