---------------------------------------------------------------
Crissy Criss is a figure that lives and breathes Drum & Bass and everything it stands for. His legacy stands as a testament to his influence, one that many of his counterparts have been unable to match. A DJ, producer, and a label owner, his seminal ten-year BBC Radio 1& 1 Xtra show put him on the map, but it’s his DJ skill and releases which followed that have enabled him to stay ahead of the game. After becoming a weekly drum & bass tastemaker, as well as one of dance music’s most notable figures on the decks and on the radio airwaves ,he’s gone on to feature across these stations, although this time with his own sounds. From his imprintWar on Silence, featuring BBC Radio 1 play-listed records like‘Real’, his profile has grown considerably, and he’s a multi-faceted artist in the truest sense.
During his time at the BBC, Crissy helped shine the light on record labels and careers of Netsky, Camo & Krooked, Wilkinson, Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, FuntCase, Metrik, MindVortex, Fred V & Grafix, SPY, Rene LaVice, Dimension and many more to become iconic names in coming years for those in the know. As well as servicing the underground, the 1 Xtra show also attracted many mainstream accolades - including a Sony Radio Award nomination for his 'Story of the Amen Break’ radio documentary. Keeping the BBC’s flagship urban station on the pulse of underground music, Crissy co-led 1Xtra to 3 Best Radio Station awards at the prestigious Drum & Bass Awards in 2008, 2009, and 2013, also securing himself in the Best Radio Show category in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. Using his undeniable mixing talent and respected position, Crissy Criss has become an ambassador for D&B - representing the genre at numerous 1Xtra Live gigs alongside the likes of Alicia Keys, Disclosure, Chase & Status, and more.
Since this point, his ascent has been unstoppable; with multiple LPs, a record label, and an illustrious career as a DJ standing in the backdrop, Crissy Criss has broken boundaries. His marketing prowess, alongside his skillset within the studio and behind the decks, have made him a formidable force - classed as one of the most technically gifted DJs in the scene, solidifying his position as an international top DnB artist smashing festivals and club crowds in every corner of the globe.
