THE OUTLINE:
From the affinity of a Kraftwerk record sleeve, Chloe Harris has lived and breathed electronic sounds from the tender young age of five. Machine-like sounds coupled with autonomous looks inspired Chloe to repetitively listen to a sound that was just becoming prevalent throughout the world. While the world was listening to cheese-filled radio, Chloe was heading in other directions.

THE PAST:
Exploring music to a deeper degree during her junior high days meant her social collective was also evolving, and by the ninth grade, she found an enthusiast in Ryan, an older boy with a different perspective of music with one group that would be instrumental in the motivation for Chloe – Skinny Puppy. Fusing hardcore sounds with an emotional tip, it was some of the most amazing material Chloe had encountered. Unsurprisingly, it opened more avenues for her to explore and she found content with groups such as Mentallo and the Fixer and Wumpscut.

By high school, Chloe has completed her evolution. Desperately trying to source out different electronic genres, she became a frequent visitor of the outdoor and underground parties and would stay out until morning listening to amazing music - a theme most of us are akin to. The way the DJ intimately yet controllably reached the dancer made Chloe think it could be a career change for the best. However, without detailed musical knowledge at the time, let alone how it all functioned, she decided to just watch, listen and learn. By experiencing Autechre and FSOL as well as listening to ambient and old, seminal trance mixes, Chloe began to dissect and learn the sound, the textures and most importantly, the rhythms.

DJ-ING:
While envisaging a career in DJ’ing, Chloe began work at Easy Street, a record store where she ordered in all forms of electronic music. With four years notched into her belt, she learnt how to sell the sounds to people who were there for other musical tastes. By the end, Chloe had become a patron for people who needed suggestions on where to head for the latest electro sounds and with groups like Underworld and the Crystal Method, it was an easy task. While keeping within this trend, Chloe also ensure that the more dubbed out sides such as experimental music were being directed to people she thought would feel it.

However, with the commercialization of the culture, Chloe saw herself moving on to brighter pastures. Platinum Records was her next home, and it’s here she learnt the concepts behind labels and how they were all intertwined. It was during her time at Platinum that Chloe started getting gigs. The first experiences are always nervous times, but she came out of them with people dancing, screaming and having a helluva lot of fun.

RECENT AND FUTURE PROJECTS:
With Chloe now a stalwart within the electronic music industry, you’ll know that if you ever encounter her, you’re in for a great time.
