Christopher Carl is not new to DJ'ing. He has been around for many years developing his craft and playing out at festivals and internet radio shows. You may have already heard of him under his previous aliases:    dj404, fluffypuppy, The Electric Jesus Machine, SERV, and a few others. So why so many names? Some were a phase, some were experimental projects he was working on. In March 2008, he decided to put away all the different names and bring it all together under his very own name. So let's talk a bit about his history as a DJ, producer, promoter, and record label AR. 

• 1992 - 1993: Was 1/4 of a local California rap group, Inzperashen. The group toured around the Antelope Valley and Mojave Desert performing at churches and outdoor concerts.
• 1993: Formed a Christian DJ crew called CDP, providing spiritually positive and energetic music for church youth groups and birthday parties.
• 1993 - 1995: Threw several small scale raves at an apartment clubhouse / pool in Broken Arrow, OK.

• 1995 - 1999: Teamed up again with Inzperashen member and best friend John Baltzley to tag team as resident DJ's for a youth group in Lancaster, CA. The two played out live at events in Lancaster as well as Costa Rica and Trinidad.

• 2008: Dropped all aliases and took on his own name, Christopher Carl, professionally.

   Currently, Christopher is heavily promoting himself nationwide in an effort to get booked on much larger venues and events. His style is primarily house music, but he has been known to dip into trance if it falls into the direction his set is going. His influences are heavily pulled from his high school days listening to club music and late night DJ's on the radio during the years of 1988 - 1993. While playing new tracks in his set, he carefully chooses tracks that are reminiscent of those old skool days.

   Personally, Christopher is a follower of Jesus Christ. His faith is extremely important and the life he received from the love of Christ is priceless to him. He is also married to Crystal and the two have a website that focuses on their life together in an attempt to keep all their friends and family nationwide updated on what they are doing. They live in a small suburb south of Topeka, KS.
